Iron shafts

[Golfguy17]

Getting fitted for some irons and was just wondering on what kind of steel shaft to put on them. I have seen some stories of cheap shafts making the clubs have bad feel to them or not hitting well. They are going to be trimmed down a little and in senior flex. So any ideas on which shaft is appreciated.

Since you're getting senior flex I'm assuming you're slightly older in age and might want something a little higher in flight. Maybe try the DG Dynalite High or the PX high launch

Well i am a little younger and have a tendency to hit the ball low. Maybe i should go with something else, or would those be good options either way? I am very confused as to what to get. Thanks

There is now a Dynamic Gold High Launch as well. I have not hit them, but having hit the old Dynamic Gold SL (which was a lightweight shaft with higher launch than the standard DG) I think they might be a good fit in a R flex. Depending whether or not money is a concern, it might be worth checking into getting graphite in your irons as well. Graphite shafts in irons have come a long way in the last few years. They do not really have the same control issues that they used to, but are much lighter and will really help you get the ball in the air easily. I've read good things about the Aldila irons shafts (green shaft) and on the few occasions I have hit demo clubs with them I have liked the feel. The only downside to graphite these days is that they are a bit more expensive (at least if you get good shafts).

I recently went to a senior flex in my irons and driver. I did this because 1.I hit the ball low, 2. I have a smooth tempo 3. I tried them first and was amazed at their performance FOR ME. Now I'm carrying my 7 iron 150-155 and which is about 5 yards farther and on a much higher trajectory than before.

The point of that is this...here is someone else that can and does play with senior flex, graphite no less. JMHO the Nippon 950 is an awesome steel shaft for that type of swing. I'm not sure if they have a model designated "senior" but I'd give them a look anyway. When I hit them I got a solid feel with a nice high flight and plenty of spin. Maybe consider them on the short list?

Good Luck!

any iron shaft that has a higher launch...it doesn't really matter that much considering your handicap. Lets remember tiger and AK both played with clubs that were too heavy and stiff for them growing up.

If your being fitted with a compentent fitter he should be able to put in the proper shafts...

All right thanks everyone... defiantly gonna look at all the different ideas you all had, and hope that one works well.
