DIY Flighted / or softstepping long irons and hard stepping scoring irons

[clearwaterms]

I am curious to find out what the effects would be if somebody did the following.

Take a shaft that can be trimmed for multiple flexes (say the True Temper TT lite or Dynalite) soft step the 3 iron a step or step and a half, then soft step the 4 iron a little less, the 5 iron even less, the 6 iron is trimmed to flex, the 7 iron trimmed to flex, 8 iron 1/2 hard step, 9 iron full hard step, etc.

In my estimation this would give you more loft on your longer irons, and give you more accuracy on your shorter. What would be the harm in doing something like this, has anybody ever tried anything like this?

I haven't heard of anybody doing something like this. Seems to me in theory that the lower irons will also have a much different feel than the higher ones due to the stepping differences, not even thinking about any ball flight differences. I'm curious though, if you do what you are thinking of, please post your results!

I would reccomend PX or Rifle flighted shafts. They change the kickpoint, not the flex. Changing the flex may result in whippy long irons and your short irons will be a lot harder to hit, I think at least. Flex has to do with swing speed, and you swing your short irons a little bit slower than the middle and long ones, so I don't think that would work.
