I've always had to special order my irons because of my height (6'5") and have always gotten the same shaft (TT Dynamic Gold S300 +1"). I recently went to custom order a Titleist Vokey wedge from Golfsmith and the shaft choices included different launch angles. There's no obvious "regular" choice; there is a selection of low-, mid-, and high-launch for the shaft. I've done a little reading on the subject but have on only come across advice such as "if you hit the ball too high, get a low-launch shaft." I hit the ball high, but I'm fine with it as in the Northeast there isn't much wind.

So, any suggestions on how to navigate these choices?

Thanks!

Bump.

Come on, folks. I need to spend some money! If you go here and select Wedge, Titleist, Vokey Spin Milled Tour Chrome 09, it will take you to the next page where you are faced with the choice of 24 different shafts. I know I want a stiff, steel shaft, but I just don't know whether I want a low-launch, mid-launch, or high-launch. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

the DG is a low launch shaft, if that helps any.

That does help. Thank you!
