Does anyone have any theories on what would happen if you replaced the stock shaft of an iron with a driver shaft? That would probably be a really long iron, but would it be like a MEGA iron?

you get one massively high spin clubhead. 200 yd pitching wedge sounds about right, but it would balloon like no one's business.

Well that'd clearly be against the rules, and you'd be DQed. Drivers are limited to 460cc. Duh.

First, your question is just theory, not reality ... the I.D of an iron hosel is 0.370" and the O.D. of a wood shaft is 0.335" therefore the shaft wouldn't fit in the iron hosel very well and you couldn't glue it.

Second, I don't get the question other than you're trying to put a light, long shaft into an iron head?
I make all my own clubs:

You get a really hot putter with a curved face.

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
