Hi, I'm looking to switch to new irons. I want to go from the RAC OS 2's to last year's titleist 704 CB. And the guy at golfsmith looked at me hit about 10 or so balls with my rac os 2's that have standard length, regular stock shaft, everything. and he told me they were right for me and didnt have to change anything. So if I got the 704 CB's with the stock Dynamic Gold R300 shafts, would it be very close to the stock shafts in the taylor made rac's i have right now?

ilikegolf,

The stock T-step shafts on the RAC OS 2's is far softer in the tip than any Dynamic Gold product, even R200. They are the proverbial "apples and oranges." However, that does not mean they are not a good fit for you.

Thanks for the reply. So since the tip is softer in the RAC's I might find the R300 Dynamic Gold a little stiffer. Does this mean I should probably look at getting my new irons fitted, or do you think that playing with the R300's shouldn't be too bad. I want to play a few rounds with the set before actually making investments in the clubs.

ilikegolf,

Yes, please do get fitted. Fitting for iron shafts isn't quite as complicated as for woods since there are far fewer choices. It basically boils down to your preference for tip stiff dynamic gold, or butt stiff rifle. Which one fits you best is based solely on your swing and tempo. Go find someone who can fit you for shafts.

looks like i not only have to worry about the flex, but also the weight of the club because i just saw today the shafts on my RAC's are only 90g but the Dynamic Gold R300 are in the 120's :/

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
