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 :/

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
