Hello, here's a question from the Netherlands, Europe.

At this moment i'm playing with the Wishon 550M (sw-7i) and 550C (6i-3i).
The heads are 2* upright and the TX Tour S are 1" extra length.
I'm a smooth swinger. My average 5i distance is 140-150 meter (??165 y i guess). I have a high ball flight.

I'm thinking of reshafting my irons and i want to go back in flex to in between R and S. I'm also thinking of light weight steel shafts.

What suggestions do you have for me? What shafts would fit me well? What is the best way to cut the shafts to come to an in between flex?

although a stiff shaft is highly desirable in the bedroom it sounds as if its costing you inches where it counts- on th golf course. If you are hitting 5 iron 140 metres you may like to consider a reg flex steel or even a graphite shaft.

That's the reason why i want to go back to R or in between R and S.

What light weight steel shaft can you recommend?
Posted
True Temper Dynamic Gold Super Light
Flex R300
Weight 106
Tip Diameter 0.355t"

The Flex Will Add Distance While The Tip Diameter And Other Shaft Properties Wil Produce A Low Launch Angle To Counter Your High Ball Flight.

    • Day 39: did top golf for an hour with the family. It was fun but also not really like real golf at all. Also did some mirror work - working on the backswing stuff mostly. 
    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
