What would happen if I got a dynamic gold s300 shafts soft stepped once? What would it cause the shots to do. my swing speed is 82 with a 6 iron and the shaft optimizer recommended soft stepping a stiff shaft. Or do you think I shouldnt soft step the shaft?

Try hitting the s300 standard in the club head you are interested in and see how it goes. If you like the flight and don't think it is too stiff leave it.

I don't know what "soft stepping" a shaft does, but I wanted to share something my fitter informed me about DG S300 shafts. I currently use that shaft on my irons and he was saying that "about 95 out of 100 amateurs aren't a right fit for this shaft". His reasoning was that amateurs don't create enough whip with their irons to truly realize the benefit of DG S300 shafts. For point of reference, I'm 27 years old with a "relatively higher" swing speed and he still didn't like me with that shaft.

Well I think that might be true to a certain point. I was told if you swing atleast 80 mph then its good for you. Really its about if you like low ball flight then they are a great shaft to use, prolly the best. Most clubs use these shafts, I have a cleveland wedge that has it for its standard shaft and your irons have it on them. Club makers wouldnt use them in their clubs as standard if 95 out of 100 amateurs couldnt use them which is the majority of people that will buy clubs from makers.

Sure they would. Club makers are out to make money. DG shafts are the least expensive.

haha, I doubt that is the main reason club makers use it. There is alot of research and feedback that goes into which shaft to use.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
