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 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels. 
    • Day 315 - 2025-08-12 Got a little work in before Juniors showed up for one of their Summer Sessions.
    • I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
    • Do need a special ferrul. Thanx 😉
