Okay guys, I would really appreciate your comments and input on this topic.  And before I ask, I will say that I understand this is as much a matter of feel and preference, as it is proper club fitting technique.

First, I little about me.

I have played the game since the age of 7.  Played through high school and college as +1.  Now, with 2 kids, I play once a week and realistically play to probably a 7.   I am about 6'1" and 180 lbs with a smooth transition.  Tend to keep my back swing around 80% (a bit more compact for control) and typically hit my 7 iron 150.  If its windy, I might even hit a 6 to keep it down.

The most consistent club that I have put in my bag in a long time is my R9 4 wood- and here is what I think I like about it- the shaft is heavier than what I used to play.  I have a standard length, stiff, F1 Motore in 80g shaft.  This club is amazing straight, and it feels as solid as any club I have ever hit.  I then decided to trade my hybrid from a 65g to 80g shaft and started hitting that dead straight- and the feel is amazing.

Anyone feel the same way and made these changes?

Now for the big question.  I am thinking about changing the shaft in my Superfast TP (44.5"/D5) AND I am looking for KBS shaft options for my Mizuno MP 58/68 combos (+.5")

What would be a good weight in my driver that would match an 80g fairway club?  Anyone try the UST AATAS?

What weight shaft would you recommend in my irons (given I like the feel of the heaver shafts) without making them too heavy?

Your comments are GREATLY appreciated!!!

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
