hey guys...I've been playing the same irons for the last 10 years, and I'm a 7 hcp now...I always have to swing them really slower than what I can normally swing to keep them accurate...they are Golden Bear blades (from the 70's?) and I love the look...I wanted to get fitted for the first time ever because I want to see if equipment and fitting could help me get to scratch, so I went to golf headquarters and found out everything is pretty standard (I'm 5'10) from what he told me, except my swing speed with the driver was consistently between 121-126.  He suggested I get irons with a project x 6.0 or 6.5 shaft, depending on which I liked...I can't afford a $700+ set of irons, so I wanted to see if it would be possible to get my old irons re-shafted with those shafts and see if that would do the trick...here's my question to you guys:

is this a good idea to reshaft my old blades with the project x?  any other advice on clubs?  I've always played the same clubs (Callaway GBB 6.5 driver - old school :), these golden bear blades with regular shaft flex, wilson 8802, cleveland 56 degree sw...thanks so much and please respond asap...would like to decide soon before a tournament coming up...thanks again!

Go hit a bunch of irons find ones you like and look online there is a lot of good deals out there. If you break it down you're going to pay 300 for new shafts unless you're installing them that would be another 50 to 100. 400 will get you some very nice irons. Good luck
