I recently switched from standard TM 105g stiff shafts to 6.5 130g flighted PX shafts.  My natural miss is a block, however now it seems that is my regular shot....

I have did my reading on blocks and what causes them but, would like to know if the weight of the shaft/stiffness of the shaft could be making it harder for me to swing the club on a better path.  If so, how?  Please explain as I'd like to know the why and not just the what.

Thanks!

Mike

A true block is caused by an in-to-out swing path and a clubface that is square to the path.  If this is what you've got, play with grip and ball position.

For what it's worth, the PX 6.5 shafts are pretty grizzly.  I've got them in my irons, and i initially hit plenty of fades until I was accustomed to them.

Well what makes it harder with the shafts is that they do not match my woods.  I play with the Superfast XCon Stiff in my driver, 3 wood, and 18° fairway.  It almost takes two different swings to produce good shots.

How did you end up with the 6.5s?
