Hi Guys,

I am new to the forum. I treid posting this last night but I do not think it worked. Anyway...

I am looking at the Burner Plus irons. I got fitted at Dicks Sporting goods. They said I need + 1-1/4". They charge extra money to lengthen the clubs.

I found the same clubs on Golfequipment18. They said they do not charge for longer clubs. They install a complete new shaft. They use DG 300, Project X ,NS PRO950 Steel shaft .

Would it be better to have the stock shaft lengthened or should I go with the new shaft? Which shaft out of the ones listed below would you go with if you think a new shaft is a better idea.

Thanks,

Joe

I'd go with the new shafts. Besides being cheaper, I'd feel more comfortable with a whole shaft rather than one with an insert. As far as the brand, it's a preference thing. I recommend the DG S300. I've tried them all, but I always go back to Dynamic Gold.

Golfequipment18 is selling counterfeit clubs. They offer  50% "discounts" on brands that do not allowing discounting. (Most likely Burners, and definitely Titlist, with Scotty Cameron putters being the most faked clubs of all.)

The name Golfequipment18 was a clue to do a Google search on them. Another clue is their use of the English language. (worse then me!)

The Internet is full of sellers of counterfeit clubs.

Another clue:  "Currently, We only accept VisaCard Payment or Western Union Payment at this moment"  I kinda chuckled at all teh positive comments for the Burners.  I wonder how many were provided by Golfequipment18?!

I'm just curious, how tall are you?

yea how tall are you? an inch and a quarter is a lot of extra length. tall people are taller so you would think they need longer clubs, but their arms are longer as well... therefore the distance from wrist to ground does not directly correlate with height. Maybe you just have short arms though haha. Im 6-4 and my clubs are all 3/4 of an inch taller.

      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.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
