Ive been pondering a new ironset for a while now and over the weekend my friend/playing partner finally snapped and bought himself a new set of MaxFli C3's. Ive been playing my 2002 Bertha's for 4 years now they are R FLEX Graphite shafts and the huge looking clubhead and whip like shafts are starting to bother me quite a bit.

Im considering upgrading to this The Wilson Progressive Combo Set http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11287351&cp;=4413989.4414118

3-4 Hybrid

5-6 SGI

7-8 Cavity Back

9-PW Muscle Back

I just cant find a single review on these anywhere.. So..

My question's are will a Uniflex Steel Shaft feel less whip like than my old R Flex graphite shafts?

Also is it a good idea to have a combo set like this? My goal is to improve and maybe 3-4 years from now own a set of blades.

After work today im going to swing through Dicks and get a static fit and take a few swings with these, I may even impulse buy them today. If im feeling really good about them.

Thanks for your answers.

I don't know much about this specific set at all, but if you are looking to go into a set of blades in the next couple years it will help you definitely get a feel for them. The 9-PW in the set are already "Blades" so if you can hit those incredibly well in the future you will be in great shape.

    • 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.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
