I have NS Pro 850's - lightweight steel. I haven't played enough rounds to know for sure how well I like them. DGS300's seemed a bit heavy and these actually seem a little too light. Would like to try DG SL's weight is in between these two.

I'm not a pro just a struggling high handicapper. I have the stock graphite with Callaway Fusion (hence the name fusioncal). The reason I'd chosen graphite over steel was because at the beginning of learning golf, steel shaft (swing weight) weighted too much for me after approx. 50 balls in the range. Now my swing speed has improved and I'm looking to re-shaft my irons soon. My choice falls to N.S. Pro 950GH. It's steel but with the benefit of graphite. Lighter than Dynamic Gold about 30 grams and even lighter than Dynalite Gold SL 10 grams less or more (I think). I don't want to lose my swing speed with, IMO, unnecessary extra weights. Definitely don't want to lose my will and balance in the last few holes on the course. So, yeah it's N.S. Pro 950 GH for me.
What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular

Dynamic Gold, I've been using them for well over 20 years. I know them, I like them, I won't change them :). Sometimes I've had S300's and sometimes S400's depending on what the manufacturer of whichever irons I am using stocks. When I was playing a lot and hitting the ball very hard (15+ years ago) I used X100's for a few years, too stiff for me now.

If you go back more than 5 years I still had DG's in my driver and 3 wood. I do have a driver at the moment I used for most of last year with a DG S300 SL in it but I've recently gone back to my Mizuno MP-001 with an NV in it as I'm hitting the ball very solid and very straight at the moment. Early last year I was carving it all over the place so I went to a shorter steel shaft in an attempt to find more fairways, it worked too.

I hit 3 different types of 6 irons indoors with duct tape on the face last week. Mizuno M-60, Callaway X Forged, Titleist 755 (I think)
I thought I was going to like the Mizuno but the feel of the Callaway X forged was the best of the 3 I tried. The Callaway had Project x 6.0 in it and I was wondering how much the shaft plays into feel of the club? I assume a lot. Also my current irons are Taylor Made Rac LT 2004 model with Rifle 6.0 in them. Maybe the feel was similar due to the shafts being similar?

What do you guys think?

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...
