Hi - New to the Forum - but hoping to get some adivce/opinions on a question I have.  I am a mid-80's player, and I have broken 80 a handful of times with 76 being my lowest score.

I was hitting my driver about 245 regularly, but I had a lot of spin and a very high launch.  On the advice of a guy at Golf Town, I got my driver reshafted.  I was hitting a 55g regular flex with a low kick point (the shaft that came with the driver).  They put in an Adilla NV 65 stiff shaft.  Long story short, it instantly reduced my spin and I started driving this thing up the middle and I was carrying about 260 yards.  This has got me thinking that I shoudl look into reshafting my 3 wood and hybrids.  I am even considering reshafting my 5 and 6 irons as I pull them left and think I may need a stiffer flex.

So, my question - should I look into buying new equipment, or just stick to reshafting?  I currently hit Adams Idea Tech A4 Irons and hybrids (3&4) with regular flex.  I like the clubs, and would prefer to keep the heads if it made sense.

Any advice would greatly be appreciated.  Also, if you can suggests any good shafts for a three wood, hybrid, or irons - that would be great.  I am looking for a lower ball flight and less spin.

Thanks


Go back to GT and test some shafts. The launch monitor can narrow the choices for you.

If you really like what you have, re-shafting is the way to go.


Definitely consider re-shafting over new clubs. Shafts can make a world of difference. Have you considered checking the lie angle of the irons you are pulling to see if that could be the cause. Obviously your swing speed is probably the biggest factor since you are using regular flex shaft in your irons as well, but the lie angle could definitely be a cause of the lefts.....especially if it's consistent.

    • I'll try to post a bit more here as the season moves on.  Yesterday was my first "referee gig" this year, the first of a two-day event for juniors.  No real unusual rulings, but a couple of slightly complicated situations with two consecutive drops.  There's a hole with a Red Penalty Area down the right, with a cart path running parallel.  On a couple of occasions a player had to take Penalty Area relief.  Two clublengths from the point of entry required dropping no further left than the center of the cart path.   Once that relief procedure was completed, he took relief from the cart path.  Due to the relatively small distance between the path and the PA, the Nearest Point of Complete Relief was to the "fairway side" of the path.  I made the Player consider a drop to the PA side, with the player's feet clear of the path (i.e. complete relief from interference), but that would have put the drop in the Penalty Area, which isn't acceptable. Something which I now see as common, this 36-hole event is defined as four 9-hole stipulated rounds.  This is done so that, if bad weather sets in, there can be legitimate results if everyone has completed at least 9 holes.
