New iron shafts for Nike VR full cavity

[Gatorocity]

Hello everyone, I got fitted for my irons about 1.5 yrs ago at a local golf galaxy, they clocked my 6 iron swing speed around 107+ and told me I would need X-stiff shafts so that's what I went with. I used to play with Tommy Armour 845's with stiff shafts, I hit the ball high and some what long...8 iron carry would be between 165-170. With the new irons I have lost a club in length and my ball flight has changed dramatically. The shafts that are in the Nike's are True Temper X100. I also know the Nike's lofts are a lil on the stronger side with a difference of 2-3 degrees less loft from my old irons. But I don't think that constitutes the loss of distance and affect my ball flight that much. So I'm in the market for a budget iron shaft that will get me my length and ball flight back. I'm open to suggestions! Also, I don't even know the tip diameter that fits the nike's, so if anyone has that info it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

That is EXTREMELY fast.

I think what he's trying to say is that it's so fast it's basically unbelievable. The long hitters on the PGA Tour don't swing their 6I that fast.

How far do you hit your 6 iron?

i find it suprising with swing speeds and distances like you say that you are using vr full cavities. im would have thought you would be using a muscle back or blade of some sort

[Gatorocity]

Like I stated above I have lost a full club since switching irons, I would say my 6I iron is my 180-190 yrd club, old clubs it was 190-200, but can I get some recommendations on iron shafts instead of questioning my club head speed, regardless I don't like the current set up I have and all I'm asking for are a few suggestions! Also, I'm sure my club head speed isn't always that high, but when I was fittedfor the irons that's what the golf tech clocked me at. Thanks

I hit 3 sets of clubs...2 sets of callaways and the nike's, the nike's felt the best to me! Plus I wasn't willing to spend 7-9 hundred dollars on a set of clubs

My 6 iron is my 190-200 yard club ( and my irons are lofted strong ), and my driver swing speed is 110-115 - only slightly faster than your 6 iron. I don;t know what my 6 iron speed is, but it is nowhere near yours. Something is wrong.

I guess so

Yeah, people aren't obsessing over your swing speed because they want to obsess over it. You wanted help with shafts and to do that an accurate swing speed helps.

[Gatorocity]

That's the info I was given and the only time I have had my swing speed checked

Fair enough. I suggest you get it re-checked. Or just throw it aside and consider that you hit your 6I 190 yards.

There's lots of shafts out there. Do you hit the ball too high? Do you need a flatter trajectory? What about feel? Weight? What weight shafts do you have now? What do you like or dislike about the trajectory?

[Gatorocity]

My trajectory is a little too flat for my liking, I would prefer to hit the ball high on normal shots, I can usually hit decent knock down shots if I need to, I'm not sure on the weight of the shafts, they are standard length true temper x100's

[Gatorocity]

Does anyone know the tip diameter of the Nike vr full cavitys? So I can atleast look at a few different shafts

[michaeljames92]

.370 I believe.
