So I built a beautiful set of Pinhawk single length Irons 5-PW; however, I order one short of the number of shafts I needed I have an extra Graphite shaft around that I ordered by Mistake. Can I put use it or should I just wait to get an extra shaft  that matches those I have in the set?

Please don't Flame, I'm new

You can use a graphite shaft but you'd need to make sure it's the same tip size as the iron shafts.  Most graphite wood shafts have either .335 or .350 tips while irons usually have .355 taper tip or .370 parallel tips.  In the end, it's probably easier just to order a matching steel shaft.

He could use an aluminum rod too.

Point being you can shaft it with whatever you want or have.  But since you are building a matched set (especially a single length set), and just ordered one less shaft then needed, you should order the missing shaft and build a matched set.  They are in PA, you are in MI.  It will probably arrive the following day.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
