Long story short.

I was at the range yesterday and saw an old McGreggor VIP 4 iron blade in the spare club bin for $2 so I bought it. I currently play VIP muscle backs so I thought it would be a cool addition to my set and to occasionally hit it at the range.

I have a spare PX 5 Iron shaft that is the same flex as the rest of my set, never used, never cut.  Whats the downside, if any, to trimming this shaft and throwing it into the 4 iron head?

Also, does anyone know the tip diameter of the Jack Nicklaus edition VIP blades?........ (and yes I have a swing weight scale, tungsten, cork, epoxy, grips, etc...).  Cause if the diameter is off Ill prob just throw a new grip on it and call it a day.

It's called hard stepping. Should play about 1/3-1/2 flex stiffer. MacGregor JN VIP's? I think they are .355t

thanks! Looks like the diameters are the same in both sets. Think ill skip the hard stepping and just regrip it.
