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.

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.

      Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on.

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
