Getting ready to order my first set of graphite shafted irons, the Acer XDS React irons. Since I have never played a graphite shaft in my irons I was wanting to get some opinions on the ones they offer and that I have done a little research on. I use stiff shafted Ping G15's right now, and had stiff rifle shafts in my old X16 pro's. Tryng to decide between what Hireko offers in shafts and have come down to these three. UST Proforce Rv2 95 gold iron graphite shaft, SK Fiber Tour Trac 100, and True Ace Cadence Red Iron 85. I think these are all older shafts and the first two are the more expensive. The True Ace Cadence Red shaft was fairly cheap, but is suppose to be made for aggressive swing speeds. I have not been able to find much feedback on them really. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All I know is Aerotech Steelfiber for graphite core iron shafts. Low torque, lots of weights - very consistent.

Good luck on your purchase.

All three are designed for high club head,quick transition and low ball flight. All would work,it's just a matter on how mcuh you have to spend. Another shaft that would fit the bill ---- http://www.hirekogolf.com/hireko/orderportal/catalog_presentation/by_group/0/718/0/0/0/0/0 They are being phased out because of this shaft---- http://www.hirekogolf.com/hireko/orderportal/catalog_presentation/by_group/0/1439/0/0/0/0/0 The ProLaunch series is a tremdous shaft and at $26.95 is a good deal.  Since Hireko is at the PGA  Mechandise show this week, I am sure Jeff Summit weill not be in office.  Call him next week and he will give you the true skinny on  the shafts.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
