Hey guys,

I will be honest, I am very familiar with the products of the big name golf companies in both the U.S. and overseas, however It is hard for me on my own to figure out what is best for me.

I'm around a 15 handicap currently. I used to be much better until I reached a point in my life when I didnt play a single round for over 4+ years and then had an injury and had to have a shoulder reconstructed. I'm a smaller guy that doesnt have much power behind my swing and has an average swing speed in the 85-90mph range. I would like to speed up my swing, but I simply dont have the best range of motion or power to do so. I have figured out drivers and woods that work for me (burner superfast 2.0) but I cannot seem to figure out irons. The only thing I know for sure is that I do not want to be playing steel shafts and I like a real rubbery/sticky grip.

Should I be looking at stiff or regular graphite shafts? Any in particular? I would like to add some distance to my shots. I drive in the 200yd range with an every so often bomb in the 220-235 range. Before I switched to the superfast I was around 180-190 with an occasional 200yd drive.  I hit the RBZ and it didnt work for me at all, the r11s was good, but not as good as the superfast 2.0, my swing speed is also faster with the 2.0, and even though the clubs are long, I can still hit them consistently and feel comfortable.

Any recommendations on irons and shafts? I have the chance to hit nearly anything, and I dont really care what the cost is. I want to improve my game now that I am able to play much more frequently.

Thanks

    • Day 1: 2026.01.03 Played 18 at Cape Kidnappers. Getting back into it after a few days off. Mixed results.
    • Day 40: short range session. Worked on my drill mostly. Finished with some full swings and driver swings. Range was packed because it was so nice out. Solid session though. 
    • Day 5, 1/3/26.  Today was a weird day schedule-wise, but I did find 15 minutes to hit 6-iron shots (indoors, off a mat, into a net).  I also got to thinking about yesterday's round and, other than a few thin shots (that I think were weather/grip related), I didn't have any wild non-driver shots, which was weird for me.  I need to get back to video, which is tough in my setup. Also, this wouldn't count on its own, but anyone reading this and thinking about doing their own 5 minutes daily, check out Fit for Golf's latest podcast episode.  It's only a few minutes and Mike does a great job talking about the importance of doing a bit each day.  That also reminded me, I let my FFG subscription lapse, I'm going to renew it.
    • Day 32 (3 Jan 26) - Misty, rainy day - opted to rehearse swing in the mirror - focused on face position at P6 thru P9.
