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

    • 6 rules changes the PGA Tour is enacting in 2026 (and what triggered them) The PGA Tour shared several rules changes with its players on Tuesday. Here's what you need to know about why the rules have been modified.    
    • JPX ONE Driver - Mizuno Golf Official Website Discover the JPX ONE Driver - /jpxone/jpxone-driver-hero-mobile.webp /jpxone/jpxone-logo-white-lg.svg The World’s first NANOALLOY™ DRIVER... Mizuno is introducing new technology with their JPX One fairway woods and drivers. The new tech for golf but used tech for Mizuno since it is found in their baseball side of the business, is Nanoalloy. Nanoalloy is a microscopic polymer layer put on the face of their titanium driver. What this layer does is change the elasticity of the driver face and increases ball speed over a larger area of the clubface. Adding a bit more elasticity with this layer, they are conserving the golf balls energy from the impact.  Due to USGA rules, this technology falls under their coating regulations. Which add a correction factor to the ball speed testing done for conforming golf clubs. This rule was introduced when Taylormade went to their carbon clubface. Which I didn't know existed.  I am sure that center strikes are at the USGA limits like all other drivers. This has my interest. I am always, "window shopping", for new golf equipment 😉
