To reshaft or not...

[Alohaed]

Bought my MX200s over 3 years ago. Had a terrible swing back then, decelerating at impact, therefore had to get the lightest, shaft available,  Now, after several lessons,tons of times at the range and playing much more often, my swing has improved immensley and am hitting down on the ball, etc.  I now lost 10 - 15 yards because I am hitting balloon shots, too high. Should I reshaft my 5 - gw? And my sand and lob wedges?  If so, what might this cost roughly?  Would this be still considerably less expensive than buying new irons then? I would like to try the new MP54s, or AP1s(maybe AP2s)?  Or can I, with more lessons, adjust my stance to get my distance back, saving all that money?  .

Sounds like you've earned at least a look at new clubs with your work.

My advise is get another lesson and ask your pro if he or she thinks you would benefit from new shafts and/or sticks. Get clubs that fit the swing you and your pro want you to have -- don't change your swing for the clubs you have.

Re-shafting can breath new life into your current clubs. But it is complicated when changing weights because the swing weight and feel will change. I love my new AeroTech shafts that are light but do not cause a ballon flight. There are plenty of options that can help with ball flight at many different weights.

But new sticks are nice to think about. If you are a Minuzo guy, as I am, look at the 54's JPX 825 Pros and even the now discontinued MP 53's. Shaft optimizer can help you narrow shaft options and get a setup you'll love with your new and improved swing.
