I recently purchased a used set of Mizuno MP 32 Irons (4-PW) and I absolutely love them. I've always used game improvement cavity backs (currently own a set of Taylormade Rocketbladez, which I also love) but I feel more confident with bladed irons, especially at address.

The stock shafts, Dynamic Gold S300, don't seem stable enough (if that makes any sense). I was wondering which are the better shafts for launching the ball into a higher trajectory. I normally hit the ball nice and high but with the Mizuno's, my ball flight is much lower, so I'd like to reclaim that high flight with my blades.

Any help would be appreciated.

Reason ball is going lower is probably more due to the center of gravity being higher and closer to the face on a muscleback.  RBZ irons are the complete opposite.

To answer your question, KBS Tour 90 shafts are designed to launch the ball higher http://kbsgolfshafts.com/shafts/kbs-tour-90

Dynamic Golf shafts are designed to launch the ball low. TT Dynalite shafts have a high launch.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info.

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
