I have a 27 handicap and my swing speed is 80-85 mph with the driver. I'm looking for some quality steel shafts of good quality, not any old crap like i have now, but they should fit what little game i have. What do you think i should go with?

(p.s. i'm getting new irons too, but they are coming with shafts that i do not want)

my guess is youll want something that doesnt kick too hard and launches high and soft. I'd look at something like the Dynamic Gold GS-75, or even DG Superlight. Both are fairly cheap quality shafts that should fit your game. A low frequency rifle, like the rifle flighted, maybe in something like 5.0. Just steer clear of anything like Project X, Dynamic Gold (everyone plays it, but it really doesnt fit the vast majority of us), Black Gold, or anything really heavy. Good luck

any offerings from any companies besides Royal Precision and True Temper?

Nippon shaft. Amazing quality, Royal Precision price. Nippon makes shafts from 75 grams (superlight for steel) up to 115 grams, (medium weight). They are just great quality, their flexes are right on the money, their weights are accurate. You will see more and more of these in clubs. Titeist offers them, so does Callaway, Nickent, Mizuno, Srixon, Bridgestone and a host of others.

Driver- Geek Dot Com This! 12 degree Matrix Ozik Xcon 6 Stiff
Adams Tour Issue 4350 Dual Can Matrix Ozik Xcon 5

Hybrids- Srixon 18 deg

One of the major designers of Rifle went to FST after TT/Rifle merged. I hear they're making some good products now, http://www.fstshafts.com/

Also Aerotech have steel fibre shafts (instead of shafts being extruded steel fibres are wound until they produce a complete shaft), http://www.aerotechgolfshafts.com/ They're supposedly also very good even even though they seem to have problems with consistency, http://www.golftodaymagazine.com/view.php?I=133

Nippon shaft. Amazing quality, Royal Precision price.

I couldn't agree more. Nippon Shaft is very popular in Japan and all the surrounding countries. I have NS Pro 950GH shafts installed on both of my irons sets (Fusion & MP-60) and they felt great.

What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
