This tuesday I'm getting fitted for new irons before I start my junior year of college golf. I'm playing the TaylorMade R7 TP right now. I like how they are workable, but still relatively forgiving for a players iron.

I think that the S58 would be easier to hit and a little more forgiving than the 695cb. Or am I wrong. Would I be able to make a smooth transition from the R7 to the 695cb, which is the iron I really want to play.

Any help would be great.

I work at a golf club fitting place that fits Titleist and Ping clubs and I think the S58s would be a better fit for you. Personally, I have hit both irons and I think that the 695cbs are a little awkward but the S58s are a good blend of workability and forgiveness. If I am fitting someone for irons, I would only recommend Titleist blades. Also, I have yet to find someone that dislikes the S58s.

In my Moon Light bag:

Driver: 440 SZ 9.0* with a Grafalloy Blue stiff shaft
Hybrids: Halo 16* with a Aldila NV stiff shaft
Irons: forged blades with Dynamic Gold S300 shaftsWedges: Tom Watson 52*, 56*, 60*Putter: G5i Tess Ball: Z-URC

which one has the lower launch, or will going to an x-stiff shaft improve problem of a high ball flight

    • I think I remember reading that Wilco Nienaber broke some record for having the fastest hands at around 27mph. His clubhead speed is probably of the order of 130mph or so, so that's roughly 5 times as fast. As Erik said, the math gets very complicated - it's at least a double pendulum system, but also with the "fixed" point moving and all the forces and torques applying to the club and the hands and the rest of the player start to get very complicated. My coach works with a biomechanist and between them they've put out a few books on the physics of the swing and it's hella complicated, but fascinating.
    • Well, it was four years ago, but… yeah.
    • It's still moving, but it's not very fast (which "almost" might cover), and it begins slowing down around P5.5 to P6 in most good players, for a bunch of reasons. The math gets pretty complex pretty fast seeing as how we have two hands, the club is acting on them while we're acting on the club, etc.
    • I was talking to a buddy of mine and he said he stock a GPS tag in his golf bag. Seems like it might be a good idea. What do you all think? Have any of you put one in there?       
    • I am six and a half minutes into this video and honestly don't think I can handle any more of it. I do see some of my swing in his - sucks it inside and gets across the line at the top. He also looks like he comes OTT a little, but is then very in to out. That's probably my cluelessness about the swing showing up though. Did I hear him say he's 15* in to out? That's insane and not something I would think anyone would want to do. I'm surprised he put this out there if his goal is to sell his method to other people, you'd think he'd find someone good who uses it to model it, not himself.
