Getting older and weaker. Was lucky to obtain a brand new iron set of 850 nippon regular” iron shafts. I got three iron sets all “stiff”. 825 Mizunos, Wilson FG62 blades, and Mizuno MP 57’s. I hit the Wilson blades the best. Hdcp 15 and I don’t hit it far. 5 iron: 160 yds. I want to use the iron heads from one of theses sets on the 850’s. Got any ideas?

I am MUCH older and fighting weakness due to RA and rotator cuff problems Anyway, I put the Nippon shafts in my forged MX-200 irons. The lighter shafts gave me a little speed that helped. Can't tell you WHICH set to re-shaft (I'm now using graphite), but you will be pleased with the shaft. I would suggest however you put them in the iron you feel most confident with. Best wishes, -Marv

Aloha Marv, this helps and your response is appreciated. I’m sold on reshafting the Wilson FG62s. Thank you.

You're welcome. My fitter who installed them for me said Nippon makes the most consistent steel shafts and that they are easier to fine tune, spine align, frequency tune, etc. than others. Good luck! Best, -Marv
