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

DRIVER: Cleveland 588 Altitude ( Matrix Radix Sv Graphite, A) IRONS: Mizuno JPX-800 HD Irons & 3,4,5 JPX Fli-Hi (Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue Graphite, R); WEDGES: (Carried as needed) Artisan Golf 46, 50, 53, 56 low bounce, 56 high bounce; PUTTER: Mizuno TP Mills 9

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

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
