  1. Thanks dude. This is exactly what I needed to know. So an average of $120 or so for labour, plus the shafts and grips. So I'm looking at spending minimum 300 anyways for reshafting, where as I could simply buy a nice used set for less and then just get those clubs fitted? Thanks all for the help! I'll elaborate on my dilema. I got the clubs from my dad who has the polar opposite swing from me. He tends to hit a nice draw, and when he miss hits it(rare, lol), he hits a nasty pull left. Always left. He reshafted the kobras with IQ HUMPS, stiff, .380 bore, as he felt these would help his pull being stiff and all. He then gave them to me.... My problem is, I have always had a fade. When I hit a nice shot it goes high and trails off a little to the right, when I miss it its always always always right. Always. Honestly I have played about 8 rounds of golf so far this year and I have yet to miss a green left. I aim way left, I dare the ball to go left, it never does. It either sticks the green or hits it and rolls over right. My chipping is incredible because I miss so many greens. Lol. A great golfer recently told me that the clubs I have are very nice for my skill level and swing, however the shafts are almost certainly working against me since I hit a fade. However with my 7 wood and 5 wood I hit it STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. My best club in my bag is a SC PRO ( $15 adams tight lies nockoff) with a regular flex. this club will NOT FADE. I have TRIED to purposely fade this club on the range and it will NOT fade, yet with my irons I cant help but trail to the right. He says its not a conincidence that my best two clubs are regular flex. So this is what propelled me to do research on shafts and what not. I have come to the conclusion, since the clubs are over 10 years old and the grooves are worn waaaaaay down, new irons are more cost effective than new shafts. Thanks again for the help.
  2. touche. I want to hit the ball STRAIGHT. I don't care how far it goes, as distance and getting the ball up into the air is not a problem for me. I don't mind losing a few yards for more consistent shot. and yes, I realize lessons will help me more than any new equiptment, which is why I am taking some this year :)
  3. I'll try to keep this brief. I want to upgrade my irons. Right now I'm playing old King Kobra IIs which in my oppinion are a great club for me(12 handicap). However they were handed down to me. They have a stiff graphite shaft. I have a fairly low swing speed. I prefer the feel of my 7 wood and 5 wood both of which have regular flex shafts. graman 310 and voodoo respectively. A lot of people are telling me to scrap the irons and just get a new set but that means I'm spending minimum $600 for any set of clubs I would consider an upgrade, and like I said before I really do like my irons they simply don't fit me perfectly as they were handed down. Basically my question is, how much is this work going to cost me and is it worth it, or should I simply just get a new set and get them fitted for me? Cliffs: reshaft/regrip and get fitted for my current king kobra IIs or spend money on a new set of irons? if so which ones assuming I like sleek classy simple etc. no blades. thx
