Judging from the picture, and the amount of ball marks high on the face and on the crown, you might be hitting a little too steep, and making hard contact with the ground.

Perhaps swinging out of your shoes to achieve a 104 mph swing speed with a 5 iron is causing your inability to control the direction of your shots.

You need to send them to a plating shop, to have the chrome chemically removed. It's really not a "do it yourself" project.

I'm not a professional fitter, but I'll add my 2 cents. I would seriously consider trying those clubs with an R flex shaft. I'm a few years older than you, in the same boat for SS not getting any faster, and plated S flex until 3 weeks ago. The fitter told me I "fit" into either R or S. After much thought, and taking a realistic look at the facts, I'm not getting any younger, I chose to buy G15s with regular flex. After 2 rounds, it was a good decision. I can load these shafts properly, and I don't feel that I need to go after them so hard to get a solid shot. The numbers are important, but to me, it's all about what feels right.

Have any of you guys heard the phrase "You're not good enough to get that mad"??

I prefer GI avocados

If your drives never get more than 7 feet off the ground, you likely need some adjustments made to your swing. Get that in order, then you can be properly fit to a driver.

Keep the clubs, replace the "friends"

This whole thread reeks of BS

I was taught , if you can't say something nice, say nothing, so......NOTHING

Just wondering, how did you play clubs with shafts several flexes too stiff for 18 months and not notice anything wrong?

Where I come from, whether or not you're "good" is judged by the scores you post, not by swing speed on a simulator.

For a good quality stand bag with 14 full length dividers, and ample storage, your choices are limited to Titleist, Sun Mountain, and maybe Ogio. But all are in the $200 range. You may be able to save a little on Ebay, but with quality golf bags, you get what you pay for...

Modifying your clubs to mask a swing fault insures that fault will never be fixed.

If you are really a 0.6, I wouldn't change irons, I would work on the woods and hybrids you say you can't hit.
