Driver swing speed is 105mph which shaft?

Question

I was wondering what shaft you would recomend for irons. I am currently using stiff steel in an older set of Titleist. very accurate but I loose distance compared to the distance when trying a friends Callaways and Taylormade. I am seeing 15 to 20 yards more out of the newer irons with a wedge.

Answer 1

For 105 clubhead speed the stiff sounds right for you.  The newer clubs will go a little further due to technology, but don't worry about distance - golf isn't about how far you can hit the ball, it's about how many times you hit it.

Answer 2

For graphite shafts, Try either the:

Dynamic Gold Black S

or

Rifle Project X 5.5 or 6.0

For Steel Shafts, Try either the:

Dynamic Golf S300, S200

or

Rifle 5.5 or 6.0

These are the most popular shafts out for irons right now, or at least for the better players.

Answer 3

Really the best way to find out is to get fitted , then they can tell you the correct shaft , with your swing speed you will probably be recommended some type of stiff or extra stiff steel shaft , but then you also need to take into account what type of trajectory you want on your shot as well , just curious what type of Titleist Irons are you playing , remember that some iron models do not have the same degrees as other models that might be the reason you see the difference in distance with your friends .

Answer 4

If you swing 105, you need stiff shafts. The best steel shaft for you would probably be S300. You are probably getting more distance from your friends' wedge b/c of the advanced technology his clubs have and yours don't b/c they are older.
