发帖数: 165 | 1 Use a friend's old iron set a few months ago. It has a very soft graphite
shaft of the F wedge. I kept hitting the F wedge about 100 yards, when I
usually hit my 60 deg wedge 85 yards.
As I try to swing easier it actually went further costing me several very
upseting strokes, reason is as I swing easier the direction became dead
accurate but air-mail the green a couple of times.
It got me thinking why don't I change the entire set to soft graphite shafts
and swing easy so I get the combination of improved accurracy and distance.
I am using a set of stiff graphite shafts and hit my 7 iron ~155 yds.
Any advice or observation, before I go spend the money and change out the
shafts. |

say in this way, at your current level (actually, it fits many of us),
softer/lighter drivers help your game. (why? I have not thought it through,
even though my ex-instructor explained it to me.)
when you get better, you will realize your ball won't go any further. You
could lose your distance. You could hit ball higher tho. Now it's the time
that you need to change a stiffer shaft.

the ultimate solution should still stick to steel shaft regular or stiff
flex.

发帖数: 517 | 5 Softer shaft does get you more distance. It applies to almost anyone on
straight shots. However, if you hit flush and the ball consistently hooks,
it is likely that your swing speed goes up and the soft shaft comes back too
much and close the club face prior to impact; that's the time you want to
think about a stiffer shaft. |

发帖数: 165 | 7 Thanks for the responses.
My comfort swing for more accurate iron shots is at at 80% max speed. At
this speed I now believe I should use softer shaft.
Hopefully better for my chronically painful elbow too. |
