there are some valuable good point sin the postings above.....
I used to play a set of Golfsmith Forged Blades which were fitted to me back in the 90s with Apollo Seamless stiff shafts on it. In fact the been a bit harder then stiff due to the recommendation of my clubfitter who used to play with me once a week so he knew how I was hacking at the ball.......
The shafts became rusted over the time, thus the blades still felt great, however, the clubfitter is not in business anymore and my local pro does not due any fitting at all - I became willing to swap the clubs out of the bag and thats when the journey started and I went nuts on ebay:
Wilson Deep Red Tour Irons - R300 Shaft 2° up and +1inch -too soft, swingweight felt heavy
Wilson FG 51 Combo set with S300 standard, great feel in general swingweight feels way to light - pro guesses D0
Then I went for Clevelands, and I felt in love with the irons: CG1 Black perl, R300 shaft in there, feels a bit whippy, alot of hooks caused.
So I went for another set of Tour Actions Blades to re use the shafts in my CG1s, thus after I had the second range session I thought: Wow, this is what u want to play and in fact, they are still not that worn out and I beleive I can give them another 5 years easily. BTW they have Rifle Shafts on it, seamless, 6.0.
In absense of a GSEM reachable within an hour or so, I went to my local Pro for a session and as he swang my club he said there is no way for you to handle this, way too hard.
Ok after some words forth and back I went with his old set of TM R9 TP fitted with the KBS TOUR shafts in Stiff.
The shafts feel not too bad, thus the clubhead looks awkward to somebody how used to play blades.
I would like to sort this frantic issue out before I keep on changing during the season.
I am a former hockeyplayer (semipro), 6 ft tall with 240pounds of weight, muscles: more then useful (or enough) flexibility still ok, used to hit my 7 iron around 150yards with control.
At the moment I have only access to my speedstik to "measure" soem kind of swingspeed where I can max it at 105mph.
Could somebody even try to either recommend me to the one or other: a) go with the heavy kbs shafts and get used to the clumpy look of the TMs or b) go with the Clevelands and keep on bending the Rifle shaft.
For 2 weeks now I am with the TMs and they still look kind of ugly but I got used to the heavy feel overall and I think I am improving, though I think the trajectory with the blades was reasonably higher and further.
