Your 6 Iron swing speed & the shaft you play....
Hi folksJust curious really but wondered if those of you who have been fitted or on a trackman and know your 6 iron swing speed would mind sharing which shaft you use?
I have been having trouble with my current set up and after a couple of fittings have had wildly differing shaft recommendations!
I got fitted earlier this year. The Mizuno swing DNA measured me at low 70's with 75 my quickest of the day.
Shafts recommended were:
ProjectX 5.0 flighted
True Temper dynalite R300
Nippon 950
What did I have fitted into my clubs....... True Tempur Dynamic Gold R300.
While the shafts recommendations took into account key factors like tempo, release factor, swing speed etc, the selections were no good for my swing.
I know from previous experience, and hitting the shafts during my fitting, that light weight shafts do not suit me. They have always given me a high ball flight and, even at my swing speed, too much spin. The ball literally goes up, but not forward.
With the R300 shaft I get a mid flight, but a flight that Is penetrating with less spin.
Moral of the story: Dont try and fit yourself a shaft based on swing speed only. Let the ball flight and distance you get make the decision for you.
