I went to the range this morning before work just to hit a few wedges for no reason except to just hit a few balls to kill time. As I was on the range, there was an older member or a VET hitting his 5 irons some 100m which was cool. I hit about 20 wedges and thought, what the heck, I will hit a few 5 irons. I only had my wedge with me so I started to hit this 5 iron and his 5 wood. The shafts in them were graphite and like a slinky stick. I slowed down my swing and was flushing them. If anything. I hit a few snappers with the 5 iron/5 wood but I slowed my swing down so much and the balls went straight with a small draw. If anything, it was cool to concentrate on slowing down the swing and I had to adjust my leg action. It was cool, I did not hit the ball as far (5 iron about 150m with a senior flex). However, I had a nice ball flight with a senior flex taking into account I was swinging the club so easy and waiting for the club to arrive at it’s ETA.
I was hitting the 5 wood between the 180-200m range and as it was a 17 deg one. That is my 2 iron distance but the 5 wood had a better flight? I am changing my 2 iron for a 5 wood I reckon. I love my 2 iron but it is dead.

not too surprised about it though….

TIM28,

There is an example of “gee that works”. Don’t do anything until you learn these lessons. There are at least 5 lessons.

Every one should do this. Any HG man can show you the full range of shafts for your education. Usually no charge.

HG man?

His wife doesn’t play with them:)

HG man?

Any good pro with more than one shaft to sell.
