I am going out to Golf Galaxy today...to see what shafts they have. Maybe I'll just get another fitting to see I can try the shafts/weights to see if that helps with the "feel" of Reg Steel shafts. I am not completely wedded to steel for new shafts...I just want something a heavier then 70G and less torque (from 4.1). Hoping to Try: TT DG 105 Reg Modus 105G Reg SteelFiber i80 KBS Tour 110G Reg...though 110G sounds "heavy"...but as everyone recommends...try it to see how it feels. Thank again for all the replies/comments.

Thank you all for your comments!

Greetings to all. Happy 2024! I wanted to get the opinions/thoughts from the MGS community on re-shafting existing clubs. Not that I want to physically re-shaft the clubs...I need thoughts on new shafts for "my swing" profile. Since a re-shaft could cost easily cost $800-$1200 depending on Shaft including installation & new grips...I really want to hear opinions from other golfers who may have undertaken the effort/task. First off...I am 65 and have Driver SS of 92-99. My 6 iron SS range from 75-85 (depending on quality of strike). I currently have UST Mamiya Recoil SmacWrap F3 (reg) 70gram shafts. The 6i dispersion (as of my last 2 simulator sessions) shows about 6-10 Yards offline on average. I miss a lot both Left and Right on the course. I am wondering if heavier shafts w/lower Torque could improve my consistency and dispersion. I did a shaft fitting with a fitter using the Mizuno Shaft Optimizer...and the output is attached. Basically...said I am mid Tempo & mid release with a speed of 77.33. The suggestions all seemed to be stiff flex and in the 105-110G weight...which seems like a lot of weight to add to my shafts after years of swinging 70G shafts. My Main goals if to improve my dispersion numbers...and keep (or improve) my distance...but that is secondary. I seem to be in between a Reg or Stiff profile. I prefer Reg Flex, but would consider R+ flex. I am very wary of Stiff profile shafts. Questions: Is Increasing shaft weight from 70 to possibly 80+ 90+ even 105-110 Gram "Too Much" of an adjustment (either Steel or Graphite)? Or is it all dependent on "Feel" and Flight of the ball? I liked the feel of the SteelFiber i95...and the TT DG Steel 95. Simulator sessions showed my distance was about the same...dispersion really improved (especially for the Steel TTDG 95) by over 50%. SteelFiber offers a 80 gram model (85 gram wgt)....but I have not been able to swing one...only the i95 in Reg & Stiff. Have any other members reshafted from Graphite to Steel? What was your experiences with determining the right weight/flex? I have seen comments going from Steel to Graphite...but nothing on Graphite to Steel. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.
