Right now they are sitting in an old bag with a taylormade stock ventus shaft and a broken aldila NV green from an old Callaway hybrid that I miss dearly. I may revive it

I also have found that with these shafts I am able to work the ball both ways. With my old shafts I played a small cut and found it hard to draw the ball. Since they were so light I would rush my swing and come over the top and pull one every now and again. The heavier more stable shafts seem to allow me to have more control.

I am going to go have loft and lie checked as I do not have the equipment to do so. I did not have to do any shaft trimming they were all either exact length as my old ones (I bought pulls from other Titleist irons that were standard length) I also had him measure to make sure. There were tip weights in all of the shafts, I pulled them and dry fit swing weight all of my clubs to D2 without weights which works well for me.

It is an adjustment, but is what I needed. With the lighter shafts I was able to manipulate them in ways that I should not have been. These are more stable so it allows me to be a little more consistent with direction. The main adjustment has been that the new shafts have forced me dial in my tempo which has been my main struggle for years. I could get too quick with the 100 gram shafts. So far I like the feel; however, I need some reps.

here is how my first build turned out

This will be my first build! I did find some shafts. I pulled two of my current shafts and we made sure the lengths matched. It seems like a pretty straight forward process though. I just need to go pick up a vice because I’m sure this won’t be my last time.

I have a set of 710 Ap2's from Titleist. I bought them new in 2010, and at that time my swing speed was a lot slower. They currently have KBS Tour fst shafts in them which are about 105 gram weight. I need a stiffer option as well as more weight. I am looking at DG X100 or KBS tour 130 and I would like to buy shaft pulls instead of new shafts. However, I looked on Titleist's website and found that standard length on AP2 5 iron is 38" is that shaft only or the playing length with grip and all? Also any advice on the build process would be appreciated!
