Mine weren’t old clubs, Wilson D9 forged, but the ball flight I was getting was not helping my game. The new shafts I got fitted for are not listed by any company as standard or upgraded so even buying new clubs after a fitting I would not have had optimum ball flight.

Hi all, This is more for information rather than anything else. I have a trackman driving range near me that I use quite regularly, to work on swing changes etc. but I noticed I didn’t get much height or stopping power with my irons. I usually got 20+ yards of runout with my 7 iron. I contacted a local club fitter that has been used by people I watch on YouTube and went for a fitting. After trying many different shafts, including graphite and steel I ended up going from 120g regular flex shafts to 70g stiff flex shafts and a loft adjustment of 1.5 degrees. I lost just 2 yards of carry distance but now my 7 iron stops within 7 yards. The cost of new clubs would have been a minimum of £800 and then an upgraded shaft for optimum launch etc. instead, new shafts plus loft adjustments cost £500. Just thought people might like to know about this.

Hi all, I’m Chippy, 62 and from the midlands in UK, England. I have been playing golf for over 20 years and had more injuries than I care to talk about, non of them due to golf but all of them reduced my ability to play.
