Since we're tossing opinions here, one more can't hurt. This topic is timely as I have been wondering whether softer shafts and/or GI irons would benefit me. I'm 62, carry an 8 hcp and have had 2 iron fittings in the past 45 days. Both OEM reps fit me in stiff and both said regular wouldn't really benefit me, at least at this point in life. So IMHO the wrong thing to do is to select a shaft or an iron design based on handicap, or exclude a shaft / club based on handicap. There are more important factors involved. ChuckZ's post above covers those bases pretty well. With the costs of equipment today you better be playing something that you like.

Perfect timing. I'm looking for a 3-wood right now. Joe / San Antonio Texas I am definitely right handed. Would love to test the 3-wood in stiff and the 70 gm shaft 7 Handicap I play a three iron and a 4 hybrid (stupid I know) Thanks

What an awesome opportunity to compare the best. It would be an honor to test the TSi3 9.5* this fall and winter. Joe. San Antonio, Texas Callaway Mavrik 9* Handicap 7 Swing Speed: 97 - 100
