I am a lefty and used Club Champion here in Birmingham, AL and what I liked is they use a 6 iron. In my humble opinion, if I can hit your hardest to hit irons which long irons the rest of the bag can usually come together. I would also stay away from 7 irons because the club manufactures know this is the testing club and are really jacking around that club’s basic design. A different approach to demoing is buy single irons off eBay from a reputable seller. Make sure the seller tells you all specs before buying. Also if you know some of the basics of club fitting or some of your own specs can help with this process. I believe Club Champion club fitting can be $300+ for a full bag fitting and that kind of money can buy several single irons to test as long as you like. Also most golf shops will be happy to confirm the specs of the test clubs for free and if a lie or loft adjustment is needed they’ve adjusted it for free for me.

I actually found an article saying the Kuro Kage model was used for Ping Tour shafts and according golfworks trim guide it said remove 3/4”.

How much should I trim from the tip of a Ping tour 65 wood shaft to make it a 5 wood?

How much do I need to trim to make areotech I95 regular into stiff?

How do you hard step .370 graphite irons shafts? I assume you take 5 iron shaft and put in the 4 iron shaft. My real question is how do you hard step the approach wedge if it’s the last shaft in the iron set?

Well I got the likes I needed and appreciate the advice. Funny enough asking this question is all I needed to do to get there.....

Thanks!!!

Yes I posted there and I guess my setup may not be all that interesting....haha

I really want to give graphite a chance in my irons. After reading this topic and the podcast I convinced myself Sub70 is the best group to work with on this experiment. Since I am a lefty I order the 699s with Aerotech I70 Stiff flex since I currently play TT AMT Black Regular flex shafts. Also I am at an odd swing speed in my life right now where I am at the borderline of a stiff or regular flex shaft. Since I’m in Alabama and like to walk during the hottest time of the year regular flex steel shafts I feel get me over the hump on 14 - 18. Especially if I decide to play an E9. Therefore I think going with a lighter weight shaft with with a stiff profile is the best approach to get the additional performance I am hoping for with graphite. Any feedback or opinions to my line of thinking would be appreciated.

Curious how long it took some of you guys to become full members? I’ve posted on the forum several time but can’t really figure out what topics gets “likes”. Feedback or good advice would be appreciated!!!

This is exactly the feedback I was looking to get. Did you get the I80s in Stiff or Regular.

I hate being left handed because trying find something old school like that is in half way decent shape is very limited on eBay.

Curious what you guys opinions were on my current gamers iron shaft TT AMT Black regular flex in T200 vs Sub 70 699 with Aerotech Steel Fiber I70 stiff flex I just order? In my opinion going with the stiff flex in the graphite light weight shafts will match up closer to the heavier regular flex steel shafts in my gamer irons.

It doesn’t launch like it use to according to the new specs.

I am looking for options similar to Prolaunch Red in .355 for my 3 wood. I’ve been playing Adams A3 OS hybrid from 2007 and completely bombing the club with that shaft.
