Shaft Fitting for iBlades

[adamflowers]

Has anyone ever done just a shaft fitting? I enjoy my current iBlades, but the stock DG S300's aren't doing me any favors. With the cost of the fitting, installation, shafts, and grips, do you think that a shaft fitting would be beneficial, or would you recommend splurging on a full-on iron fitting? Thanks!

100% it would be beneficial. Irons are a very important aspect to scoring well. DG has been a staple for many years, but there are so many other profiles that may better suit your swing. Always best to have a professional give you some insight.

Depending on the shafts you get fit into, by the time you're done with shafts, grips and installation you'd be looking at around $600. 

You'd be better off doing a full iron fitting, selling your current irons and buying a new set built to your specs 

Also, I believe iblades are scheduled to be replaced later this year.

I have done just an iron fitting before. I purchased my AP3 off the rack after a demo day testing. The guy at the PGA store since I was new to golf told me to get a R flex. Did not watch me hit balls or anything I just kinda new what I wanted. After 3 months I went to a shop who knew what they were doing. I tested about 8 shafts before he recommended the modus 120 X. It changes my game. Not only did I hit the ball further but more consistently. After owning those when I went late last year for an update I did a full iron fitting and settled on the t-100. I took my modus out of the ap3 and installed them in the t-100 and swapped the amt white into my ap3... you can find sets of pulls like it did for $150 and iron labor is not difficult I did the work my self... grips I learned how to take off with an air compressor so I saved my self a ton of money. For me shaft was the issue but if your going to go and lay for a fitting try other heads a lot of new technology is out there and a head you like is far more important than a shaft... s300 are 20 plus year old technology and you could be missing out though since the shaft will influence your delivery...

as far as the other person said ping did trade mark iBlade 2.0 but with the pandemic who knows what’s going to happen... good luck

I agree, swapping iron shafts is a pretty shallow learning curve, and maybe a fun golf project if your locals are closed now. 

If you don't have a compressor, Golf Works has a grip removal tool for ~$20.
