Driving shaft weight

[Agentg006]

I currently have x stiff project x LS 125g iron shafts and I’m wanting to add a 2° iron to my bag. What weight of shaft should I get with the 2° iron?

You should really hit the club to see what works best, but it we go by general convention it could be in the 85-105gr range.  Since it is most likely the next club after 3/4 fairway wood look at maybe 10-20 grams heavier.

That’s true about going to hit it. I could swing by Golf Galaxy and see if they have the shafts I’m interested in. Thought about using the same steel shaft that I have in my irons but interested in graphite also. Srixon has the UST recoil 95g available and also the aerotech i110 cw but it has a 3 week lead time. Just don’t know at this point. Thanks for the advice.

Agree with cnosil. But also consider profile of the shaft as well. Lighter and softer stiffness profile may work for some but not all. Some may be able to use same shaft and weight.

Too many variables including feel to suggest what to do

Some people like to go a little lighter and softer in long irons to help get them in the air. But often I pull a long iron specifically to keep the ball down, in which case I prefer something stiffer (or at least with a higher bend point).
