I am concerned about the different things I have heard regarding the flex of this shaft. Some have said that it plays a 1/2 flex firmer than what it is cut at. I have normally played stiff shafts in my irons. Currently play Nippon 1050gh stiff and I like the ball flight. Although I have also hit the TT XP 115 in S300 and liked the feel of those. Depending on the loft of the iron and the shot at hand, but generally I hit my 8 iron 150-160. My swing speed with a 6 iron has generally been anywhere from the low 80’s to the upper 80’s depending on how warm I am. Can you advise if I am over thinking this or should I just go with the stiff flex, or firm flex in the Score LT. One last thing to add, my swing pattern is more of a driver or steeper attack at the ball. I punch down and compress the ball pretty well. I haven’t had much luck with the feeling of Project X shafts or the heavier strong shafts. Years ago I used to play DG S300, but they are just too heavy these days.
Thanks a bunch.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I think that does help. I am not a high ball hitter, never have been. A mid or mid/high ball flight is what I am after. I believe that I am getting that with what I am playing right now, Nippon 1050 stiff, but at times the shaft feels oddly balanced or something and I don’t think that I load it properly on a consistent basis although I do get some pretty fair results. If the Score LT has a similar ball flight, it just may be the ticket as I think generally TT shafts have a low or middle balance point (correct me if wrong) and Nippons generally have a higher balance point. For some, including myself, I think this matters during the swing, and most importantly the transition.
