Good morning,

I’m looking for a little guidance. The Golfwrx thread started by Popeye has been very helpful but it has fueled my indecision.

I am looking for one more recommendation before I pull the trigger on a full set.  Any insights one can share is greatly appreciated.

Currently, I play PX LZ 6.0s. I have played these types of shafts for years. However, as I have gotten older they are taking a toll on my elbows and I have to work a little harder to maximize them-this is causing me to get a little quicker with my transition and thus over-swing.

I’ve built out a couple PW test clubs to try to find an affordable graphite iron shaft:

TS3 with mpf+ stiff shaft:

Pros: affordable. Seems pretty stable.

Cons: Launches a touch higher than I’m used to. Shaft is much lighter (40ish grams) than what I have ever played.
Possibility: build the xs shafts but soft step them. This will make them play closer to my current setup—but still much lighter.

TS1M with Recoil 105 stiff shaft.

Pros: weight is only 20 grams less. Launches in my window.

Cons: expensive

I am also considering buying blind the Aldila NV iron shafts. The stiff shafts come in at 95 grams and are a good 10 grams heavier than the mpf+ shafts.

I have settled on TS1M heads. So, that’s at least settled. I don’t want to drop another $100+ to try out another shaft since I’ve already invested $200+ in this endeavor.

To help with any suggestions, here is a little more info:

1. I fluctuate between a 1-3.5 index. Ball striking and distance control are my strengths. My driver destroys my rounds.
2. 7i swing speed is 92-94 mph.
3. Driver ss varies between 104-112 depending on weather and how my body is feeling.

4. 51 yo and not getting any younger.

Thank you for your insights and suggestions.
