Thanks for the reply. You have two Pack deals offered for the TC MAX -- one with Malby UL shaft and one with Kuro Kage HBP. Which set up do you think would result in higher club head speed and distance...

any suggestions on these 7 iron numbers?

Your shot data do not seem to vary much from shaft to shaft.  3 balls per head is not very many but, on the other hand, the shot results seem fairly consistent.  The 4 degree of club loft difference...

6’7 clubs recommendation

A Golf Works set of clubs with longer shafts will not cost you any extra money.  At your height, you may need shafts that are 1/2" to 1.5" longer than standard.  You would need to take an accurate wrist...

Cutting std length shafts to suit one length irons ?

Several things.  You need specific one length iron heads, as all the heads need to be the same weight.  If you tried to use a regular set of irons heads, any advantage of equal shaft length would be...

If my steel shafts are 1.5″ longer than normal, should they be 2.5″ longer if I use graphite shafts?

Shaft length should be a function of your wrist to floor measurement.  If your current shafts are 1.5 inches longer than standard (there is not really a true standard), then you must be rather tall or...

KE4-S vs KE4 Tour vs STi2 for high handicapper

I would also suggest the STi2 over the KE4-s and remove the Tour from your consideration set.  I also recommend you look at a set of KE4-MP-1 if you want to make the game easier and your score lower: ...

Need a head comparison between STi2 & TS-2

I am a mid-handicapper and have a set of TS-2 with KBS C-taper Lite shafts.  They are terrific heads, as good as any OEM.  If you can afford them, I would encourage you to get them.  If you do not want...

How best to add weight to iron heads?

Lead tape can be perceived as quite ugly by some, including myself, but it is certainly the easiest to get right in terms of swing weight. Tip weights would be the next choice.  Third choice would be...

Snake eyes 600 XC

Yup, .370, as I used to own some.  They were decent irons in their day.  At this point I would say step up to some TS-2 heads.

Switching shafts to graphite from steel.

Be mindful of the swingweight change you will likely encounter if you are going to a much lighter shaft.  In most cases when going from steel to graphite you will need to add some weight at the tip, go...

I have played many cast and forged clubs over 20 years.  My set of TS-2s have as good a feel as any clubs I have hit.  Pure shots feel fantastic, and off center shots do not provide the nasty feedback...

Steel to Graphite

A flex?  If your driver speed is 91 mph it is likely you would not want to play an A flex.  If your driver shaft is marked SR that means it is between a stiif and regular, or R+ as some might call it.
