My angle of attack on the 7i is -2 degrees, with a 80mph swing speed. Would the TS1, TS3, or TS4 fit this swing style better? I’ve heard weaker loft and thinner sole is the way to go, but would love some advice here.
The Score LT is a really good shaft that falls right on the averages for Flex once trimmed. Difficult to compare to others unless they are also 41″ combination flex blanks to start. I doubt that any shafts yo may encounter while being fit will have started as R/S combination flexes. I only say this because most places doing the fitting use fitting carts from OEM’s and they will be using whatever shaft(s) they offer. I would say the Dynamic Gold 105 or the KBS Tour Lite would be in the ball park. They are both a little lighter, but not much. The Dynamic Gold 105 firmer in the tip section. The KBS Tour Lite is overall a little more flexible in profile than the Score LT, but not by much.
Again, difficult to compare because raw lengths are not the same and I don’t have trimmed profiles, but there is a couple that should be somewhat comparable.

I wanted to stop by and say thank you, Britt! I placed an order for TS4s yesterday.
I went and got fitted for a shaft and loved the Modus 3 120X, so I went with that shaft. Can’t wait to receive the clubs and take them to the range.
I think you could play any of the three you listed. The TS3 had a slightly wider sole and some might say shallow attack angles need narrower, but there is not enough difference in these that that is a factor, in my opinion. I wouldn’t consider weaker lofts unless you have a real issue getting the ball up. I know and have worked with plenty of shallow angle players that hit it high enough, and most like keeping it down anyway. I’m neutral to shallow and play the TS4’s and they are the best iron I have ever played. I could play the TS1-IM or the TS3’s as well with no worry. Consider what you like to look at and if it is more of a traditional blade profile, the TS1-IM or the TS4, or the original TS1, would be the ones to consider. The TS3 is a an awesome club as well, but has a slightly thicker topline and sole, but still considered a Players cavity design.

Thanks, Britt! I do love the look of the TS4s, but I did see the TS1-IM have a slightly stronger loft and narrower sole, although the difference there does look negligible.
I don’t really have an issue getting the ball up in the air, and my miss on my swing plan is fat, so the TS1-IMs is the way to go.
One final question before I get a set of of TS1-IMs. What is the bend profile of the standard SCORE shafts, and what would be the most comparable widely available shaft on the market? I’m going to get fitted for a shaft soon and would like to know if the SCORE compares to shafts I end up liking.
I’m shallow and get a long well with TS1 im
