I am 73 years old ,currently 12 h with 75+ iron club head speed. My current 7i is TaylorMade m4 with Fujikura Atmos 6r flex. When i make a good swing ball fight is high trajectory, that I like. I looked at shafts from the low $ end to the high $ end and not understanding what makes the higher end shaft better than a lower. I do struggle with my m2 driver as am trying to change an over the top swing plane and open face that creates my slice. When I started the game of golf at 60 years old and made the biggest mistake of not taking lessons when I started playing golf. Now working on the damage caused by no lessons. I do have the foresight gc2 with htm golf simulator that helps a lot when practicing. I would to spend the money on different shafts to find what works best and than build from there.

I have a TaylorMade burner 24* with the TaylorMade burner super fast re ax 60 r flex that I had from the beginning of golf and is go to club as verry consistent with hitting a draw.

A newer club that I have is Ke4 19* with Tensei ck 80 hy r flex and is performing verry well.

A lot of good information there. Thanks for that. It helps, but doesn’t replace actually seeing you hit shots and discussing, etc. Still, that being said, I would tend to direct you to the TS3 iron. As far as shafts, I don’t have the specs for the Atmos 6r iron shaft and Fujikura does not list it on their web site. Assuming the weight is in the 60-69 gram range, you might look at the Fujikura Vista Pro 60 R shaft. My guess is the specs might be similar. The UST Recoil 460 ESX in the F3-R flex is high trajectory shaft that is 64 grams and might be worth a look as well. There are others and if you look on our website or in our catalog I would fined the ones in the weight range you want that also have a High or Mid/High trajectory rating.

As far as pricing differences, it is hard to understand. I will tell you that higher price does not always get you a better product or better performance. Sometimes the materials, processes are more costly and lead to some of the higher price on some shafts. Sometimes more expensive shafts will have tighter tolerances, but not always. And sometimes it’s just the brand and marketing and how the company wants to price the shaft.

Hope this helps.
