Hi!
My index is 14 and I currently game the Wilson D7 Forged in the stock $ Taper Lite S 100. My dispersion is all over the place, mostly short/left and right. A frequent miss with my long irons is out off the toe and results in a loss of distance and overdraw/hook. A well struck iron shot usually results in a high ball flight, maybe a tad too high because I feel that it dies in the breeze. Launch monitor sessions have never indicated that I am a high-spin player though, with irons or driver. I honestly think that hitting off a mat just doesn’t give an accurate representation of what I experience out on the course. I am working with a coach to improve fundamentals, but again these sessions are on a driving range mat where I stripe the ball much more often.
I track my performance with ShotScope and attached a sample of my approach game for my 6, 7 & 9 irons. Short left with 6, short right with 7 & 9.
I am interested in self-testing with Maltby heads and various shafts. Based on the above, can you suggest some heads and shafts (specific shafts or shaft profiles/flexes) that might be good starting points for testing against my current gamers?
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks for this response! Totally agree that fittings should be conducted off of real grass.
My 150 yard club is 7. According to ShotScope this season my 7i “playing average” is exactly 150yds.
I am not sure what my 7i swing speed is, but I had a driver fitting session in February and my ss averaged 97mph.
I think I will try the TS-2 with a couple of different R flex shafts of varying weights. If you think there are particular shafts that pair well with the TS-2, I’d love to know!
Thanks again.
