I am thinking of soft stepping my KBS 80 regular shafts in my Taylor Made R9 irons from the 5 down to the 7 thru the set. Is there an issue reusing the shafts in this manner. I am older and have had back fusions, I think this would help. This is an effort to see how it would work out length wise and flex.
You can soft shaft, or step, by putting the 5 iron shaft in the 6 iron head, etc. You would just need a 4 iron shaft for the 5 iron, assuming you don’t have one. That will make the shafts play approximately 1/3 of a flex softer, assuming the head weights progress in 7 gram increments, which is what they usually or should do. If you put the 5 iron shaft in the 7 iron head, it will soften by 2/3 of a flex. No reason why you couldn’t try it. Yo will just need to replace the shaft(s) in the longest iron(s) depending on where you start from.

Thanks. I think I will try the double step down. The shafts are S300, so it will get them closer to a Reg flex.
