Switching from steel to graphite shafts in my AP2 714 irons

Bonjour Gregory,

I am 51 years old, my game is between 76-85, drive 230-250. Last year an elbow problem started on my iron (i played TM CGB max, reg steel), and i decide to go on graphite on my iron. Because i am from the north (Quebec city) and i was playing last march at Myrtle. i didn't have facility to do a fitting session (this is a must). So i guessed, and change my improve game iron to AP2 714 with Recoil prototype 95 F4. It took at least 20 games to get use to AP2 (because they are close to blade), and for the shaft....WOW, elbow vibration gone for ever (my main concern). The feel is great, even on missed shot, but on a Titleist DEMO day at my club i had the chance to tried a Steelfiber (reg) on 6 iron, and again WOW.

So if your main concern is the elbow, for sure graphite will take care of it. If your main concern is scoring, go for the steelfiber, my reason is DISPERSION. The recoil proto is fine, but when i was hitting the steelfiber i saw more precision. The flight was about the same. And for the elbow, well...steelfiber is really better than steel, but is slightly more "hard" on the elbow than the recoil prototype.

For your medium trajectory and slight fade, i think both shaft will do the job. For sure steelfiber on reg will be fine, on recoil, you should try F3 and F4.

I have to finish on $, well both shaft are pretty expensive. You also have a version of recoil cheaper with less torque than prototype (see the UST website for detail)

Hope this help.

Appreciate the information. Any suggestions for a person with a moderate late release? Also how will the swing weight be affected? What kind of time frame and cost would be associated with having Titelist take care of this?

Thank You,

Greg Olson

Greg,

The lowest launching graphite options that we offer, which would be similar in launch to the Dynamic Gold S300, would be the Aerotech Steelfiber shafts and the Aldila NV 105.
