Great video and very interesting. I am sure there are numerous methods to change shafts and make adjustments but your way works just fine. It is always fun and interesting to test different shafts and grips and make repairs yourself. Its all part of the golfing experience in my view. Unfortunate that the shaft changes did not work. Cheers.

@johndarby2564 2 ай бұрын

Great video Lester and agin hit the perfect level for my golf club nerdiness! Only thought I had is that quite often the gap between 4 and 5 irons are 3 degrees, why not leave the 4 iron alone and make the gap to 5 iron 4 degrees and then weaken the 5, 6 and 7 as required - may fill the gap better, but not knowing the specs I've no idea!!

Good point on the lie angle. Mizuno “standard” is c.1* flatter than Titelist and half a degree flatter than Ping. I’ve noticed the difference probably more in swing weight as I have a set of Mizuno at 2* flat and Ping i230 Orange dot (2 flat) with the same shaft slightly different grips and they do feel different.

It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes with manufacturers. I’ll do a video on swing weight soon Sean.

Made total sense Lester! Nice of experts to comment and give extra information, but glad you pointed out that you try to do it for people on a budget, which is most people, or people who might want to try it themselves. Shame all that work didn’t pan out, but as you said you got two videos out of it and learned something as well. Now go take care of that hair! 😀

Great video Lester. Was just wondering whether you could have messed about with shaft lengths a tiny amount to close the gapping between 7 and 8 iron. You could always adjust the lie angle afterwards? Just a thought 👍

Yeah that’s not a bad idea and to be honest I didn’t think about that.

Very good video my friend, few people do videos with this degree of detail on club fitting. With regard to the hair cut, at least you still have some.

@greasby1golf871 2 ай бұрын

Might be me but is the obvious answer not to stick the VR 7 iron in & carry "2 7 irons" . Effectively the vapour 7 is the 6 in the VR set? I play cobra rf forged mb but wanted more forgiveness in 4 iron so i play the 5 from my old set as 4 ?

I could have done that I guess, although I would have had to find / buy another shaft, plus I would have to drop a club to accommodate the extra one.
