Re: New Clubs - Shafts - Help

I am in a similar predicament though I have not yet bought my clubs. I am trying to decide between Callaway x18 pro series or the new Big Bertha Fusion Irons. My driver swing speed is around 90, and I too am looking at the 99 gram uniflex. I am a 5' 8 " female currently playing Ping I3+ A flex irons that are too whippy for me. (My woods and drivers are all Callaway mens reg flex) I was fitted regular length 3 flat by ping rep Terry Graham last year, but every pro who has seen me swing thinks that that my irons are too flat, and the concensus has been that I should be in Iron.

Do you believe that standardly us 5'8"ers need to get 1/2" off, and 2 degrees flat. The Ping static fitter puts me at 1 to 2 degrees upright. I don't know if this means anything, but whenever I grip my current irons I tend to try to grip them right at the very end, as they never seem quite comfortable.

The Big Bertha Fusion Irons are a dream... Highly reccomend a test drive, but am not crazy about the look. I do however love the look of the X-18 pro series, and I am a fan of a thin topline and smaller head.

Anyhow, would love any input you may have,

Lynnore
