Iron Shaft Question

[triniexr]

Hey All,

I'm thinking about getting new iron shafts. I've seen graphite has come a long way and was wondering if anyone had an opinion or review on the FUJIKURA MCI 100 S vs Project X PXI. I did a search on Google and didn't come up with much.

Never tried the Fujis. The PXi is smooth feeling but isn't graphite. It's a stepless, painted steel that weighs 113 grams.

Steelfibers are the only way to go, been 3 years now and would never change to anything else

Steelfibers are nice if you like a firmer, boardier feeling shaft (in my opinion they feel that way but I've only tried the i110 CW). I prefer the feel of Recoil 95s, if the OP wants something right around 100g.

MCI's are absolutely unreal. I was hitting them at MG in january, not as harsh as the steelfibres, and better dispersion than the recoils 110s I currently play, with that same soft feel. FWIW, I was fit into 95g stiff that would be built up to xstiff.

Only downside is the $130/shaft cost... If price is a concern I would go with the recoils.

Are these still for generally older folk? I placed an order for a complete set of the MCI's in 102 gram weight. I really love the feel of my hybrids so I am trying to mimic that with the irons now.

As far as graphite goes Recoil, MCI, and Project X LZ tour graphite, and also Accra Tour and CWT are all nice options. I've played them all except MCI but I have tested them.

Yes in most cases graphite tends to be more expensive but there are some OEM's that offer some versions for little or no up-charge. But for those looking for "tour" weight shafts there is often a bit of a higher cost.

For those wondering about how stable graphite shafts are, there is a great detailed write up by a member on GolfWRX on his recent switch and testing and he's a plus handicap with a tour level swing speed.

Absolutely not. I was 27 when I switched in to graphite, and I can say I don't think I will ever go back. Now that they are being built to steel weights and bend profiles, why wouldn't you give them a go? And I love how much easier they are on my my wrist vs steel (old kitchen injury).

I've been playing Accra I Series for a number of years now in my irons and wedges. Went from C-Tapers to Accra and I'm thrilled.

I play Steelfiber i110 CW and am a big fan. Just something I thought I'd try and they've been in the bag for over 3 years now. No reason to try anything else. Great feel; not boardy.

I get the shafts today! Now I need to find someone to install them.

I went and saw TLT Dan on Friday... He is going to install the MCI shafts in my clubs. I get them back today and will update everyone on how they feel.

I got my clubs back from TLT Dan. He did a very good job installing the Fujikura MCI 100 S in my Titleist AP2 716 irons. I am very impressed with the irons now. Trajectory for me at the moment is a bit high but it travels far. I am back up to where I was in distance last year.

Thanks a lot TLT Dan, I will recommend you to anyone else that I know needs to be fitted.

Thanks for the feedback. I willl also get mine fitted there as well when I get my new shafts at the end of the month.

[TLT Dan]

I did more than just install the shafts. The lofts and lie angles were quite poor on this set (as far as specs go), so I dialled these in as well. Corrected all the combinations of length and lie and brought the swing weight into an MOI progression that will create a similar feel between each club.

Everything was dialled into my True length Technology math model - to the correct Series determined through my fitting process.

It was a pleasure working with you and I am excited for your game improvements that will come after a few rounds.
