Hi guys,
I recently brought my sticks in to get regripped at Golf Town. I currently play Wilson Staff CI6 irons with True Temper regular shafts.
I've been playing for 4 years now and these were my first set. While I was getting them regripped I borrwed my brothers MacGregor VIP V-Foil Torneys.
These irons are more of a players iron (smaller forged heads, with Rifle 5.0 shafts) they're also about 1/2 an inch shorter than the Wilsons. I go to the range once a week and noticed that I was striking the ball much better with the Macgregor irons.
Today I got my CI6es back and did a comparison with both sets. I hit the Mac's WAY better. I can really feel the weight of the head and for some reason it smooths out my swing. My tempo is much better with these irons.
My question, is this a matter of the heads or the shafts, or both? If I put shorter rifle 5.0 shafts in my CI6es will this improve my ball striking/tempo, or should I look for a set of VIPs with shorter 5.0s?
I realize this is probably difficult to answer without seeing my swing, but just curious what I should do.
Unfortunately, my brother won't give up his Macs.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
