Mr. Stroh has come into the possession of certain wedge heads, which same are to be shafted up and sent in transit to him.  The question: what shaft(s) to install in the heads?

Our man Stroh hasn't yet provided details on his swing, his current iron shafts, his current wedges, and his likes/dislikes with any of the above.  With or without that information, let's start suggestin'.  Bores are parallel.

I'm thinking under-trimmed TT Lite XLs, but I'm boring.

Something teal in color. :D

I've seen one picture of his swing in action and based solely on that burned image in my mind, whatever shafts you put in they better be extra stiff.

And can you add some sort of a keg & tap/cigarette lighter function?

Got anything in an a-flex?

I've got some TT Lite XL's with pre-beer-soaked Players Sofftie grips I'll give him if he wants them.

Ted

probably get him some used womens driver with a 42" 43g shaft .  and butt trim it

How about Viking purple? 8)

I actually thought of purple.  But that's what mine are. For that matter, that's what my whole bag is. :D

You guys are great!  I feel so loved. (not the TFT, spaceage way)

Clive, I knew you wanted to pull and keep the rifle 5.5, and just throw anything in there.  More than fine with me.

I don't believe shaft flex has one *feces* of an ioda to do with anything, but thats blasphemy for another thread.

I would say, anything you got around the bench is fine with me.  Standard length.


After the interest sparked in the thread, and for sport, I will let the jury decide.

My only evidence:  My swing.  8 iron.

What's with gay finger pointing?

Have you read any of the threads on this forum?

Gotcha  [sm_naughty]

LOL   ;D

TT Tour Concept and Accra Tour Steel make awesome wedge shafts. Neither are available to Stroh so that's the main reason I recommend them.

 [sm_angry9]

 ;) ;D

What would you recommend, with that AA grapefruit league Axe swing I got?

Something easy to load with alot of which means a lighter flex and usually a lower bendpoint shaft.  I haven't seen your action or know anything about it but often Dynalite combo flex is a good option....it's real good in wedges too.

The video doesn't help? 




I would say overall, SS is pretty low.  I hit the ball very high.  I would like to get it down, esp. in the the short irons.

Sorry...I haven't been hanging out...way too much werk to do.  Missed your video.  Are you clothed?

Shaft isn't going to bring down your flight...sounds like the clubhead is passing your hands.  I'd go something midflex then.....Rifle 4.0 trimmed to 4.5 or some such. 

Thanks bro.  I agree on the hands.  Sumpin' I need work on.

Not to make this an Abbott and Costello routine............

This is the vid. I was talkin' about......
(or did you see it)

It played once for me then balked.....can't play.  Funky  photobucket maybe.

I'd need to see it again but it doesn't want to cooperate.  From what I did see, it didn't change my rec. 

warning in advance, all of the following could easily ruing your swing/game, but I used to hit irons way too high, too inconsistent, and worked on the following swing changes  ... I had insane driver swing speed, 115ish  but way post parallel and inconsistent....   could never trust the swing with irons and had to overhaul, shorten, and slow down a bit.

you can get
ball flight down/same total distance (basically) while adding better contact

if you really want to do this,  work on 1/2 to 3/4 swings and focus on accelerating and 'pinching' the hell out of the ball with a nice delofted  impact position.  finish should be 3/4 high too    your weight should be almost totally on your left side at finish on the 3/4 swing. 

if anything on this video.  your finish position is extremely long and indicative of a powerful high speed swing...  like tiger or michelle with driver ,  especially the part you strain at the end to make the shoulder turn even more.   it's great your so flexible,  but you dont swing hard enough (at least on this vid clip) to really need that turn through  imho... at least so it seems to my dumb eyes/experience


have you ever really watched vijay ?  inside 100-120 yards he never hits anything high at all (unless he has to go over a tree or something).   low spinning shots that check after 2-3 bounces ...  basically taking a hard pitch shot technique with whatever club will get him there.   in person i saw him hit a 1/2 PW that went about 110 yards, but never got more than 25-30 feet high  and it stopped on 1 hop   ... not like he swung out of his shoes... just solid technique, great contact, and great acceleration through and trapping of the ball @ impact


just my personal experience,  ymmv.

Thanks, bud.  I like what you said.  I agree.  The video is a little deceiving, as I'm truly not flexible, but have always worked on "finishing my swing", and staying in balance.  I will work on/the way the things/the technique you suggest. 8)

There's a difference between finishing your swing and working to finish your swing.  :)

If your follow-through would naturally finish shorter and/or elsewhere, but you're "forcing" it to a full finish ...

saw this video too stroh.
Looks good from this angle.
and who says there aren't any Accra Tour Steel to be had...Dyno?? Hah!!! ;D
I might have some 6.0 to sell...

P.S. Nice snowblower!!!!...Stang is ok too ;)...very nice.

got your iron viddy to work. 

Your overall action is smooth with easy acceleration on the downswing and fluidity though impact.  Everything points to a softer shaft. For wedges you could go with something like Rifle Spinner 4.5 or a Dynalite Gold R.  The softer tip will give you plenty of feel on partial shots.  I'm not a big fan of soft tip shafts in the full swing irons however...

Just my 2 pesoz

Stroh, I deleted your PM with your address.  You can either re-send it, or I can just send the box out to:


Mike Smith
c/o Highest-Volume Liquor Store in The Twin Cities Metro Area
Minneapolis, MN


Your call.

LOL!  I bet you also threw away the birthday card I sent you.

Better not send it to the beer joint.  They may fear a shift in the trend. ;)

New PM sent.

Almost three weeks to "carelessly slap together a couple of wedges?"

Way too much workmanship. [sm_devil]

I was filling the shafts with "mojo", and my refractory period isn't what it used to be.

Is that what Dyno means by "poon?"

Now you're on the trolley.

Righty or lefty?

Two clubs, so one with each.

Well then, I concur.

Now you're on the trolley.

Whatever the *fudge* that means.

It's the code words meaning to smite Clive. ;D
