Aaron,
Stiff shafts are more for someone that has 100mph+ for there driver swing. I’d stick with regular but as Rob says best to get them fitted.

Aaron,
I really recommend you get fitted for the proper shaft for these irons, which is the best way to find out what shaft suits your swing. If your iron swing is 75-80 a stiff shaft may not suit you well, that’s why its best to get fitted.

Good Luck.

When you say the shafts are for if you swing 90+ is that with driver or irons because with an 8 iron im like 75-80 but with driver im like 95-100mph.

Do you recomend these to me with the stock shafts in stiff

When you say these irons are good if you have a 90mph+ swing speed are you talking about with the driver because I am about 95 mph with my driver and about 75-80mph with an 8 iron

If it helps I am a 10 handicap

Do you recomend these clubs with the stiff dynamic gold shafts in them?

Hi Andrea,
The TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons can be custom ordered from TM with Project X shafts. I think your best bet is to get fitted for these irons to see if they are right clubs for your swing. If you can’t get professionally fitted in Norway, at least demo them before you buy them.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the great review. I am thinking of buying these irons as i like the slightly lower trajectory and more penetrating ball flight. i am currently playing a very forgiving cavity back but would like to switch to a more workable club as my irons give me a high trajectory which is affected a lot by the strong wind here in norway. is it possible to get these with project x shafts? also, would you recommend these to a 13 handicapper??
the biggest reason i would switch to a player’s club is to get my swing going without relying to much on the club to do the work, trying to stay on top of my game.

Hi Nelson,
the Nippon Shafts are probably one of the best sub 100 gram shafts on the market. The other characteristic of the Nippon Shafts is there consistency in weight, shot dispersion, and flight trajectory. You’ll also find that shaft can feel both hard and soft at the same time, meaning its both stable in pliable. Overall, your going to get a shaft that provides you the same type of characteristics that can be found in the heavier shafts, but without the weight.

I have these on my wedges and they’re great!

Good Luck!

hi Rob, great reviews in this site! I played the TM MB irons with DG S300 shafts for the last 4 years and I have decided to replace them with the TP and have purchased a set already with the Nippon NSPro950GH stiff shafts. I know that the Nippon shafts are much lighter but that’s all I know. What are the other characteristics of these shafts? and do they compare to the DG S300? I have a 10 handicap and my swing speed average is 102, I generally have high ball flights with all my clubs. thanks.

Dan,
I haven’t played the Titleist AP2’s, so I can’t tell you the pros and cons of the clubs. My advice is to demo both sets and compare how they feel. After you decided on which ones you like better, get fitted for the irons you plan on purchasing to make sure your playing the best club for your game.

Good Luck!
Rob
