I have been playing with some old Tommy Armour Ti-100 for years and am ready for upgrades. Having the Dynacraft Golf Hybrid iron set put together today. The 3 and 4 iron being Hybrids irons, the 5,6,7 are undercut cavities and the 8 down are cavity backs. Got the A wedge & S wdge as well. Shafting with Graffaloy Prolaunch blue R flex. I am 62 with a swing speed with a 5 iron of about 75 with pretty good tempo and mechanics. I hit a 5 iron about 160. Any thoughts on my club selection

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.
I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.
For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.

I like the call on the hybrids. I find it strange that the mid irons are muscle-cavs and the shorties are cavs - I thought it would have been the other way around.
The prolaunch blue is a nice shaft - just take the appropriate steps when cutting them.

Re: Brand new irons from components
Sounds like you have done your homework and you have chosen some good heads and shafts. The heads will give you foregiveness and the shafts are light weight which will help increase swing speed. The only problem you may have with your swing speed is the R flex may be too stiff. Other than that, some great choices in heads and shafts.

Re: Brand new irons from components
Played with them twice. First time I swung one was on a 160 yard Par 3. Pulled out the 6 iron flew it to the green, dead straight. Next time I used one was 2nd shot over water on a par 4. 150 out, pulled out a 7 iron flew it to the green, dead straight. Next, Par four on 2nd shot to a severely elevated green 155 out into the wind. Pulled out 5 iron flew it to the green with a slight pull. I love them. It has been a long time since I have hit struck the ball that well. Do not know if it is the heads or the shafts, or a combo of both. I am hitting the 3 and 4 hybrid good on the range, but pull them on course. Seem to have a little too much offset to them. Also, they have a Paragon shaft rather than the Graffaloy Prolaunch Blue. Do not know if that would make that much difference or not. Also got a new Snake eye Utility fairway wood that I absolutely love. Ha a Graffaloy Prolaunce 45 with R flex.Originally posted by gord962Sounds like you have done your homework and you have chosen some good heads and shafts.
