If you are choosing between steel and graphite iron shafts, weight is the deciding factor. Steel shafts range from 95g to 130g; graphite shafts range from 50g to 90g. Your swing speed and handicap narrow the correct weight range. Use the tables below for a direct match, then test your target shaft before buying. This…
Pick a shaft model, not a brand. The same logo can give you completely different launch and feel. Your swing speed, tempo, and target ball flight matter far more than the name on the sticker. If you need low launch and low spin, go with True Temper Dynamic Gold or KBS C-Taper. For smooth feel…
Pick the wrong shaft flex and you leave yards on the course. Here’s the short answer for general swing speeds: Swing Speed (mph) Recommended Flex Below 70 Senior (A) / L 70–80 Regular 80–90 Stiff 90–100 X-Stiff Over 100 Tour X If you swing a driver under 85 mph, start with Senior flex. Between 85–95…
Swing weight measures the balance feel of a club during the swing — it is not the same as total static weight. The scale runs A0 (lightest) to G9 (heaviest). Most men play between D0 and D4; women’s standard is C5–C8. This guide covers the D0–D8 range with a reference table, step-by-step adjustment method, and…
Use the torque wrench that came with your club. Each brand’s wrench clicks at a specific torque value calibrated to that manufacturer’s adapter and screw design. A generic wrench or cross-brand wrench risks stripping threads, cracking the composite crown, or damaging the ferrule. Follow the steps below to tighten correctly, then verify the fix. What…
Short answer: Lofts for the same club number vary by up to 4° between brands. A 4H can be 20° (Callaway Paradym) or 22° (Ping G430, TaylorMade Qi10). Always check the degree, not the number. Next useful action: Pull the spec sheet for your longest iron and your fairway wood, then use the table below…

Specs Table JPX 925 Hot Metal (4335 Nickel Chromoly, CORTECH…
The 7-iron you buy today is not the same club your dad used. Loft angles have dropped steadily since the 1970s — a trend called “loft jacking.” A modern 7-iron (28–30°) now launches like a 1970s 5-iron. The number on the sole matters less than having consistent gapping between your irons. Below is the exact…
All G425 irons share the same head design, but you can order them in three loft configurations. Standard is the baseline; Power Spec is 1.5° stronger per club; Retro Spec is 1.5° weaker. Lengths and lie angles are identical across all three specs. If you already own a set, check the hosel stamp (“P” or…
Both the Ping G430 and G425 drivers use the same Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel system. It gives 8 settings to change loft and lie angle without swapping shafts. You get ±1.5° loft adjustment and ±3° lie adjustment (Flat or Standard). Turn the sleeve to one of 8 positions, torque to 32 in-lbs, and you are…
Here are the exact lofts, lies, lengths, offsets, and bounce angles for Ping G430 irons (4i through PW) across three spec variants: Standard, Power Spec (1.5° stronger), and Retro Spec (1° weaker).

Standard 5-iron lengths range from 38.00″ to 38.75″ across major brands; most 7-irons are 37.00″ except Mizuno (37.25″) and PXG (37.50″).

Below is a complete spec reference plus guidance on how to apply the numbers to your bag. How…
The TaylorMade Qi irons (2025) replace the Stealth line with individual head engineering per iron and a straighter flight bias. The Stealth irons use a shared head design and a draw bias to help correct slices. If you want precise gapping and a neutral shot shape, go with Qi. If you need a strong draw…

If you’re choosing between these four Titleist T‑Series irons, the 7‑iron loft tells you most of what you need to know. T100 (34°) – tour blade benchmark for skilled ball‑strikers. T150 (32°) – 2° stronger, faster face, still a compact players shape. T200 (30.5°) – polymer‑core construction with a players look but more forgiveness. T350…
Use these tables to compare lofts, lies, lengths, and offset across the four T-Series models. Before diving in, grab your current set’s 7-iron loft and typical carry distance. That baseline makes these specs actionable. Your next step: match the gapping data below to your skill level, then confirm fit with a professional clubfitter. Specs Table…

Short answer: If you’re under 5’8″ tall, use the height chart below to find the correct club length adjustment, flex, and shaft weight. Standard women’s clubs run 1″ shorter than men’s, with a lighter swing weight (C5–C8) and an L-flex (ladies) shaft. Juniors need even shorter clubs, and dedicated manufacturers (US Kids Golf, Flynn Golf)…
