Easy question. I usually like to hover around 110 but I have found more success with heavier shafts at times. What is your preferred weight and have you experimented with others?
What is your preferred iron shaft weight?

115-120 seems to be my comfy range. 130 feel way to heavy and I have trouble keeping the club on plane once I move below 110
115-120
Gradually trying to work my way down. Played 125-130 previous. Now 110 in one set currently.
95 was too light.

I've been 100% TT AMT for the last 7 years. I love the heavier 130ish weight in the wedges tapering down to only 106 grams in the 4 iron.
I went from lightweight 67 graphite to 110 to 105 to 130 to 120 to 115 graphite and now I’ve got some 110 graphites on the way. I like the lighter shafts I’m just not sure my swing likes it as much as I do. Part of me wants to just drop to as low as possible but I’m going to trust the 110 recommendation and see how that performs.

When I first went to graphite iron shafts they were around 65 - 70, and they felt great. My current irons shafts were the result of a Club Champion fitting, where I found that my sweet spot for graphite iron shafts is 95s, still great feel, more consistency, and way better dispersion.
Currently play gram. I do have a set of clubs with 110 recoils. I prefer the 95s. Have played shafts as low as 80. Spent some time at Club Champion a few weeks ago trying new shafts. After several options with a couple different heads fitter said stick with your i95s
I had been playing Steelfiber 95s in my last set of irons. Based on the Mizuno shaft analyzer I tried some 110g shafts at my fitting in the fall and wound up with the Modus 120 which is 110g in my new irons. At the fitting I hit the M120 as far as SF and more consistently. It is early in my season so I am not certain about them yet.
125 seems to work for me.

95 - 105 but have played heavier shafts successfully.
I have heard that a number of times as well. Curious, do you play them at a pretty heavy swing weight?
130 grams. I have tried lighter in fittings, but feel more comfortable with the heavier iron shaft.

I actually have no idea what the swing weight is
PX Catalyst 80's seem to be the sweet spot for me.

85 - 95 grams seems best for me
I tend to see better results with heavier iron shafts. Was fitted into 130g shafts last go-around, but are currently playing lighter shafts and things are working well in the long irons, not so great with the shorter ones. Maybe I’ll give the AMTs a shot?
Started with DGx100 which were 130 also tried the 120. Now i play $taper 120. I like the 120 weight but havent hit x100 in a while and would like to try Modus 130 and see if i like the heavier weight now with a better swing
Played 115g last year with good success, moved to a 95g this year and like them

Well, there goes that idea.. lol.

I never liked the AMT shafts personally but many do
