Here is a start for my promised review. I have these shafts on Bridgestone JGR HF1 irons. All from the true temper event a few months back.
That event in sept was my 4th time golfing last yr due to a partially torn bicep tendon. Since that time i was able to only golf one time due to weather and (yep) another tendon issue in my left arm. Luckily i didnt really need that one so they just king of cut it the rest of the way.
Today, thanks to indoor golf i was able tp play a solid 18 with my son.
The clubs. The jgr go from 5i-p2. After about three holes i started to make solid contact. A couple things i noticed right away. The shafts are heavy and i hit the ball straight. Distance was 10-15 yards longer than my previous tm speed blades and i always had a slight fade with those. Today i found myself left a lot due to always setting up for the fade. It will take a while to get my head straight on that. It will also take a while to get used to the weight of the clubs.
But, the reality is i hit them farther and straight. Ill never be the big hitter that some of you monsters are, so i need to play smarter. That being said, I suddenly cannot wait until spring to play more. The true temper wizards were right when they pointed me to these shafts. I do need to have them cut down about 1 1/4”. There were not cut to size.
In a nutshell
1. Heavier
2. More distance
3. Better control
4. Improvement over stock shafts on previous set
5. Cant wait for spring!
If your getting older and your swing is slowing down take a look at these. Nothing glamorous, they just work.
Ill have more as i play more.
