I am a high handicapper (18) and have been playing a set of AP1's the past few months and have generally liked them, but noticed I often mis-hit toward the toe. I tried standing closer to the ball, but that led to feeling cramped sometimes and more inconsistency. Despite buying these AP-1's as STD length/lie, I measured them and they come up 1/2" short! Pretty sure this is contributing to my toe hits.
On a whim I bought a Callaway X-20 demo 6 iron (STD length). I hit it much better and consistent in comparison. It has a regular flex graphite shaft. So now I'm contemplating a new/used set of irons. Since I like the X-20, I am considering those. The AP-1's were good too, they just didn't fit me properly, so I may consider them again. Since I like the X-20 I thought maybe I should consider X-22's, Fusions and FT's.
So, should I play it safe and look strictly for a set of X-20's with regular flex graphite shafts? Not super excited about getting graphite shafts in my irons, but I know some people love them. I hear great things about the Fusion and FT's, so I am interested in those, but there are no demo's available near me. Also, should I stay away from the Callaway Uniflex steel shafts? What about the Nippon's? My driver swing speed is 95, but my tempo is not real fast so I end up liking regular or slightly stiffer flexes.
