What are the Best STEEL IRON SHAFTS!!??

lately on shot talk everyone has been going on with graphite shafts for Drivers and woods/hybrids.

But it seems like we have all forgotten the more important clubs in our bags..
duh IRONS!!!

Today I was at the driving range and I met a guy that used to work for FCM Rifle shafts. and He ran their " tour van " for a while and was talking about how great they are. Now I have heard of them, but my impression is that the project X shafts are the best money can buy when it comes to steel shafts.

he was explaining to me that their Spining is the best out there and it is very consistent and that it does not spiral as it goes from the butt to the tip.

SO MY QUESTION IS!
Who makes the best Iron shafts,

These categories primarily and any others that you may feel important.


Price:
Feel:
Consistency:
Range of types:
Quality of materials:

and any thing that I am forgetting.

I would like to really get some good information. Also first hand experience is a big plus guys.

Thanks in advance.

doesn't matter who makes them as long as they match and fit your swing

for the money, the FST stuff is nice
for feel, the rifle flighted are nice, then again so are dynalites with prosoft inserts (i'm too cheap to try black gold or PX)

Well yes I understand fitting, I would be fit properly, but I am looking for a very consistant flight. I know I dont swing EXACTLY the same every time, but who does? and dont say tiger because he doesnt either.

it's going to vary by player - Tmag for example is a pro and is playing tour concepts by TT or something (I'm not in his league ) - others have good luck with Dynalites (MGP for example) - others have been fitted for Rifle's (doc)

other guys seem to be able to play and do well with almost anything - if you look at the shafts Lyle's been through in the past year or two (I know of DGSL's, Rifle's and PX's) - they're all different, but I'd bet they're all pretty damn consistent or he wouldn't have put them into his sticks

if you're looking for a generalization I'll say, if you play the softest flex shafts you can consistently control, they'll feel better and give you more distance

The best steel iron shafts?

For me?

That would be Dynalite Gold.

But that's just me.

And that could change were I to try more shafts.

But I tried Dynamic Gold, Rifle, TT Lite, and Nippon NS950, and the Dynalites.

I picked the Dynalite Golds.

Again - that's JUST ME !!!

interresting, Well I am just curious, and am wondering if it might be worth the money... I have DG S-300s. I picked up my friends PX 4 iron and it felt light as plastic. when I hit it I loved the ball flight he had.. It got high quick, then flatened out and just kept going...

I don't really care for any of the Rifles I've tried out. I like the NS 1050's a lot.

I have played just about every steel shaft out there, Flighted Rifles, Project X, Black Gold, Dynamic Gold, but the best I have hit so far are the Tour Concepts from True Temper. They are a bit on the expensive side ($300-$400 per set depending on the finish), but they are a constant weight and variable tip flex. Solid feel and great control.

My faves are the Nippon, Accra and PX.....but for the price? Get the FST with some vibration dampeners and you're golden.
