@gumpy Stuart_G always says it better than myself! Most folks do not have access to real fitters with grass ranges and a GC4, so being able to self diagnose is a huge help. Howard's thread on DIY fitting makes it straight forward.

I said "can be catchy and cause fats/thins." There is no way to know what's best for you without being there. Is your iron spin being measured indoors or outdoors on grass? Indoors is almost always going to give inaccurate spin numbers on the low side. -2 is adding loft at impact. Is that what you mean? i230 definitely has a wide'ish sole and can be very catchy/slow on certain turf. Are yours standard or power spec'd? A shallow and very in to out swing with a thin toe strike is going to give low launch/spin numbers regardless of what irons you play.

yes. thanks

I've found this to be true for myself and while conducting fittings. If you have an AOA of +4 or greater with a leading edge and sole grind that prevents easy turf entry your dispersion will suffer. In the same way, if you are shallow and less than +3 AOA a narrow sole and sharp leading edge can be catchy and cause lots of thins and fats. Dispersion usually suffers. Over generalizing, but very common to see during fittings.

I thought the Shogun Blue only came in 42 grams and 0-2 flex. It's impossible to make good recommendations on here with almost no information. I really don't want people to go buy something based on a guess. The Shogun Blue is a super soft lightweight shaft and fairly pricey. Unique in its construction and design. Hitting a 5 wood from the turf has unique demands and is a club you likely rely upon frequently. If I were fitting you we would be on the course hitting all sorts of shots switching between shafts and I would likely bring the same shafts I recommended above, plus a few others.

The Kingdom will definitely get you dialed. Those guys are good. My advice would be to really spend time thinking about exactly what you want to see with regards to ball flight before you go. Talk to them about the feels you really like. Think about what gives you confidence on the course and figure out how to communicate that. A big expensive mistake I see too often is going with clubs that produce the best "numbers" in a fitting, but don't have great feels. Feels are what you look for under pressure. They give confidence via familiarity and comfort.

Don't be surprised if you have trouble timing the Ventus Red. It has virtually the same handle as the black. Very stiff. There is no Ventus equivalent to the DI, other than marketing it as a high launch/low spin. The standard OG Ventus Blue has a softer handle than the TR and you may want to try that without the standard fairway wood tipping. That could help launch a little. I see you play regular shafts in the flat setting. Tells me you come from the inside with average speed. Very shallow, which are the trademark conditions that prevent launch off the deck with low lofted clubs and likely are trying to prevent over draws. Red is designed to help someone turn it over. ie- Tommy Fleetwood only wants to see right to left ball flight on stock shots and plays V reds for that reason. Shallow swingers can occasionally do well with FW wood shafts that have some extra droop/lead shaft deflection. Can help with launch. If I were fitting you I would have you try the new Ventus + White or the Mitsubishi Vanquish FW. Possibly the Tour AD CQ or Speeder NX Blue or Violet
