I was told by my instructor and I trust his judgement, That your wedge shots require a more controlled swing and that is the advantage of the stiffer shaft. I use DGR300 in my Ap1s thru PW(45*) my new wedge set up is 50/54/60 and use the DGS300. I have found no significant flaws with this set up. Granted I am a high handicap and there are some issues off the tee box and putting but my iron play is good. Most of the wedge shots are 3/4 swing. Is there anything wrong with the set up using S300 in the wedges and R300 in the other irons and is the R vs. S being somewhat over technical with short irons/wedges since the club is short and flex is not in play that often? Thanks in advance for any input...

Thank you! So we can say that it is a weak stiff shaft? If i play with regular shaft with my titleist irons and metals but my 2 wedges are stiff, is it a disadvantage for my game? I prefer to play with regular shaft because torque give me more distance and I do not drive more than 260 yards.

I play A flex shafts on my driver and 19* fairway, regular on my hybrids and irons, and the stock shafts on my Vokeys. The feel is just fine and my short game is pretty deadly. I hit my driver about 230, 19* 190 and about average distance on the rest of them (24H is 165, 27H is 155, 7 iron 145, PW 105, etc). My driver is 1.25" shorter than stock (Burner 2007 set to 44.5"). My 19 is set to 7 wood loft (20.5*) and is 41.5" Even back in the day I used regular shafts on the woods and stiff on everything else.

Ok fine. That's what I thought. So thank you again. Maybe one day I'll be able to have a fitting Sesson!

Generally, you want to keep the flex consistent through your set. If you feel that the weight and flex isn't too much for your approach shots and "feel" shots around the green, then you could probably just keep the shafts as is.

The stock shaft in all Vokey wedges is the Dynamic Gold S200.
