Replacement shaft

[inc0gnito]

Seeing Greginfife's link double check you read the label correctly

I have a Mizuno Dynalite Gold XP R300 (not sure if this a 7 iron shaft though)
or
TT Dynamic Gold Lite R300 as the nearest to that (originally from a Mizuno but grip changed).

The Dynamic Gold XP was the replacement shaft for the Dynamic Gold Lite

Sounds like you know about shafts. I honestly couldn’t tell you a thing about them. I’ll just play whatever’s in there. Dynalite dynamite or c4. I just went ahead and bought that eBay one Greiginfife linked.

At what point do I just buy a new set of irons?!
Hit a ball with my 4 iron into the net in my back garden and this happened.
How the heck does it break there?! Any explanations welcome.

Who fitted the grips and how were they fitted? I had that happen once and when I removed the grip the shaft was heavily corroded.

They were bought off eBay years ago. I did replace the 5 iron grip myself recently at the shaft was fine.

You need to work on your grip pressure, maybe?!
Oh, and now is the point to buy new irons! Relish the excuse!

It breaks there because it is the point between the two hands where a lot of stress would occur and where the shaft cannot bend to absorb it when you (normally occurs when you hit the the ground). The butt is where a shaft is at its thinnest.

Seen it twice on my clubs (different sets).

Yeah makes sense. Must have weakened over time I guess. Will just have to do without a 4 iron for a while.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to get a 7 wood.
