Re shafting irons | Golf Monthly

My swing speed has risen since I was fitted for new irons about 18 months ago. At that time my 6 iron was about 77 mph so I was advised to go for regular shafts in my new Ping Gs.

Having worked with my coach on lengthening what was a previously quite short, compact backswing, I am now swinging the 6 iron at 84-85 mph today according to Trackman. Was advised that this puts me into stiff shaft territory.

My bad shot is a strong draw/mild hook and my pro thinks a stiffer shaft could assist. Already use a stiff driver.

Any advice on options if I did want to switch?

Appreciate I could get my irons re-shafted and have seen a few sets on eBay. Alternative would be to trade in my set for a new stiff shafted set. Shaft sets seem reasonable - £100-£150, but realise its not a DIY job to fit them. Any idea of ball park fitting cost if I bought the shafts?

Anyone have a view on the pros and cons of re-shafting?
