    Great video and very interesting. I am sure there are numerous methods to change shafts and make adjustments but your way works just fine. It is always fun and interesting to test different shafts and grips and make repairs yourself. Its all part of the golfing experience in my view. Unfortunate that the shaft changes did not work. Cheers.

    Great video Lester. Was just wondering whether you could have messed about with shaft lengths a tiny amount to close the gapping between 7 and 8 iron. You could always adjust the lie angle afterwards? Just a thought 👍

    Great video Lester and agin hit the perfect level for my golf club nerdiness! Only thought I had is that quite often the gap between 4 and 5 irons are 3 degrees, why not leave the 4 iron alone and make the gap to 5 iron 4 degrees and then weaken the 5, 6 and 7 as required - may fill the gap better, but not knowing the specs I've no idea!!

    Good point on the lie angle. Mizuno “standard” is c.1* flatter than Titelist and half a degree flatter than Ping. I’ve noticed the difference probably more in swing weight as I have a set of Mizuno at 2* flat and Ping i230 Orange dot (2 flat) with the same shaft slightly different grips and they do feel different.

    Might be me but is the obvious answer not to stick the VR 7 iron in & carry "2 7 irons" . Effectively the vapour 7 is the 6 in the VR set? I play cobra rf forged mb but wanted more forgiveness in 4 iron so i play the 5 from my old set as 4 ?
