DG iron shafts; which is right?

[mcgoo]

What is the difference between DG S200 and DG S400 shafts? What should a high handicap 86ss 5 iron player use?

[Big Johnny69]

The number following the S is for weight. A S200 shaft will be lighter than a S400. How much I don't know. Stick with the S200 or S300. S400 is pretty stout for only a "S" flex.

Thanks for the info. It saved my from buying the wrong clubs.

True Temper offers this definition.

Flex - the resistance of a shaft to bending as force is applied in the downswing. Generally, shaft flexes are denoted by the following letter codes: L (softest), A, R, S, and X (stiffest). Products in the True Temper “Gold” series are sub-flexed (ex. S200, S300, and S400) within each flex category.

Sub-flex – True Temper’s proprietary method of determining precise flexes within each individual flex category. This is accomplished by closely monitoring shaft weight, diameter, and wall thickness in design and manufacturing. As an example, Dynamic Gold S300 weighs 1/32 of an ounce or 2 grams less in overall weight than Dynamic Gold S400. This results in a shaft that plays slightly more flexible while remaining in the “S” flex category.

Hope this helps
