I was piddling around with a training iron today . . . has a rather thick handle. But then I realized that I had a much better feel of the PP#1.
So maybe I need to go with thicker grips and I know Yoda and YodasLuke have done this as well.
Therefore . . . I probably need new GRIPS . . . and new SHAFTS, because I have gathered that it's better to err on the side of stiffness, and I've got graphite regular, which my son recommended when I started losing distance. But then I could just get a new set of irons! Maybe we'll get some good reports from Orlando on new equipment.
