Just got my Mizuno mx23 tonight and was wondering what would be an average cost to get rifle shaft installed on 10 clubs (the 8 mizuno and 2 cg10 wedges. Also, how would I get fitted. I use a stiff now and these mx23 have the s300 shafts in them. I hit my 8 iron about 150yards. I know the rifle shafts have more steps ie 4.5 to 7.0 in .5 increments.
you should of let Mizuno do the work before you buy it. I bought my custom set on Ebay, which come directly from Mizuno itself. I didn't get rifle, but they custom made to my spec of 1 degree flat, and golf pride softy.
Anyway, to your question, Golfsmith have many types of rifle, i.e . Royal Precision. They are range anywhere from 10 bucks to 20 per shaft. You can get a whole set on ebay for much less. Do a search for Precision Rifle.
i HAVE A SET OF DYNALITE GOLD S300 on them now. They feel like a pretty light shaft. I think its easier to feel where the club head is ata all times this way. Hoping to play a round today or tomorrow.
The cheapest I could find for reshafting with rifles was $30 per stick including the shafts, so about $300 total, I live in the Washington DC area and things run high here.
I took apart and reassembled an old set of clubs just to see if reshafting was difficult and found that it is not, it is actually very easy. Start to finish it is maybe a 2.5 total hour job. So if you feel confident you can pick up the desired shafts and install them yourself for about $100.
there's a guy on ebay that would do set of 9 rifle precision shaft for 99 bucks plus 15 for shipping. Your flex choice from 5.0 to 7.0 is your choice. He also included your choice of decent grips.
I think rifle shaft is not much difference than the dynamic sensicore. Both are built to absorb shock. Although many people are swear by that shaft. I think Mickleson have switched to that.
Are flighted rifle shafts worth the difference? I shoot around 85 or so.
Just saw this and though it's a little late on answering it's a good question. According to Golfsmith, the flighted rifle uses different bend points in the set. Lower bend points in the long irons to help get them up and higher bend points in the short irons for better control. Makes sense but whether it's worth the difference for you only you can say. The price difference is very minimal. Have a good one.
