Questions & Answers Responses from PGA/LPGA Teachers on FINDaLESSON.com                                                                                  << BACK From Jeff, golfer: I have Dynamic Gold R300 shafts in my irons, and I have a tendency of pulling my shots and the ball would also balloon up in the air, (a very high trajectory, especially with the shorter irons) with a lost of distance, but because of the height I get, the ball would land softly on the green. Would I need to switch to a more stiffer shaft, like a DG S300? I used to balloon my drives, until I switch to a UST Proforce 75 stiff shaft, and now I'm hitting 250+ yards. PGA/LPGA TEACHING PROFESSIONAL RESPONSES: California "Dear Jeff: You answered your own question!  If you made the switch with your driver (ProForce 75) then the same will hold true for your irons. One small piece of advice...check your "Alignment"!"  - David Ruvolo, Teaching Professional Michigan "Jeff: You most likely are bringing the club back with your whole body, bring the club back with your shoulders and arms and the hips will follow. Hips rotate to about 45 degrees not to a 90 degree as with the shoulders. Good book is; Ben Hogan's Five Fundamentals of Golf."  - Cortlin Marcinkowski, Teaching Professional South Carolina "Sounds like it except that the balloon effect smacks at vertical motion through impact that increases available loft." - Michael Lucas, Teaching Professional
