[O.B.Left]

O.B.

Is your driver, fairway woods and/or hybrids also longer than standard? A 45" driver, IMO, is really made for someone that needs a longer club, but the swingweight is usually in the D0 range and not balanced like the irons.

I kept my Titleist 909 D3 at standard length and my 3 wood too. Didnt want to go longer on those for accuracy and shaft flex reasons.

In regard to the irons softening Im a pretty smooth swinger, not a ton of loading so the softer flex associated with length doesnt bug me. The face seems to stay square pretty good , in other words. I can play reg shafts without a problem or actually even my wifes clubs. I dunno just not a big consideration for me so I just keep ordering S300 like I have since the mid seventies .......although my old Wilson Staffs were just Dynamic Stiff as I recall, not Gold s300.

My concern for heavy swing weight is if it adversely effects the way the club switches ends? I like em heavy but am just wondering if in my next set I order lighter heads (if thats possible) or counter balance my existing set. I dont think its a problem but just wondering about the implications if there are any.

I used to have a driver that was in the E range back in the days of persimmon I sorta felt like I had to muscle it around instead of letting it swing. But my irons just feel like I can drop them like a heavy hammer or something now. More mass maybe? I dunno.
