    Is it possible to replace Dynalite XP (stiff) shafts with Graphite (stiff) and not change the original characteristics of the irons? I'm trying to go to a lighter feel.

    I've tried that, and gone back to steel shafts. I got the lighter feel with graphite but the torque is much higher so the shaft was a little more "whippy", hence less control. I managed to get what I wanted, a lighter feel, with a light weight steel shaft. True Temper and Nippon make @90gram shafts that work well.

    Might be a challenge to get the same swing weight with the graphite as you had with the steel shaft. You might want to consider working with a fitter to get everything set up correctly.

    Definitely go see a fitter.

    Hi Garypga,

    Other than seeing a fitter, which is a great recommendation, have you heard of the NS Pro Zelos7 and Zelos8? Anyway, they are light like graphite but has a closer relative torque (2.6 on 7, and 2.2 on 8) stiff flex. The weight is 7.75 on Zelos7 and 8.75 on Zelos8.

    I went through the same thing you are in. I have a Zelos7 on my 716 CB and loving it. Although I'll be looking to upgrade, I will be sure to have the same model shafts on it in near future.

    Good luck with the search.

    Yup, I would see a Certified Titleist fitter. That way you can try an array of graphite shafts and see what feels and performs the way you want.
