Would the Apollo 85 steel shaft be a good match for this club head? Or would the launch be too high? The Apollo 85 appears to have similar specs to the True Temper 85g shafts I have in my current irons.
Also, how would you describe the forgiveness quality of this driving iron?
If I did get the Apollo 85 in Reg. flex I assume I would not need to trim the tip. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Phil,
Really any iron shaft can be used in that driving iron, it is just a matter of how good of a fit it is to the player for the weight, stiffness and ball flight. The 85g shaft in your iron is a high launching shaft. This head is more forgiving than a regular iron because it is hollow bodied and the weight is out toward its perimeter. For the 18º, there is no tip trimming for that shaft, but for the the 21º you would tip trim 1/2" for 1" for the 24º model.

Do you have plans to offer a Dynacraft Driving Iron 27 degree Clubhead?
If so, is there a tentative date when that loft "might" be available?

Kevin,
Sorry, there are no plans of expanding the line with higher lofts. However, you might look at the new Dynacraft Prophet CB irons as they share the same face technology.

I am looking at this club head @ 24* to replace a Cleveland MT 588 5 iron. The preliminary specs as far as loft and offset seem very similar. How do you feel the 24* club will do from the fairway? The MT is very easy to hit and I am hoping that this could be a good substitute. Thank you!

Will,
The 24º is a substitute for a 4-iron, although some of modern 5-irons are creeping up to the same loft. These are pretty easy to hit compared to a standard iron as there is an awful lot of weight both low and rearward to get the ball off of the ground.

What ferrule is needed for the .370 tip shaft?
Question by: Ray on Mar 21, 2015, 10:40 AM
Ray,
Any of our iron ferrules that begin with code FR10 work (except the FR1013TG). The most popular is the 1/2" all-black which has a code of FR1013.

Do you have a list of what the recommended club lengths could be? I plan on using a 85 gram hybrid shaft and a standard grip.
Question by: jeff on Apr 7, 2015, 5:44 PM
Jeff,
If you click on the specifications tab above the description you will find a column for standard clublength. These are based on men's length (except for our ladies iBella line) and with graphite shafts for drivers fairways and hybrids. Steel shaft are for everything else. For the 18* model our recommended length would be 40" and the other models would drop down in 1/2" increments.

The video and the other comments here discuss this club as a tee club. How would it compare to a "normal" long iron? Would it be easier to hit than a traditional long-iron off the fairway, in the same way a hybrid would be. Or would a person be better off looking at a different option as a long-iron/hybrid replacement. I, like most people, have some difficulty with my 3- and 4-irons, even though clubhead speed isn't a real issue for me (105 MPH driver SS). So I'm looking for an option here, but I haven't liked any of the hybrids I have hit.
Question by: Kelly on Feb 1, 2016, 3:34 PM
The driving iron is a hollow-bodied long iron with a thin reactive face. Because the face is thinner and uses less weight, the extra weight was positioned lower and deeper within the head to make it more forgiving. A hybrid would still be more forgiving because it will have a wider footprint, but at least this series is more forgiving than a traditional iron.

Does it have Legal Grooves? Thanks
Question by: WU on Apr 8, 2016, 11:37 PM
WU,
We have never submitted them to the USGA for a formal ruling. Since the lofts are less than 25 degrees, there is a high likelihood they would pass.

How does the ball flight on these compare to a traditional "players" club like the Prophet MB or a blade? I'm thinking about reshafting my 3 and 4 irons with the driving iron. For example, should I expect more or less spin, higher or lower, etc.
Question by: Adam on Jun 9, 2016, 6:19 AM
Adam,
The Dynacraft Driving iron will have a lower and more rearward CG than a players blade/cavity back iron. Comparing similar lofts, the ball flight for most golfers (with all else the same) will be higher and with higher ball speed. As far as spin, that can change with angle of attack and where on the face impact is made.

I am pairing a KBS Tour Steel Iron R shaft (UKB01-001-IR) to this 21 Degree Driving Iron. The catalog suggests 39 inch length and one inch trimming for my male customer. He desires a shorter shaft to 38 inches. Does it make sense to then to not tip the shaft at all? Also will that give us a higher ball flight? He has a moderate swing speed.
Question by: BOB BITTER on Jun 27, 2016, 6:38 AM
Bob,
1" shorter will equate to a 6 swingweight point decrease which is also a 6 cpm increase in the frequency. By tip trimming 0" you will negate the frequency increase as long as you don't add weight back to the head. But if you do, then I would recommend some tip trimming depending upon the amount (i.e 7 grams = 1/2").
