Cool

i would suggest trying to get two similar clubs (an iron loft you're comfortable with is ideal), one with a regular-flex steel shaft and one with a stiff-flex steel shaft. hit both a few times and compare the results.

the extra stiffness might have a positive effect on your slice...especially(typically) if you are a strong male, i.e. higher swing speeds. hard swingers often slice clubs with that have too much flex. the clubhead gets behind/open and doesn't catch up until after impact. or it whips forward and you get the long pull.

i speak from my own experience on this one. i could rarely hit my long irons solid with the trajectory i was looking for until i switched to the S300's (True Temper lingo for stiff steel). now i cant blame the equipment anymore... hehe.

have a good one guys and gals... my first post.

see ya around

edit: i just reread the thread and realized that you (the thread starter) are very new to golf. i stand by my advice to at least try stiff steel, but with some reservation due to lack of information.
