Hogan Combo set - which shaft?

[phil75070]

I've been looking at the Hogan combo set, which they recommend based on their on-site fitting app. They recommend the Recoil graphite shafts and I've been playing graphite shafts, it seems like, forever, with Recoil 760s being in my last three sets of irons, OG Callaway APEX, Apex CF16 and currently Apex CF19. However, I've had such great success with KBS Hi-rev wedge shafts, R (115g), in my wedges compared to Recoil 460s in those clubs that I was considering going to the KBS Tour 90s in this iron set. My concern is that the Tour 90s are designed for players wanting higher trajectory and with the lofts on the Hogan's already being "traditional" would the Tour 90s lead to ballooning and even more loss of distance? Or, would the added weight of the Tour 90s somewhat compensate for that? Hogan says the swing weight for the recoil and KBS Tour 90s is the same, D1.

 

Further info, I am 73, a 4.0 GHIN index, hit my driver 225-230 on well struck shots, 7i 145 on average.

 

Appreciate any feedback or comments.

I have the Hogans in the Recoil shaft because I wanted to move to graphite for the vibration reduction. I feel like I have to put a really smooth and easy swing on them to control the ball flight. Prior to buying these I demoed the PTX Pro in the KBS Tour 90 and really loved that shaft and head combo. Wish I would have bought those. Great ball flight and stability. 
 

I tend to deloft at impact and like playing traditional lofts. I didn’t find the Tour 90s to ballon. 
 

I’d recommend a demo of the Tour 90. It’s only $20.

Thanks for your insights! The demo 7i w/ that shaft is “sold out”. I signed up

to Get in line for it.
