Just curious and I hope I don’t come across as judgmental, what sold you on getting your shafts Pured and what is your handicap?



I do not have an official handicap but with recent scores and CBandits chart he posted recently I estimate around a 12. Although, I have been playing and practicing a lot more and I am hoping getting fitted will shave some strokes off. I was simply sold on it to be honest. I didn't know much about it, but him explaining it made sense at the time while making my decision. I would love to hear opinions on getting iron shafts pured. I can make adjustments to the build because all the manufacturers are so backed up.


Also, part of me said frick it... I was in a spending mood already.

My personal opinion is pured shafts are unlikely to add much, but if money isn't a major issue, why not..

Also, just an FYI, you would be a -12 (most people just say 12). + means you are on the other side of par (aka below scratch). Good luck and enjoy the new set.

I don’t have an opinion either way. It’s more of a cost benefit to you personally. It’s pretty polarizing to be honest. Some people swear by it and some say it’s a hoax. The science makes sense but how effective it actually is is up for debate. Bottom line to me is if you think it’s worth $30 per club to have the best possible club then I can’t argue with that logic.

For me personally, I’ve played both and couldn’t tell much of a difference. However, the folklore among low handicappers is when the science first came about the guy who developed it asked Davis Love if he could have his clubs pured. The guy asked his thoughts and Love said he liked the feel but for some reason the 7 iron felt off compared to the others. Well, the guy who pured them intentionally left the 7 iron unPured and told Davis. That’s sort of how it got started. Take it for what it’s worth.
