I'm having some rotator cuff pain. I'm playing more golf than I have in a long time (yay!), but starting to see some pain in my rotator cuff. Doctor neighbor says lighten the irons up, and I believe the guy. In his defense, he's a great golfer and the timing of this pain is no coincidence; I added some weight to my irons last year with Project X 6.5's. Really like that shaft because I'm a spinny player, but that shaft doesn't allow for much relief. I can't keep getting after it or I'm going to have some real issues down the road. And frankly, golf is less fun right now because my shoulder hurts.
Sob story out of the way: I need to dial back the weight and my swing speed needs to slow up while this heals, and maybe forever so it doesn't come back. Shafts are 125g near as I can tell. Based on a bunch of research on this forum and the googles (even Chat GPT because....why not), looks like the MMT or the steelfiber i110 would be good options.
What options am I missing?
Eventually I will get re-fit, but there are no fitters close by and I just want to let this pain settle, get into a less aggressive transition, then get re-fit. I have a feeling I'm headed down the path of never returning back to normal power and swing speed, so getting some graphite going now will allow me to settle in. To boot; I don't mind experimenting for the heck of it.
