Rifle FCM shafts

[dawson2282]

Here's the deal...recently I purchased two Cleveland CG 14 wedges in 50* and 54* lofts...they are used but in very good shape...they were owned by the same person...

The 50* gap has been refitted with a Rifle FCM 6.5, however, when it hit it is was smooth and flew farther than my previous used Titleist Vokey...no boardy feel I anticipated with a 6.5 flex. I AM NOT a 6.5 Rifle player by any means.

Because I really enjoyed the result of the 50*, I decided to refit the 54* as well, but first removed the grip on the 50* to determine the actual information of the 50* Rifle shaft...seems the previous owner either experimented or had an extra shaft laying about his shop as the shaft was a cut down 6.5--7 iron shaft, therefore, soft stepped three times!!! BUT IT FELT GREAT and was longer than the Vokeys!!

So, desiring to have the same flex/ feel, I purchased another 6.5--7 iron and replaced the True Temper in the 54*...

Can some of you aficianadoes of the Rifle name tell me the normal frequency range of a 6.5 7 iron? I'm curious and what would the soft stepped frequency range be if possible to figure??...

Thanks...I posted this on another forum, however, no answers...so, I just copied and pasted it here hoping someone may have an answer...

Im not a 100% sure but I seem to remember that the Rifle Spinner wedge shafts were really just the 8 iron shaft used for the wedge. Frequency on 6.5 7 iron with all standard parameters according to RP would be 321.

It is probably a Spinner 5.5.  A 6.5 blank tip trimmed for an 8 iron and butt cut to the finished length...
