6 iron rpm - how to reduce it?

Just a quick refresh.

I had the loft and lie checked/adjusted on my TS blades, and had 30 minutes trying out quite a few more shafts, mainly steel this time. The reason for going back to heavier steel is that is seems to lower my spin rate just enough compared to graphite, which is a shame as I love the feel of most graphite iron shafts. Anyway, the one that reduced my spin the most were the DG S400 Tour Issue! I had my spin at around 7000 with standard S400, but it went down to 6200 with the TI. The heavier shafts kept my SS up at 91-92mph, which I thought was strange, as with the lighter shafts (inc. graphite) went down to 87-88mph. Feel wise with steel, the best were the C-Taper with the new Mizuno 850 forged, but I had them spinning at 7500 - 8000!

I think I'll get some lessons and possibly go back for another fitting before making a purchase. Would love to get on a grass range with trackman but there's no facillities like that near me.

Thanks for everyones input.
