Use 8-iron shafts in wedges you only hit partial shots

The instructor recounts a fitting recommendation: for a player who only hits partial shots with their sand wedge and lob wedge, go with eight-iron shafts. The stated reasoning is that the soft tip section is much longer on an eight-iron shaft than on a wedge shaft, which makes the club easier to load and keeps some feel in the shaft when you short-side yourself.
