Subject: Golf Question: Project X Shafts
|
Am wondering if any of you have switched to Project X shafts and what
the difference is between those and TT Dynamic Gold S300s, for example.
Is your swingspeed appreciably faster? Does impact give you the same
amount of feedback?
I just read a column where the author says most forged iron players
would prefer Project X shafts because of the improved feel, which is a
claim I had not heard before...

Thanks to those who responded. It sounds like I will stick with TT
Dynamic Golds....and stop the experimenting for awhile.
By the way, if there are any forged-iron lovers out there who are
looking for another set to play, I just picked up a used set of Ben
Hogan Apex Edge Pro forged a few weeks ago. I may finally have found a
set Iike more than my Mizuno Trues. Not as much feel as the Trues, but
man, I don't think I have ever hit so many GIR.
Once I reshafted from the original Apex 4 shafts into the TT DGs S300s,
and took a few rounds to get accustomed to them, my irons have
returned as the best part of my game.

I had Harrison Premier Golf in R3 on my KZG musclebacks. I got them
used and the shafts were too short for me. They had much more feed back
then the shafts in my Ping Eye 2s.
I got fitted at a Certified Rifle Center near me in Palo Alto, CA. My
chart showed stiffness of 5.4 to 6.0. I ended up with Project X shafts
in 5.0. They still feel stiff to me, but I also like how solid they
feel.

I made a set for a guy who spec'd them. They were terrible shafts for
the price ($25/shaft). The set was not trimmable, which meant they were
what they were. The frequency slope was about what you'd expect from
someone just throwing a set together without concern for frequency or
weight.
I was not impressed.

I put a set in my late 1970s Topflite blades. The shafts just feel
better, more consistent and possibly a higher ball flight than dynamic
golds or normal rifles. Also they feel the same club to club.
Oh well lots of dew sweeping next week!!
