Shaft Options for Mizuno MX-300s

[mckennwa]

All:

I have been playing a set of Ping G10s with stiff AWT shafts. I have worked my handicap down to 9.5. I am looking to switch to a more workable iron, to provide me with the ability to continue to develop and play more shots. I am primarily interested in varying my trajectory more than working a draw/fade, and my G10s are really tough to keep down. Addiionally, I am just getting tired of the sole width for short shots and tight lies.

Anyways, I have swallowed my pride and decided to get the MX 300s rather than try to leap into the MP series. I did the Mizuno fitting and was recommended either KBS Tour X Flex (soft stepped), Project X 6.0, or DG X-100 (soft stepped).

I am a tall player and will need the clubs to be extended by 1.25". My question is, will this extension modify the Mizuno fitting anyway? Also, should I consider getting the KBS Tour in a Stiff flex and hard stepping it? I just want to be sure not to get too stiff of a shaft for the future as I am 30 now, and am afraid I might not have the clubhead speed I do not forever.

Thanks for any insights. I am excited about getting the new sticks, and right now I am leaning toward the KBS over the Project X, but would welcome any feedback.

Thanks,
