Buying a new set of G10 irons... Shafts???

[BobbyBoneZ]

So I'm looking to buy a set of Ping G10 irons, and today I went to range to compare the ZZ-65 shaft and the AWT. The end result? I liked the AWT better, although the ZZ65 shaft was on a set of i15s. I felt like they were just too light, and I couldn't get a feel for the weight.  I actually ballooned the ball with the ZZ65 to my surprise, thinking they would have a lower trajectory for me compared to the AWT shaft.  The AWT shaft I tried with the G15s, and I liked them a lot.  The trajectory was nice and high, but not too high.

Currently I'm playing a set of Snake Eye Viper irons with standard True Temper "Steel" irons (regular builder shafts).  To my surprise, I found the specs to this shaft to have a high kick point promoting a lower trajectory.  I hit the irons great, nice trajectory, even a little high maybe, although they are regular flex.  I should be using a stiff flex according to my fitting.  I like the lighter shaft of the AWT, but I was also looking into the Dynamic Gold SL shafts as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions??? I'm a little hesitant going with the AWT because I think it has a lower kick point, promoting a higher ball flight.  I'm happy with my ball flight now, and I have no trouble getting my 3 iron up in the air also.

Thx!!!

Are you getting the XG's?

Yea, I'm looking at the G10 XG's...

Are the XG's the conforming groves?  Is that the only difference with them?  I just bought a G10 3 iron to go with my I10 4-GW and noticed that it had an XG on it.
