Altering the CG in a head in no way makes it "flighted".

I understand what he means, and yes, it can. Low CG in the long irons leads to a higher launch than the loft would otherwise indicate and a higher CG in the higher lofted clubs leads to a lower launch than otherwise...

You will end up spending alot of money to get a Mizuno set with PFX because they need to be custom built. By custom built I dont mean buy the irons and just replace the shafts with PXF. You need to go to a facility where they get PXF blanks. This way they can build your irons to the exact flex and swingweight you like. This can cost alot though..... more than most are willing to pay.

Everardo was going to do them for me. Yeah, perhaps a bit more expensive, but I'd know they were just about perfect, and good players - as you know - don't like to be limited by their equipment.

Now I'm beginning to think that Project X might not be a good shaft to install on. Perhaps it's better to stick with Dynamic Gold, iacas?

Not a chance. I think a +/- 0.1 tolerance is fine.

what don't you like about Dynamic gold? Is it just that it doesn't fit you personally, or you just think the quality is cheap, poorly made, too expensive, etc?

I played DG S300 for years. Virtually all of my golfing career... until last year when I got the RAC MB TPs with Rifle Flighted 6.0 shafts.

I don't dislike them - I just currently think I might like the Royal Precision offerings a little more. Even if the performance was dead even, I'd like the Rifle or PX shafts slightly more because they're stepless.

No. Back-order on the Project X shafts.

The irons arrived earlier today. I took them out, looked at them, and put them in a stand bag in my living room.

I'm surprised the project X sticker is just that - a sticker. I guess I thought it was more like painted on the shaft or something.

I'm surprised the project X sticker is just that - a sticker. I guess I thought it was more like painted on the shaft or something.

If someone sent me a set of brand new and uncut Project X shafts without the stickers and laser etched writings, I would think they're just plain steel pipes

It makes me wonder why won't PX engraves their logo just like Nippon Shaft do on their shafts. Anyway, this comes a bit too late. Have you tried True Temper Tour Concept shafts, iacas? Two weeks ago a buddy of mine bought new MP-67 and had them reshafted with TT Tour Concept S3. I had the chance to try them at the range and they were sweet. Appearance wise they're in satin matte finish and somehow look like half steel and half graphite - very exotic. Moreover, some guys at another forum implied that TC gives more feel than PX. I've already ordered a set and I can't wait for them to be paired with my MP-60.

Give us a review once you are able to hit the new clubs.

Sure. Coming right up in a few... months. Say, April 2008?

What no signature change? Good luck Erik. Hope the weather holds off or it will be very painful to look at those all winter

That's the plan. Why would I want to hit them in bad weather?
