well, i just had a custom club fitting for my new callaway x-forged 2009 irons and the pro who did my fitting put in the 5.5 shafts.

originally, i thought that he would put in 6.0 shafts because i have a fast swing speed (around 110 with driver) but he said that 5.5 was the right shaft for me. He said that 5.5 rifle is a stiff shaft, and that most who put the 6.0's in shouldnt have them.

I dont know what my iron club speed is but i do know that i have a fast swingspeed.

Where did you go to get fitted? What kind of equipment did they use in the fitting?

There isnt much difference between the 5.5's and the 6.0. Hardly noticeable by the ametuer player.

by the pro at westchester country club. I dont know what the machines are called but he used a couple, plus he knows from experience, he has fit over 1000 people with clubs in his career history.

I think there is a huge difference, they were a lot stiffer (to me) and ball flight didn't seem as true, I hit them much lower than the 5.5. even when I tried to hit them high.

I think I could work the 6.0's better than the 5.5, but that could have been in my head...

For what it's worth I was fitted with PX 5.0. My swing speed is ~80-85mph with Irons and ~95-100mph with the driver.

Based on my swing speed and shafts in my old irons (ping 13 blade with JZ stiff), the fitter said I could go with 5.5. However, since I have a smooth tempo, he recommended going with the 5.0.

Having said all that, I'm still not as comfortable with the PX 5.0 shafts as I was with my Ping JZ shafts. Not only is my ball flight higher, I've sacrificed distance and feel.

Currently toying with the idea of a re-shaft.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
