Hogan Apex 5 shafts on 1998 Apex clubs

Hi Hogan-fans,

 

how does an Apex 5 x stiff shaft from 1998 (on Apex 1999) play compared to up-to-date stiff shafts? Should be a shaft Spalding made or bought...

 

I currently practice with Apex 4 shafts on clubs from 1988 and my 6i travels the same distance than the stronger lofted 2006 Apex 3 6i.

 

Is x stiff from 1998 todays stiff? Like the old 7i loft is todays 8i loft? 

 

And yes, I do not know my swing speed...

Here we are again with data for the 6 iron from a TrackMan Range, hit about 10 each with heavy range balls at -2 degrees C (25 F). Distance is completely off, due to range balls, but Pro tells me that the spin should be close to the real values. Hit club no. 1 not that good in the beginning.

 

Club 1: Apex Redline (1988), steel stiff shaft Apex 4, 33,5 degrees

Club 2: Apex Blade (1999), steel x stiff shaft Spalding Apex 5, 32,5 degrees

Club 3: Apex 50th (2003), steel Rifle Flighted 6.0 shaft, 32,5 degrees

Club 4: Apex ftx (2006), steel regular shaft Apex 3, 30 degrees

 

According to these stats, would the club 2 shaft be my choice?
