Hello everyone. New to the Trap and need to ask a question about the shaft above. A friend of mine has this shaft full length uncut and will sell it for next to nothing. I have a 910 D3 and D2 head that I switch a MFT Kal'i 65 between depending on conditions and how I feel that day. Looking for another shaft that is comparable to the Kal'i. I know this is an OEM shaft, but I am wondering if it will hold up to my swing and if anyone has any info on how this shaft performs. Any info is appreciated.

Swing speed 108 Quick / harsh transition.

Are the shafts of comparable stiffness and weight? 108 is pretty close to the barrier between stiff and x-stiff. Maybe someone will have some insight as to whether the PX shaft plays whippier or stiffer than it's rated.

The red Project X shafts were made for the X Hot drivers, designed to be mid-launch and low spin. Probably similar weight, might be a little lighter than the Diamana. Tough to find info on the Project X PXv red.

I put the rip 60 in my 910. The lower torque really was eye opening as it was the first shaft I experience a lower torque in, at the same flex I had been using. At 108, you most certainly are not average, and shafts that are on stocker clubs I would think you find whippy and hard to control. If the torque numbers on those shafts you are considering are up around 4, I dont think you would find them different from any others you discarded. The problem I would have in telling anybody a shaft would suit, is really the same. That being how you like to close back to square will most assuredly be effected by the torque and that can be a very nuanced situation. It is true though that you might not have THE perfect shaft in changing something like torque, but you will know if you are going the right direction after you play it enough to settle into your natural rythms and see its shot production.

I am in the area of borderline stiff to xstiff swing swing speed. I have a project X 7C3 in a D3 and it is a great shaft. It really brought my ball flight down and has awesome feel. I recommend trying one out.

Thanks for the input. Both shafts are a stiff one 60 the other 65. I have played the Ahina 72 and the 7C3. Both of these shafts I struggled with in dispersion, flight, and lost distance. Bought the Kal'i on a whim and dispersion and distance is back. It is mid lauch, mid spin, 45" and a 4.2 torque. Just thinking that the mid / mid is helping by getting the ball up, and keeping it up longer. Even with the high torque the Kal'i still feels very stable to me. Just seeing if anyone has had experience with the Project X pvx red as I would like to have two shafts that I could change between the D2 and D2. Any further information will be greatly appreciated.

As for your current shaft, possibly you mean the Mitsubishi Diamana Kai'li with MDI technology?

Here is the 2014 site: http://www.mitsubishirayongolf.com/product.php?cmd=ndia_kaili〈=en

Your description from second post:

I'm having trouble finding any Kai'li shafts with your above specs; as per Mitsu site, most Kai'li are in this range: S or X flex, 64 grams, with 3.4 torque (low torque), Firm tip stiffness,  and a mid-high kickpoint (lower launch).

The PXv Red you mention was made specifically for the X Hot drivers, so you probably won't find data in the Project X online site. The Callaway 2013 Product Booklet (spiral-bound) gives the following:

Project X Velocity | XHot Driver

Flex

Weight

(grams)

Torque

Kick

Point

Light

53

Mid

Low

Regular

57

Mid

Mid

Stiff

58

Mid

Mid

Thus, the PX v Red would fit fairly closely to the specs of the shaft you described in your second post.

I am concerned about how light the PXv would be... seemingly not the shaft for you at 108 MPH clubhead speed.

And, how did your friend get an uncut PXv Red shaft? These aren't available through components catalogs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

Understand what mid torque is. Roughly a scale of 2-6, but 8 gets claimed on the crazy high side... Thats nuts. A 2 degree torque is capable of being 4 degrees off, get it? -2 or +2. Mid torque, at 4 is thus +/-8 degrees. Now if its a rifle at 100 yards, thats about an inch per degree. So look down from the tee 300 yards and move your sight 8x3 inches to the right or left and see if you are gonna hit the friggin cart girl. AND RTR!

The Kal'i shaft I have is a made for Titleist shaft. On the site it states that it is mid / mid with a 4.2 torque. I am just going by the info on Titleist site. As for the Project X red my buddy got this shaft off of Diamond Tour golf at 46". It states it is a mid / mid shaft at 3.7 torque. I did pick the shaft up and will be taking it to my club fitter to have it prepped. I plan to let him trip it how he thinks is best where the 910 will play at 45". I will update all of you when I get some time with the shaft. In the mean time thanks for all of the information and hit them long and straight.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
