Going from AP3 in AMT Black to jpx919 forged with DG105 s300. Wondering how similar the shafts will be.

I don’t know that anyone can give you a definitive answer. It depends so much on your swing now, how fast you swing, your shaft lean at impact, your rhythm and tempo determines how much and when the shaft loads and unloads, etc.

You can look up the weights, the spin profiles, the launch characteristics… and get a rough idea of the difference between the two.

DG will be a lower launching shaft in general and will be constant weight vs. the progressive weighting of the AMT Black. That being said, I would be very surprised if you see much difference in these shafts.

Sounds like you are switching heads also, so that will make it even more difficult to determine what differences the shafts are presenting as the heads will impart the largest changes.

Yep, I am definitely seeing a lower ball flight. Most of my shots with the forged clubs feel thin but they aren't losing much distance. 

Probably will take some time to get used to the new shafts.

This is exactly right. You will need some time (few hundred balls) to get used to the new shafts. One reason I don't love the modern fitting session. Five swings with 5 different shafts doesn't really tell you how you will hit each shaft. It only tells you how your body immediately reacts to a given shaft when coming from something different.
