I have a set of Mizuno MP32's with the DG S300. I am wanting to change shafts partly because of the reviews I am getting from the Black Gold users. My question to you all is have you tried this shaft compared to the other two I mentioned in the title? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't hit the black gold shafts in any clubs, but the Project X shafts have given me a more reliable trajectory and better feel than the DG S300 I had previously in my MP-32's. IMO, the Project X shafts are better.

I love the Black Gold Shafts! They are great. I tried the project x as well and they felt pretty good, but the black golds felt better to me personally. The project x(6.0) had the same stiff flex, but they felt a little too "hard" and not as responsive as the BG's.

Lemay, I dont know that the black golds will give you lower ball flight. I for one, hit the ball fairly high with these shafts, but obviously were not the same so I dont know how they would work for you. I would recommend black golds to anyone! very good shafts!

The Black Golds will fly a touch higer than DG's... but not much. For me the Black Golds feel the best of the three... The project X are nice shafts, similar ball flight to the Black Golds, just not as good of a feel.

-just my opinion

i've only hit the black gold in the adams idea pro irons and as mentioned there is more feel to them then the project x but for feel i prefer DG. All project x shafts feel dead to me and hence that is why i prefer either s300 or x100. The other problem with project x and black gold is that i already get enough height on my shots and as such i find that in the PX and BG my shots go higher than i would like to see.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
