Have any of you guys played both these iron shafts? I currently use the project x 7.0's but I'm thinking of getting new irons and may change shafts. Have high swing speeds obviously and need something similar. Always heard the x7's were comparable.

What did you find at a fitting? Have you gone to one and tested both shafts out? The combo of shaft and head will matter.

Only time I was fitted was back in 2013 but those shafts/driver etc don't work for me anymore. Actually the only time I went back and hit on a monitor with my old KBS shafts my 7 iron spin was over 10k. So I switched to project x 7.0 shafts on my own feeling and my ball flight stopped ballooning immediately. I like these shafts alot actually. My current irons are Callaway X hot Pro's and I just want to switch to something newer and wouldn't mind trying the X7's for comparison sake. Problem is none of the fitters have these shafts in stock to just try out. For reference I can go over 140 mph on driver speed so most things in stock do me no good.

Just an update, I picked up a used set of 2021 p790's and put X7's in them. So far I like them. Shafts feel good to me. Maybe little less spin than the 7.0's. Thumbs up for me. Side not the 790 heads are definitely little hotter.

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
