Is an X100 for project X 6.5 more stiff?

[Hokie2k5]

We just had a Titleist Demo day and of course they didn't have the 6.5 in a demo for me to try. But my ball flight was much better with the X100 than anything else. I like the feel of the Project X better.

Any recommendations?

Have you tried the Black Gold shaft? They are pretty comparable to the Project X, might want to give them a try. I use those instead of the Project X because they had a more responsive feel and the higher trajectory. IMO, they are pretty close in weight, but the Project X's feel a touch stiffer.

I've never hit the black gold but I think I have the opposite problem as you. I hit my irons really high as is, and I'm trying to knock the ball flight down. It went way down at the demo day when i hit the X100....I just didn't nearly like the feel as much as the project X.

I'm just trying to get the feel of the project X and the flight of the X100. I ended up ordering the non-flighted project X (satin colored) because they are supposed to have a much lower ball flight than the flighted one. We'll see.

I'm interested in getting one of these shafts also - I've hit the non-flighted Project X 6.5 (on an AP2) and really liked it. Great penetrating ball flight with a 6-iron. I have the same problem - hit it way too high. Considered the Flighted but I think the non-flighted would better suit me.

I'm interested to know which would suit me as I will be trying the Project X again this evening. Just a question on the satin coloured shaft - is that the dull metal finish as opposed to a bright shiny chrome colour?

Yeah, the non-flighted version is the satin colored and the flighted ones are the chrome like normal steel shafts.

Let me know what you like when you hit the Project X's tonight.
