I am a high ball hitter and would like to know if new shafts in my irons would help me lower my ball flight. My irons are Mizuno MX-25's W/ the original dynalite gold S300 shafts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer. I have read that I would lose some spin on the ball with the Project X's. Is this true or will I still be able to stop the ball quickly?

I have project x in my mp57... when they hit the green... the dont move. If you want to lower your ball flight... dont get the flighted version.

By design, the Dynalite Gold is a high ball flight shaft. If you are comfortable with the S-300 flex, you may want to try the original Dynamic Gold in the same flex. It is designed for a lower flight. It will be a little heavier, but it should lower the flight. Plus, it should be easy to find a demo or a friend that has this shaft that you can try. If you prefer a lighter shaft then try the Dynamic Gold SL. The Project X is another option, but in my opinon, it is completely different than hitting a Dynamic Gold. I didn't like it, but many people do.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Hmmm, you may want to get you club lofts checked. If you are approx. 6' or taller you will normally hit a high ball. I have PX 5.0's in my Mizuno's and really like em, of course I like my Black Golds and my DG 300 R's--all have been spined. The KB tours mite help; they were designed by the same guy who designed the PX shaft. They are a little softer in the butt and a little stiffer in the tip. I don't have a problem with the ball sitting down on the green from >150 out, but I'm 6'2" so thats my normal shot.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
