So i was demoing the x forged irons at golf galaxy with the 5.5 flighted and was constantly hitting them good like 143ish carry, slight suck back then sit at like 140. I was wondering if then I should get the 6.0, because if i hit the PW 140, then 9 150 8 160 7 170 6 180 would put me right into the 6.0s specs, but i hit the 5.5 so well and straight idk what to do. Help, also please chime in on my forged iron wear thread!
Thanks!

I always opt for a tick less stiff than is necessary due to the fact that a smoother more balanced swing with natural torque in the shaft is better than a quicker, jerkier, and swifter swing that attempts to force more torque in the shaft.

I've hit the x-20's in 5.5 flighted and that went about 155. I think you should be getting a 6.0 with your distances.

I had a similar experience...Few Months ago I went to Roger Dunn for a Mizuno MP 57 fitting. During the mizuno fitting, my average swing speed was 86 and I normally hit the 6 iron 185 yards. (During this time, I was playing mp-33 with DG-R300 Sensicore.) Based on the data Roger Dunn recommended 5.5 Project X. Then I went to the Project X website and saw the below chart(attached) and I thought: "Hey, Roger Dunn was wrong." Without thinking twice I ordered the clubs with the 6.0's. The ball flight was lower, which I liked, but I lost 15 yards! I immediately felt I made the wrong choice. I thought about returning it and getting the 5.5 but decided to keep it. I did hit it more consistent. I guess all is good except I can't explain the loss of yardage. Sorry st0wgolf08, I was trying to help but I think I ended up asking for help...

Yeah idk I might just go to the 6.0 for the more control, but it appears to fit me. I dont really care about iron distance, as I'm not someone who has to impress people with what club they are hitting.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
