I am now considering either 1150gh stiff or 1050gh, hard-stepped. Would the 1150 stiff play slightly firmer than the 1050 stiff or just heavier?

Very good question. This electronic stuff is all new to me. I guess it was a simulator - I think. It was the big screen at golf galaxy that displays your shot vis-a-vis computer graphics and also tells you your ball speed, carry distance, and shot distance. I was just a little surprised how light the 1050 was.

What was the swingweight of the club? The two shafts you are comparing, the PX and the Nippons, have a weight difference of ten grams. I'm not sure how much of a difference that is for you.

What you might want to try is finding a fitter near you that has both the PX and Nippons with the same iron head and same swingweight. Only then will you be able to tell a difference.

FWIW, I have played with both the Nippon and PX. The Nippons, being somewhat a flighted shaft, give me a higher ballflight with the 5I and 6I, which I was seeking. I still believe, though, that the PX is a better, overall shaft.

Actually, I was looking at Rifle Tour Flighted 5.5 shafts not the Project X. The PX felt way to boardy to me.

      Hybrids

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
