So it has been a month since i got these new irons. I haven't gamed them yet because I haven't had a decent range session. Compared to my CCi's the head is a little bigger which i thought would be a little more forgiving. however, since the shaft is different, i keep thinking thats the reason why i'm hitting inconsistantly.

I had an old demo 6 CCI forged iron that i got used with a proj x 6.0 shaft. Hit em great. just as good as my dg s300 but it had a lower ball flight (good!). so now i know it isn't the shaft

my question is. If this were you. what would you do?

1. Keep them and work through them (score is going to suffer initially)
2. Sell them and change the shaft in my current ccis? ($$$)
3. get a new set of cci with X6.0 shaft in it.
(not sure i can find new with shaft i want)
4. Sell them and keep what i have.

Please comment. If any 07' x forged users would like to talk about their experience and thoughts, that would be awesome!

I can't comment on the shafts just my experience. I went to a players iron and suffered for one year (Mizuno MP 60s). I just got my Titleist 775s and played 18 holes. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. My misses are so much better, good ones are still good. Ball flight so much higher, irons so much longer.

I am so happy to have something I feel confident about. I putted terribly and shot an 83. That is the best score I have had since July and it was cold. If I would have had the putter like I am used to, easily in the 70s.

lefty- thanks for the comment. Yeah i've been making a pretty good run this year dropping my index from 18s to high 14s. I'd really hate to be mentally defeated and call this a lost year.

I really love the ball flight of my new irons. It is great. I am hitting the 50 degree wedge 120 exactly and super high. That is what I was hitting the PW with the 60s. I am not sure if it is the lighter shaft but I gained a full club overnight and will end up making money on the exchange. (I got the 775s on ebay for 220 shipped and MP 60s are less than a year old and very nice irons)

I am just so happy that I can actually miss hit the ball and have reasonable up and ins and not a 25 yard pitch.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
