anyone know them or where to find them?
I am considering buying a new VR Tour Driver but want to knwo the specs of these new shafts

not sure which shaft to be choosing, as I cant hit them here (limited quanitities)
I hit a 5.5 and this was waaaay to flimsy for me
has me thinking, is 6.0 even enough

I have a smooth tempoed swing w an average of 103mph (measured again today)
I expect to pick up a few mph as i havent swung much all winter

I am thinkning 6.5, BUT i want to know the specs on this driver...such as torque, kickpoint and launch
the website is kinda vague

thanks for your help

i agree their website is terrible.

I don't know which version comes in the VR tour but generally they are pretty low torque with a high kickpoint and a low launch. Titleist shows the 7B2 at a 3.0 torque rating. I don't have any other exact numbers but it's maybe one of the lowest spinning shafts out there. I bought a Nike 3 wood with the 8A3 shaft in 7.0 flex and it was very stiff and my SS is 115ish on average. I had to go really hard at it to get the ball to turn over, I sold the 3 wood because swinging really hard at a 3 wood does me no good and I need to keep that thing as straight as possible. I would expect that you are right on the borderline of 6.0/6.5 and it would depend on how you want the shaft to feel. If you like to feel the shaft kick a little bit go with 6.0 and if you like a stiffer feeling shaft go with 6.5. I think 5.5 would be R flex, 6.0 is S and 6.5 would be X.

I would like to know how it performs in the driver in a lighter weight because I think it would actually be a good shaft for me if I could find the right weight and stiffness.

I am essentially looking for a low spinning, high KP, low torque shaft - very similar to the one I play now

I fight a high launch angle w the driver and this shaft helps keep it low according to the PJX website, this shaft should do this...... I think you are right w the boarder of 6.0/6.5....i sure wish i could test them, but i can't I like to swing my driver......if i have to go at it a little, this is better for me i might not have a 110+ SS like you, but i still like to swing at it!! haha! and if i am pying $250+ for this driver, I dont want to be in another $100 for a shaft the current shaft I have wont work in the VR as, the 907 is a bore through design also considering the 909D3...w the stock voodoo shaft (it alsmost the exact specs of my GD Aura RED) i was recordning liker 9.6-9.8 launch angle and had a good amount of roll - more than now this is what I like to see

found this on the WRX site

7B3-6.5 PJX, Weight-76gms, Stiff
6B7-6.5 PJX, Weight-69gms, Stiff

they dont rate an x-stiff until the 8A4 PJX 7.0

The "stiff" there is only referring to the tip stiffness of that particular shaft. So don't get confused there and order the wrong thing. The 7.0 8A3 I had only said "stiff" on it and it was the stiffest shaft I've ever hit. I think in theory the 5.5/6.0/6.5 rating are supposed to matcy their iron profiles.

BTW - I'm not a fitting expert but I'm pretty sure a 9.6-9.9 launch angle is low. You may want to try that driver in a higher loft so you can optimize distance. If I were you I'd try and call Project X and see if you can get some help there or just maybe call an club fitting place that sells the Project X Graphite and see if you can pick their brain.

thats the crappy thing about where i live

the "locals" at Golf Town arent exactly the most knowledgeable dudes......... there is no "contact us" on the PJX site either I found a pretty good spec sheet as well from WRX, but cant post it for some reason I THINK the new VR tour's come stock w the 6B7-6.5 Stiff......seems to fit right

I have the same problem here, I'll usually find an online club fitter that sells premium shafts and email or call them when I need info.

Good luck with your driver search.

The 5.5 I would say you would class as "firm". The graphite numbers are pretty indicative of the steel iron no's. I tried the Vr with a 6 PX, my ss is 111 give or take and it was maybe even a little soft, it seemed to balloon sometmes. I would think the 6 should be about perfect for your ss. I'm not sure about kickpoints etc it doesn't say anything on the shaft, its just the same as the iron except its blue!

I think thi sis about right. I hit the VR with Project X 6.5 and it seemd just right, similar to the voodoo X I ended up going with.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
