Im confused... Please Help!!

Hi All,

I went yesterday to get some new irons at the Golf Mart in South San Francisco. I currently play r7's with PX 5.0 shafts. I've been playing them for about 4 years and I think it's time to make an upgrade. I'm happy with how I hit my irons, my distances are:

P 135

9 145

8 155

7 165

6 170-175

5 180-185

4 190-195

After trying some clubs I decided to go with a mix of the new TaylorMade forged irons, MC and CB. The question is, if I should stick with the PX 5.0 or go for 5.5. I found out later that they don't put PX 5.0 into these clubs. I hit the clubs at the store with the 5.5 and felt good, but I'm not sure if I'm going to have a hard time with these shafts.

How different are they from the 5.0, do you think I would have a problem with the 5.5 considering my distances and swing speed (88-93 average)?

Thank you!!

Have you been fitted to find out which PX shaft is the best one for you?

Like BigAl said, go get fitted. The PX 5.0 is a bit stiffer than the DG R300, so take it from there.

Also, if you custom-ordered the mixed set, would they put in 5.0 if your requested it? I'm sure they can get the shafts.

I got fitted for the px5.0 4 years ago. I´m striking the ball better and further now but I´m not sure if I should stick with the same shaft. I will get fitted tomorrow and will get an answer.

For some reason, TM is not selling these irons with 5.0, that´s what I was told at the store and if you try to custom-order from golfsmith.com the options are 5.5 and up.

Thanks

At those distances, the 5.5 would likely be fine.   I'd have a fitter verify though if you can.
