The MX-25 heads are already "flighted" based on the variable location of the mass so I don't know that getting flighted shafts is the best idea. I got my MX-25's with the Dynamic Gold SL shafts because I did not want the higher trajectory provided by the Dynalite SL but did want the light weight. The DGSL shafts are great!

Would you say that getting the flighted rifles on the MX-25s would be detrimental to the point of lost distance? Would the ball just balloon too much? I've been thinking about getting the MX-25s with the flighted rifles since my ball flight is relatively low. I'm using TTDG w/ Sensicore right now.

The "Project X" flighted shafts will rise to the point they're designeds to rise to, flatten out and land very softly.

If you're a flat/low ball stiker, then I think you'll really enjoy them and you will greatly benefit.

Are the Project X flighted that much better than the standard flighted shafts? Or rather, is the extra value derived worth the difference in price? Thanks.

To be honest with you I don't think that you and I, at 12's & 15's, are going to notice that much f a difference to warrant the cost of these shafts.

If you can purchase irons with these shafts already on them, like the Callaway X-20 Tours and X-forged, then it's a bonus, but I think the Dynamic Golds and many others for that matter will suit us fine. You may want another opinion, but I hope that helps.

I am also a high trajectory hitter as well. I am looking at the MX-25s, what is your swing speed? Want to see if these shafts would work well for me as well.

Man, I'm going to get grilled for this, but...

I refuse to play any make/model of any club manufacturer that has not been played on tour at some time.

I know a scratch player that plays MX-25 irons and has kicked my ass.

A regular golf playing partner of mine plays MX-17 irons and he's a good player of almost the same ability as that MX-25 dude.

IMHO, I don't notice any "eyesight" difference between the MX-25, 23, 17, and the rest of the "whatever" Mizuno "fat-iron" club selection. They be fugly.

They all look the same and are available at the same prices...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
