Rifle Project X in wedges

[asianpsuation]

i know theres a couple threads on project x shafts, and while weve beaten the hell outta this topic, ive got one more question. I have a SW that came with a proj. x shaft (5.5) in it. Is this a mistake because the shaft is a low launch, low spin shaft? (i dont find it to be particuarly bad but i cant really tell this kinda stuff)

It depends on what you want out of your wedges. I have a set of Sonartec t35 wedges (52, 56 & 60) all with Project X shafts. I choose them as an experiment but found out I like the stiff feeling and lower ball flight in my wedges, I tend to hit the ball higher anyways so it was a good fit for me.

That being said I also have Rifle Spinners installed in another set of Sonartec t35 wedges and also like the feeling of these.....different strokes for different days and courses.

ya thanks for the info. i dont mind the lower ballflight at all, what im really wondering is what happens to the spin. I spin the vokeys just fine, but im wondering if say a rifle spinner would help to spin the ball more cuz proj.x is a low spin shaft..

I agree with Everardo. I have had both and liked them both. I did not notice less spin with the PXs but I ultimately favored the Spinners. Now I have a new set up Mizuno MP-Rs with 5.5 Spinners and they are the best wedge I have had. I know it was luck but I had 2 shots go in the hole last Saturday with my 58 from around 20-30 yards out. I also had 2 others I got up and down from very tough spots. I am pretty sure I was just having a good day but it does inspire confidence in your equipment when you can do that.

Bidding for MP 32's with Project X 6.5's. Never had rifles. What would equivalent shaft be in DG? I've had S300 before. Would the 6.5 be WAY too stiff. Driver swing speed is around 110-115. Hit a low trajectory with slight draw. 5 iron for 185, pw for 135. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

6.5 is really stiff esp. in project x. 5.5 in px is about s-300, and px usually play stiffer than labeled. unless u seriously kill the ball id go for like 5.5-6.0 (s-300/s-200). so 6.5 is prolly like x-100 at least prolly a little stiffer
