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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
