I have a question about the Project X 6.0 driver shaft. I have a high swing speed with my driver (120-128) and have been using an old Nike SQ 8.5 head coupled with an old Harrison 2.5 PRO shaft for about 5 years. I tend to spin the ball a lot off the tee and the Harrison has always done a good job of controlling that for me. Well, my Dad recently won a Nike VR 9.5 driver with the Project X 6.0 shaft. Since he already has a similar model he decided to send the new driver my direction. Unfortunately, I won't be able to hit the driver for a couple more weeks. I have been reading and also talking to some folks about these VR heads. From the sounds of things, these heads tend to spin the ball a lot less than other heads on the market, so I'm not too concerned about going from a 8.5 to a 9.5 loft. I am more concerned about the 6.0 shaft being too soft. That being said, are there any folks out there with high swing speeds who have had experience hitting the Project X 6.0, 6.5 or 7.0 shafts? I have been told the 6.5 and 7.0 versions felt awful compared to the 6.0, but have not personally hit either of them. Obviously once the new driver arrives, I will compare it to my current setup at my local fitting center. Until then, any feedback from folks with similar swing speeds who have hit the 6.0, 6.5 or 7.0 would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
    • I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
