Shafts:

What are the main difference specifcally related to ball flight between the two shafts?  I have a big draw from playing hockey growing up and I'm looking for something to flatten my ball flight out...any suggestions?

Irons:

In the market for new irons...looking at Titleist AP2, Mizuno 52/57, and entertaining the idea of the Adams IDEA irons [gun metal in color idk model].  Any advice on those?  Currently playing with Titleist 762 DCI and liked them but they're time has run out and they just feel dead compared to when I hit one of these newer irons.

Thanks in advance!

Project X are frequency matched, while DG shafts are more swing weight based. DG will hit the ball lower than Project X at equivalent shaft stiffness. Project X Flighted will go a bit higher than that as well, but overall, through out the clubs flighted should produce very similar heights. If you have trouble hitting longer irons higher, flighted might be a good choice. I find Project X to have more feel than DG because they are not stepped.

I am not a fan of the project x shafts. I feel like I am hitting rocks with these shafts. It's like playing a blade. The DG shafts are so much more forgiving and the feel is like none other.

Got to go to the GolfWorks club fitting and assembly school a couple of weeks ago. We got some details on Project X shafts. The flighted PXs basically have three different shaft templates: a lower-kick shaft for 2-3-4, a mid-kick shaft 5-6-7, and higher kick shaft for 7 on up. Lower kick gives a little extra lift to the longer irons, and higher kick prevents short irons from ballooning.

Also, the PX 6.0 "stiff" shaft varieties tend to be a little stiffer than the DG S300 "stiff." In a related thread called "Shaft Numbers," I posted a Flex chart from GolfWRX.com which compares TT Dynamic Gold, PX (now owned by TT), and KBS shafts using Frequency Coefficient Matching (FCM). See link below:

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By JetFan1983 ·

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
