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).

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
