Shaft Comparison

[hypergolf]

I will be getting a new set of iron and a driver soon. I am kind of having trouble choosing shafts so need help from you guys.

1. Is Project X Flighted 6.0 comparable to stiff flex in dynamic gold? Or Project X Flighted 5.5 more on the similar side?

2. Will be getting FT-5 Tour Draw. Is the stock shaft, Fujikura E360 Stiff, comparable to UST Proforce V2 Stiff in terms of ball flight and every thing else? I was recommended by the club fitter to use V2 but if E360 is quite similar I don't have to wait for a long time to get the V2 shaft.

Thanks in advance.

There's a great comparison of the Project X and other iron shafts in this post by gas_can. He'd seem to suggest 5.5 is most like DG S300. I'd suggest trying them out if you can, they definitely have a different feel and trajectory (which didn't suit me at all when I demoed them.)

Dont do what I did. I bought a G5 from a large golf franchise(wont name any names) and had them fit me. Well the retard who did the fitting put me in the exact wrong shaft for me. On his launch monitor it showed me hitting slight draws with it. So it looked good to me. Well I got it out on the golf course and sliced the living daylight outta this thing. Played with it for 5 months and could not hit it straight no matter what I did. So went to a different place and got hooked up with a Pro launch blue. The second guy said that the guy who fitted me had no idea what he was doing. I guess the first guy didnt change the machine to lefty or something. Havent got it out on the course yet but from the readings on his monitor my sidespin rates came way down on good swings. Just be carefull when they fit you. If it doesnt seem right get a second opinion.

It was done by Titleist Pro Coach/Fitter at the driving range with launch monitor that was hooked up to his computer. So we could see the actual ball flight. He said since I hit the ball high I needed a shaft that needed to lower my ball flight. He gave me Cobra F Speed with Proforce V2 65 gram Stiff Flex (My swing speed came out to 105 mph on his computer) and lauching it at 12.7 degrees with 9.5 degree club head. However, I prefer the distance of Callaway FT-5 Tour so planning to get the Callaway head with Proforce shaft in it. Just want to know if Fuji E360 has similar characteristic to V2.... Anyone?

You sound like you have the same problem I did. At my fitting I was getting too much spin/high launch. I was fitted with the proforce v2 stiff/ft-5 draw and I love it. Lowered spin and ball flight has a really good feel. The callaway fitter had me try several stiif shaft and the V2 gave em the best result along with a good feel.

BTW, swing speed was 98 for me.
