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.)
Cleveland - HiBore XL (9.5* Fuji Fit-On Gold Stiff)
Bobby Jones/Jesse Ortiz - 3W & 21* H3 (Stock Stiff)
Ben Hogan - Apex FTX 4-FW (Apex 4 shafts)
TaylorMade - rac TP 56.12 satin & 60.6 black
Scotty Cameron - Mil-Spec Newport 2 (33" standard)

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.

In the bag:
Driver- Ping g5
Cobra ss 3 wood
Adams 21deg. 7 wood
Cobra s9 irons 4-gw Cleveland 56 and 60 deg cg 10 wedges Nike Oz mallet. The first one.

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.

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?

      Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄

      Bryson DeChambeau Videos

      I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.

      So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
