Just purchased a new set of Mizuno MP 67 with Project X 5.5/Project Rifle shafts from eBay. I used to have AP2 710 with TT S300 and I traded that in because I just didn't like the way it look at address. The new set I got has Project X 5.5 on the 9 iron and PW. The rest are shafted with Project Rifle shafts. Can you guys explained the rationale why someone would do that?? I read that shorter irons should have stiffer shafts than of longer irons. What do you guys think??? I am about 8-10 handicapper. Usually shoots around mid to high 80s. My driver swing speed is about 91

Starting multiple threads with the same question in them is hardly going to make people want to help you. Stop spamming.

You're going to need to be a little patient and wait for someone to come along who knows the difference between Project X and Project X Rifle shafts.

It might also help them if you say what the flex of the Project X Rifle shafts is.

Shane, I've never heard of a "Project Rifle" shaft.  If my memory serves me correctly (as I get older it doesn't always), Rifle is  manufacturer that originally made "Rifle" shafts and then later made Project X shafts.  Since then True Temper has purchased Rifle, so I don't think you will see the Rifle name unless its an older shaft.  I suspect that they are really the same shaft, but for whatever reason have a different shaft band.  Just my opinion

Oops, I think I made a bad too.  Precision is the manufacturer of both shafts.  They are distinct and different shafts, but I think they are very similar.  Unless you are a professional golfer I doubt the average joe would notice any difference.  Why someone would mix a set?  Maybe they were just trying different shafts for fun.  Or maybe he got frustrated and broke some clubs.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
