Questioning my iron shafts

[Tate24]

I recently purchased a set of MP 64's with Project X 5.5 shafts. I've played MP 62's with Project X 6.0's and JPX 825 pro's with X100 Dynalite XP shafts in the past. Didn't notice much of a height difference with the dynalite shafts which were supposed to be a higher ball flight. I have noticed that with the Project X 5.5's I'm hitting the ball a lot higher than I did with the 6.0's and X100 which I had more of a penetrating to low ball flight. The reason why I went to the 5.5's is because I felt that I was unable to make a smooth swing or 3/4 swing with with the stiffer shafts without them felling stiff.I haven't noticed any real loss of distance but I find that my ball sticks a lot better on the green then with the previous shafts which I'd usually get roll and had problems sticking on the green at times. I usually find my ball approximately two feet or less from my divots on the green, not getting much roll. My concern is wether the ball is ballooning or not?

Does it look like the ball is ballooning when it's in the air?

[Tate24]

It seems to just fall after it hits it's peak, the problem is I don't know what a ballooning shot would look like. I haven't noticed any lost of distance from my previous irons only that the new ones I hit much higher.

[mvmac]

Higher doesn't mean the ball is ballooning, just that the it's launching higher. If you haven't lost any distance then it's probably fine.

Ballooning would be were you see the ball "rise" in the air. It take off on one trajectory and keeps getting higher and higher.

[Tate24]

Ok, yeah sounds like I don't the way you described it, thanks!

Yep

The bottom line is the ballooning, starts off very low and rises up sharply about 1/3 to 1/2 way out.

The top line is a high launch low spin. It might actually look higher, just because it starts off higher. Overall you can end up with very similar max heights on the two shots.

Notice how much further the top line goes. It carries about as far as the ballooning shot, and rolls out farther because it actually has a shallower entry angle to the ground and less spin.

trackman is your friend here.

But if your not losing distance i think your fine.

hit it hard hit it high because there no bunkers in the sky.
