Anyone play this shaft in their irons? What do you like about it, how does it suit your game? Would also be good if you could post your specs such as swing speed, what type of swinger are you etc! I tried XP95 R300 recently but felt it was a bit too light so im sure the XP105 would best suit me. Please share your thoughts! Thanks

I had the same issue with R300, so I went to the R400. I LIKE the R400. I am supposed to hit the s300 according to the fitters, but when I use accelerometers on my clubs during a practice round, the speeds show the R400/S200 swingspeed range. This is real typical for me, swinging inside the max speed I could make. I never really seem to NEED a wide open tempo, I will club up. I think you should be careful and study ball flight. Those xp105s are high flight. That means low bend typically, which may chang some things. Perhaps you can find a mid bend, something neither too high nor too low, so that you have sticks that are pretty good at all kinds of shots not just low or high. Another subtle thing is whether the bend profile of your long sticks yield the same ball flight as your irons. It can be hard to track, but I have seen guys that favor low bend sets (graf blue D through wedges) look for drivers without success because the flight was wrong but they didnt know why.

I just picked up a set of AP2s with XP 95 Stiff.  They feel a lot like my NS Pro 950GH stiff but launch a bit higher and feel a little smoother on the handle end.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
