thank you, i was choosing whether to get black golds or project x's. But my friend fitted me and said I should be playing the X-7's. I dont think black golds or project x's go that stiff or equivalent to, so these are the only ones.

what kind of swing, and swing speed do you have? I am getting new clubs and am probably going with X100 shafts. I have a 6 iron swing speed of 95-100 and my driver swing speed is around 110-115 on a normal swing. My swing is also fast tempo. I had played S400 for years, and just had a set with S300 but would loose the ball left and right on what I felt was good swings. Every chart tells me I need X shafts, but unlike most I am hesitant to step up to a stiffer shaft.

actually, my swing is pretty similar to yours. My 6-iron swing speed is about 100-110 and my driver swing speed is about 115-120. I also have a quick tempo. I used to have s300's in my irons and I've used those ever since i started playing golf. Recently I have also been feeling the ball leak to the left or right. Then I asked my friend to fit me and he suggested i play the x7's. You definitely consider moving up to X shafts. Or just get fitted and see what they say. Good luck

Project X's can be made as stiff as you need them, it just cost a little more to have them made. I think the stiffest set I have seen were 6.9, but they can be made stiffer. Not sure about the black golds though.

I went and did a fitting today, and now I am more confused. The guy suggested S400 which are heavier, maybe for a better tempo. I look on both True Tempers fit website, Rifles site, and compare my yardages to others that play x shafts, and everything single one I look at say I should be playing x shafts, but then when I get swing speed tested the guys at the shop (did it at two different places now) say to stick with s300-400. Confused. I think I am going to start a new thread asking this question for some input.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
