I am considering having X7's put in my pw-6i. 

I use x100's currenltly but the shorter clubs have a tendency to baloon if i go full out. I have the power for them from what i can tell, my PW carries 155 and my driver club speed is around 123mph. However nobody i have spoke to has even heard of these shafts including club fitters and tour pro's. It seems Jason Day os the only guy on tour with them in and he has them in pw-5iron and has had for 2 years. I read somewhere that if you are powerful enough then they would noticably tighten shot dispersion without sacrificing length due to a more penetrating flight. My current ballflight with my x100's is pretty high

Anybody tried these? Or could shine some light on them.

Seem very comparable to X100 - weight is 2g heavier. They say the spin is lower (low v medium) than the X100. Both tout the low flight spiel.

Like you, I still hit a high ball with a full follow-thru, even after changing to the heavier X100 this season. Maybe they don't balloon so to speak, but I can only imagine what you mean.

If it were me, I wouldn't see the X7 as much of a change from your current set-up.

Yes not much difference in weight but they have  a bigger diameter then the x100 which would help them alot stiffer and able to take more load. I can only see them having a positive effect and it wont cost that much to trial in a few shafts so ill just go ahead and try them out. Ill report back. I will compare the too on the trackman

Just an update.

Put the dynamic gold x7's into my irons last week.

Big imrpovement on the x100's for me. No loss of distance and a much nicer flight and noticably tighter dispersion. Great solid feeling at impact with them too

    • Love resurrecting this thread! The float-load feel bit and then the old video I think from Mike on how to hit low and high chips were the kickstart to my short game journey, where I play well below my handicap (officially 9.x right now, via arccos I only lose 1 stroke per round to a scratch golfer in my short game). I've spent lots of time with float-load and I can be a sniper inside ~40 yards with my GW and 60*. But I actually just started trying a version of this for like ~40-70 yard shots! 70-115 I have a like hands to belly button height stock partial swing shot that I hit with SW-9i dialed.
    • Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%.  Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time.  Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more. 
    • My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
    • Day 3: Worked on putting at different distances focusing on matching the backswing and follow-through lengths.
