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.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

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

    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
