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

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
