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

    • Never had a real lesson in the short time I’ve been playing; however, I play with a lot of really good golfers and even a few pros in my area. They give me feedback when I ask, but I’d appreciate any and all critiques. I used to have a very flat swing they resulted in a pull draw. I’ve been working on getting my hands higher while keeping the draw.  I've been Playing Golf for: 2y 10m My current handicap index is: 0.1 My typical ball flight is: Draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull draw Videos:     
    • Day 75 - 2024-12-14 Hit balls after Junior Elite. Checked out a few of the holes on an old version of Tobacco Road.
    • I’ve had a particularly wild golf journey, and I’m not sure anyone else has ever accomplished the feat I have. I don’t say that lightly. I just don’t know anyone who has gotten as good as I am in a shorter time frame.   I started playing golf a little over two and a half years ago (21 at the time). Never picked up a club before I got a job at course near my college. They were hiring, and I was broke. I had no intention to actually take up the sport, not until I met my coworker. He played d3 golf for another college near by, and he taught me everything I know. When we first started playing together, he would give me 20 strokes and play for lunch the next day. It took me almost a year to beat him. Two years later, he was only give me 4 strokes. And now, we are dead even. This week I am 24, and I am now a scratch golfer. By that, I mean my handicap index is 0.1. At my home course, I am a +2. I’ve shot 67 twice two weeks (-15 in 4 rounds, 67 70 69 & 67). Many of the guys I play with agree that I am the most improved golfer at the club, now and ever. Last week, I had the pleasure of playing with 4 golf professionals, all been golfing their entire lives, and I beat three and tied the fourth.    Have any of y’all made that kind of improvement in such a small time span? Seriously, I want to know if it’s more common than I think. If I continue on this trajectory, I may try Q school.    Any tips for how I might try to get to the next level? Never played high school and never played college. 
    • Day 225 (14 Dec 24) - Son called and invited me to play nine with and grandson.  We head to the local course - temps in the mid-50’s, N-NE wind 10-15 mph (hurting going out, helping coming in) as the course pretty much runs N-S on both nines.  Highlight of the round - grandson chips in for par on the 1st hole.  My play was much better to today-five pars, four bogies for a solid 40. Course management as it relates to the wind was key. 4 of the 5 pars were up and down saves as the green side pitches/chips were the ticket.   Have to say it was neat playing with my son and grandson and seeing the love of the game continue….
