I was looking for something like that. Maybe I can locate the torque and kick point in there somewhere. I would probably needed a different shaft seeing the schematic. The LTD has a very accurate loft rating on that club so it might be a whole new ball game shaft wise.

Torque ranges from 4.0 on the R to 3.3 on the X with the stock shaft. Supposedly mid kick point on the R & S. Mid-high on the X.

How about a Fujikura Speeder Pro? Or Fujikura Pro 63? I think I saw Lexi Thompson with the Pro 63 (of course in the X) on hers.

My current shaft has torque of 2.9 and weight of 64 g.

Found a neat little website here: http://www.golfshaftreviews.info/index.php/project-x-driver-shaft-review/

They do testing on shafts.

The Fujikura Speeder Evolution 661 S or X is very close to the project x 7C3.

Anthony,

I've seen your swing and I would err on the stiffer side of the curve.

I thought the same when I was testing the 910 but had some distance drop off with the xs shafts. I should probably just go get fitted again to see what fits my swing now.

I reluctantly ended up getting a driver, with out testing shafts... It comes with the xs shaft and was a deal I couldn't pass on....:-P

I received the un-tested driver and took it out for a test run on the golf course tonight. The driver has the Adila Rogue Black XS shaft and I set it 7 degrees loft neutral. The shaft did feel pretty stiff but the head is super light and doesn't flex the shaft much.

The first couple of drives felt low on the face and flew about 20 yards above the ground (surprise at 7 degrees loft!). Finally connected with one on a par five. Wow did that sound awesome and felt sweet cept I couldn't see it due to hitting into the sun. I had no idea where it went but found in the middle of the fairway 262 out. After another low poor contact drive, I teed off of 18 with great contact and somewhat low trajectory but ended up just off the right of the green which was about 315 yards. I will play another round tomorrow with it and see how it goes.

Continue to struggle with my driver comfort which is typical for a new driver. I did have an amazing range session with it, set at 9.5 degrees loft. I know right now it is just me and I need to still get on a launch monitor.
