Hi. I'm after some shaft advice. I currently have 2 project x shafts I'm using but looking for something in between. I've got the project x 7c3 stiff which when I hit it I tend to get an occasional slice with and no hook  also have the project x pxv stiff which I do opposite with and occasionally hook it but no slice. Obviously I'm looking for something between the 2 then. I'm quite a quick tempo swinger and hit drives about 280+. I know custom fit is way to go but can't afford it. Was looking at 2nd hand 915 d2 so what shafts would you recommend please? Thanks

I would find out from these sites where the two shafts you've tried fit. Golf Works tests the shafts and categorizes them using the code. You can get an idea of what you want from that then look for a driver with that shaft. The last link is kind of a shaft fit guide.

Why not try a $10 solution first? Get the Project X pxv shaft regripped with an extra wrap of tape. See if that takes away the occasional hook before you spend quite a bit more on a new shaft. Just a thought.

A second thought would be, get a fitting. Is a fitting going to cost you any more $$/time than a hit-and-miss bid to find the ideal shaft in the used market?

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
