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?

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
