Comparable shafts to Poject x lz 6.0

[CameronJ]

I recently got fitted and want to buy a set of irons online to save some money (preferably eBay, something used but in good shape). I hit the Poject X LZ 6.0 in a few different irons and achieved the ball flight I am looking for. However, I need +1/2" length and 2 degrees flat which really narrows my search. Are there some other shafts that would be comparible that I could consider to help broaden my search?

Thanks

I'm not sure how different shaft types would help you get what you want.

The LZ 6.0 could be extended a half inch at the factory, and the 2* flat would be a bend to the club hosel... not really related to shaft type.

And, what specifically "narrows my search" ?

Sorry, I should have explained myself a little better. I am not wanting to buy new from the factory. I'm looking on eBay, or 2nd swing. there aren't a lot of options that are 1/2 long and 2 degrees flat, so if I had a couple other shaft options that were similar, it would help. 

Im sure I'll have to end up getting a standard set and taking them somewhere to get them extended and the lie changed.

@CameronJ,

The PX 6.0 LZ stands for Loading Zone. The LZ version has a stiffer tip and butt than standard PX shafts, with internal microsteps which allow more flexing or "loading" in the midshaft area. According to video clips and PX materials, this gives decent launch, slightly lower ball flight and higher spin than standard PX.

I stopped by a golf shop at lunchtime, and talked to one of their fitters about the LZ comparison, and similar shafts. He gave two.

• TT Dynamic Gold AMT.
• Nippon Modus 105. The fitter plays this shaft. He has trouble getting the ball up with irons, and he says the Modus gives good launch and spin without ballooning the ball.

On my own, I found data on the KBS shafts. The KBS 105, designed to split the difference between the KBS Tour and KBS Tour 90, appears to have similar performance to the LZ.

As for your fitting specs, Callaway Preowned had this:

Apex CF16 irons 4-PW for about $1,000 w/
 Aerotech Steel Fiber i110 Graphite / 2* Flat (Red) / +1/2 inch

Don't know if shaft and irons will work for you...

This is just the information I was looking for, thank you!
