I got a deal on some ap3 with project x 6.0 shafts.  Having real trouble hitting them. I’m a long hitter, swing fast and fast tempo. Knowing this the 6.0 should be the shaft for me.  I have no distanced with the clubs. My old burner my pw was 150.  Seems that’s about what all my clubs with ap3 go now.  Any suggestions?? Besides selling them

Maybe start out getting the specs checked, loft and lie, etc. If they are all going the same distance that might be a part of the problem. Length and swing weight also maybe. Is the ball flight low or high with the new sticks? Not sure what burner irons you are coming from but the weights may be very different from the new ones. Without seeing the clubs or your swing, that would be my suggestion to start. Also make sure you are giving the new clubs a chance. If the weights etc, are different you may just need time getting used to them.

I will be taking them for a round on course tonight.  We will see what happens.  Ball flight with new irons is low.  If same symptoms are present tonight I will be taking them and looking at a possible reshaft after I get fitted.   FOr what I paid for them I want to give them a chance.  Got a amazing deal!!

Those Burner shafts were probably lighter and higher launching compared to PX. Also I have found as a general rule Titleist irons are going to launch lower across the board even in the more forgiving models.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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.

      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?
