re: Iron shaft discussion

There were lots of things that my fitting from Buddha that were confusing as you all know. I did trust his knowledge but to be honest I’d be lying if i said i knew that much about the technology etc that warranted his recommendations. He did say with me swinging that kind of speed that I’d have a hard time there were only about 3-4 shaft options that he would even consider putting me in. There was also a modus shaft he thought may be good but these provided the best combo decent launch and spin #s for me. I swung the x100 as well but spin #s were still a bit high.

I think x7 has a few tour guys and college players who go all out every swing (according to Fully Equipped), which if you haven't given a shot, I'd recommend a listen.

Caveats: the push the big OEMs a good bit and they are in bed with TrueSpec. But if you know that going in, you'll enjoy the gear talk.

This is what the mizuno rep recommended. Get the x100 and hard step it. I imagine there is a slight feel difference but, hard to imagine it being major. Just my 2 cents though.

I liked it a lot when I played everyday, very minimal noticible difference.

I just remember all the discusions i had with the club reps and manufacturers when the adjustable hosel tech came out..when you start thinking about true loft vs. dynamic loft when you adjust and how it changes, you can get into some weird places with that discussion.

I play the X7s with less speed than him. My 7 iron ss is around 92. They work well for me, but I still think I could bring my flight down a bit. I actually think I need to move into a Project X 6.5 or something similar to lower my ball flight. Sounds like he sounds look at a Project X 7.0 which would bring his window down. I am surprised Buddha wouldn't have recommended that.
