Feel my x stiff is offset a bit by a bit lighter shafts and blue/red tips being a bit softer. I swing ~110, nothing crazy.

With the Ventus, I just find x really limits the big misses. If it goes right or left, it's generally a push/pull from path and I can "feel" why.

Used to play Denali stiff shafts and I'd get some REALLY bad misses with it. Could get some monster drives if everything worked well but generally felt like I was swinging the orange noodle swing tool and hoping everything work out perfectly. Many times not.

Curious, why no TaylorMade driver? PING G430 Max is awesome, but the TaylorMade Qi drivers are pretty stout.

Would love to get fitted for the 440K

Honestly, I have had the Ping G430 for a while and love it. My wife is a nurse and I use ID.me - TM was having a 50% trade in bonus plus 25% off new clubs during nurses week. Wasn't really looking to change my irons but had some stuff to trade and got the new irons with Axiom shafts. They are insanely good. I wouldn't ever buy irons without graphite shafts again. I also got the 9W in that same sale - by the way, I love that Frost Blue shaft. I tinker a lot so the mini and 7W are in the bag for now. I will use a Titleist driving iron, Ping G440 4W or PXG 3H from time to time but right now I seem to be TM heavy.
