What do you game?

Post your driver swing speed and swing tempo and swing type(vertical,flat)

My swing speed is 100-105 and I have a quick tempo, flat swing, rarely swing to parallel.

Just bought a new set of JPX921 Tour with KBS $ Taper 120s. Guy selling them suggested the shaft bc my swing speed isn’t super high. I’ve been hitting them for about a month and they just feel flimsy at impact and my shot dispersion seems off.

I’ve used S300 and x100s in the past and like them. Are True Temper shafts typically a better shaft than KBS?

Swing speed with my 6 iron is about 102-105. Driver swing probably up in the 120s i believe. I was just fitted for Dynamic Gold X7’s.

Imo there isn’t a shaft that’s truly “better” than another. Only one that’s better for you than it is for me.

I use the c-taper and have in a few different sets of heads. I have tried the $ taper and it doesn't have the same solid feel.

No but they aren't the same profile shaft.

Project X 6.5

Haven’t used a launch monitor in a while but I believe mid Irons were right about 100mph. I was pretty much in the middle for 6.0 and 6.5 went with the stiffer flex and think I made the right choice.

OBAN CT shafts - love them!

Driver swing speed is around 115-120mph. I'd say I have a normal takeback tempo with a quick downswing. Vertical swing type.

Project X LZ Blackout Steel Shaft. Good for players who like increased load/lag feels in their swing.

This is a stock shaft on the new Mizuno Hot Metal pro irons - it's a mid launch but I really love the matte black look.

lol yeah it is. My swing speed is pretty high for an amateur and i was playing s300 in my mp52 irons. I felt like i was about to snap them in half when swinging at full speed. I spin the hell out the ball and hit towering shots with my irons. The x7 allows me to get that ball flight flattened out and spin levels to drop a bit. I’m excited to get the new clubs and shafts in to see the difference.

I'm still confused on why these were the shafts you/were chosen for you. There's lower launch and spin shafts.
