For those going mixed set, are you making any tweaks to the lofts of the speed irons. I was thinking 4 & 5 speed and 6-pw PC.

Exactly what I ordered. I requested the Speed to be built to PC specs. All with the DG Pro S300.

Can anyone compare the dg pro to the ctaper? I play the x flex ctaper in my mp54s now and I was wondering if the dg pro x100 would be worth a try? I love the ctapers so I might just do a custom order.

I can't talk X flex, but for me the DGPro S300 is a higher launching shaft compared to the C-Taper S. It also feels less boardy. I've never been a fan of the C Taper. I just don't hit it well. The DG Pro produced almost identical results as my NS Pro Prototypes. Easy to launch and very controllable.

What's the weight difference of the two shafts? What are you doing up already?

Gotta work today. Usually it's my son waking me up anyways.

DG Pro is around 118
NS Pro Proto is around 115 from what I was told.

How is the DG Proto compared to the KBS Tours. I'm looking for a lower launching shaft yet trying to keep it light weight.
[/quote]

Look at the DGSL shaft, slightly stiffer than a DG and lower launching with light weight.

I think from reading this board I am the only person who ordered the pros :) either way I keep checking the order status hoping it changes from processing to shipped.
[/quote]

You are not alone my friend, I ordered Vapor pro PW-8, and pro combo 7-4 today. I went and had a fitting and loved the dg pro x100. I have hated the fell of x100 in the past but loved my ctapers. I would say dg pro has similar flight characteristic to the x100 but with fantastic feel, seemed like a nice mix between a ctaper and x100.

I ended up ordering mine +1 inch, 2 degrees upright and 1 degree strong in the pros to match the pro combos. I also decided to go with DG PRO x100 hard stepped once, my fitter said that would be the best. When ordering online make sure you look at the lengths. The vapors 6 iron stock was the same length as my +1 inch mizzy MP54.

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but this thread is over 50 pages and I haven't followed every reply. Nike golf told me that the pvd finish on the blades is a plating, not just a paint, and it's possible to remove. Anyone have any info on this?

NOT possible to remove.

I ordered the Pros in 3-pw with KBS Tour V x shafts. I'm going to have to wait until December since I'm a left. Have fun with yours while those of us on the other side of the ball are waiting for our turns.

Is there an upcharge to get the pros w the dg pro x100? It looks like the stock are regular dgs.

Should not be an upcharge. I think all DG shafts are considered stock.

Normally I like the traditional looking cavity backs and blades. However I think it's great how Nike is incorporating new tech and the futuristic look is cool too.

    • Titleist GT drivers - 2024 the Memorial Tournament
      Early in hand photos of the new GT2 models t the truck.  As soon as they show up on the range in player's bags we'll get some better from the top photos and hopefully some comparison photos against the last model.
