PXI 6.0

[Dan_ep82]

Recently changed from 08 AP2's with S300's to the 13' X Forged with Project X 6.0's

 

I've only had two days out with them but I'm finding them very hard to draw, my natural shape.

 

I seem to hit a baby fade, straight or a block most shots.

 

I have seen a slight increase in distance which I account to the 1° stronger lofts, swing speed is 105 with the driver.

 

I'm not sure if its the less off set, the thicker shaft or the stiffness or just me, any input?

 

I did hit 710 CB's alongside it with s300 and had no problem drawing them but I have played a few rounds with those.

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

I went from S300's to 5.5 and it was seamless. The 6.0 is more like X isn't it? I really prefer the feel of the Project X, don't you? The S300 feels like sand paper when compared.

6.0's play pretty stiff. I'm thinking of soft-stepping the two sets I have with these shafts for the upcoming season. That would put them about 5.7 on the rifle scale, which is about where the S300 sits. So you're playing with about 1/3 stiffer a flex right now than you had been. The increase in distance is likely the lighter weight (110g) versus S300 which is about 120g if I recall.
The two sets I have mine in are pretty similar to your two sets described ('08 AP2 and Cobra Pro CB.) Can't say I see a lot of difference based on the one degree of loft difference in those sets.

Didn't realize they played that stiff, could be one of the issues I have then, I'll keep at it to see if I can make them work.

I'd give it some more time. Like Mr D says, you've got the weight difference. I like the PXI like you have, I don't think it plays stiff. Now the non-PXI Project X 6.0 for me has no feel and plays tougher than the 6.0 PXI. I'm even liking softstepping the PXI 6.5 just to get a little more weight and retain the smooth feel.

I hit the s300 and its easy to hit left for me whereas the PXI 6.0 was going to the right before I dialed it in some. I contribute me getting out in front of it with the lighter weight and hitting a push.

Title says PXi, but you refer to PX in the thread. Which ones are you asking about? They are 2 completely different shafts with different profiles. One being really butt stiff, the other being a bit more conventional in profile in relation to other shafts.

Check your lie angle as well.

I played a round yesterday for the first time in a few days and hit some really good shots. Still felt I had to commit a bit more oomph to get the result I wanted. I'll keep with them for the time being unless someone offers me what Im looking for.

They're stock as were my previous AP2's and the CB's I was trying but I'll look into getting them checked.
