True Temper X7

[drbonesvt]

Thinking if DJ can use x100 why can’t I

 

 

Contemplating some x7s in a new set build

[PALS-SSA]

From what I am told the x7 is a different step pattern / design than the x1s , so HS an X1 to attempt to get to x7 isn't apples to apples

 

Step pattern is identical to all DG tapered tip irons. 1.75". The difference is the thickness of each step is slightly bigger than X100 and ends up with that .610-.615" butt.

 

I've found launch to be similar to X100, but spin is much less. That's why guys like Tiger and DJ don't need them. Their angles are already perfect and they don't need their spin cut like most amateurs do.

Approx 2 months of using these shafts and the honeymoon period is still going. Hands down, X7's are the best shafts i have ever used (comparing C Tapers/Tour X/PXI 6.5 and PX). Just fits my swing profile perfectly

Anyone have advice on soft stepping x1 vs. x2??

I’ve most recently been playing Nippon Prototype C10 in X flex... love em but didn’t want to swap out with my new set so going to DG X7... Had CTaper 130x before those, loved the flight but didn’t care for the feel.

I have played both x7 sofstepped and c10

 

Soft stepping dynamic gold makes the cut weight 2 grams less per soft step. So 2x softstep is 4 grams less, and the c10 are 6 grams heavier than x7. So softsteping 2x will be approx 10 grams less weight Than c10 , which is a noticeable amount.

 

also the x7 and c10 are a little different bend profile. The x7 has a stiffer butt section (more like project x 7.0) and the c10 are just a heavy x100.

 

I would either pull the c10 or try to find some dynamic gold x300, which are 134 grams.

Bringing an old thread to life here. Was just fit into some X7’s and curious what most of you guys are using for wedge shafts? Won’t be putting one in 60. X100 flow well in wedges with these? Thanks!

[Jgarn117]

I just tried my X7 for the first time. I have one all the way down to my gap wedge... went S400 hardsteppedx1 in my 56 and 60 wedge.

[Howard_Jones]

How did you hard step those wedges when #9 is the shortest and stiffest?

[ohiohunter2]

Also I think I may have screwed up putting my normal midsize grip on these. If I wanted to normal feel of a midsize grip on a .600 could I stretch the midsize out enough or do I go standard with a few wraps?

[Jgarn117]

I would go standard with a few extra wraps.

[extrastiff]

That’s what I do.

[ohiohunter2]

Been playing these for a few months now and love them. What driver shaft for most of you’ll use? Thanks!

[Howard_Jones]

Most MID to LOW launch profiles from 70 grams and up is candidates....HZDRUS Black Smoke 70 series as 6.5 is 70 grams and should be on the "must try" list...

Howard, I was fitted to a 70tx Tensei Orange Pro and x7's as well. I love the Tensei but was thinking of dropping to a 60tx in weight- based on this comment should I say in the 70g?

[Jgarn117]

I played Nippon Prototype C10x (137 gram, super stiff) prior to the X7 shafts I just put in my 718 TMBs... I can say with a swing speed of 112-117 with my driver and a high launch, I’ve found that the heavier HZRDUS wood shafts are the best to keep spin and launch down.

Current set up is TS3 driver with T1100 70x for what it’s worth.

[Howard_Jones]

In the end, there is only one valid rule...what ever works the best, and a parameter like Total weight progression is VERY personal, just look at how different the weight in 3 different DG models actually is.

Dynamic Gold S300..the name should be familiar for most, and we have 2 models and 3 different Total weight progressions

The Descending weight model has a Total weight difference from 3 to 9 of 32 grams or 10.5 grams pr inchThe Constant weight model has a Total weight difference from 3-9 of 42 grams or 14 grams pr inchThe Ascending weight model (AMT) has a total weight difference of 60 grams from 3 to 9 or 20 grams pr inchSo, when we are at one end of the bag, and look at options for the other end, how many grams pr inch down shall we use ?...charts and math gives us a staring point, but only real life testing will tell us what works the best, but here is my chart and suggestion for shaft weight for a full bag no matter end we see it from:

? so a solid maybe ?...in all seriousness thanks!
