XP95 R300 vs S300

scooter827 · November 30, 2016

Was in my local GW the other day and was hitting a set of clubs with XP95 R300 in there and they felt really good. I found the same set of clubs online with same shaft but they were a S300. Will it be a huge difference? My swing is ok, in my 30s been playing for some years now but more of a feel guy. When warmed up 6i swing speed is probably at the 85 mark.

Will be a pretty big difference. S300 is a lot stouter shaft than the xp95 r300.

Well, it is a full flex difference. :-)

Unfortunately, whether that is a significant difference or not will depend a lot on your particular swing mechanics AND your particular sensitivity and preferences for feel of the flex from the shaft. It's a very subjective question. I'd suggest going to a retail store and seeing if you can find a set to demo with the xp95 s300's. That's really the only way you'll be able to answer the question.
