Shaft Question

[clemsontiger1]

I have the original P790 irons with Project X 5.5 shafts in them (not a shaft fitted to me). I played with a friend of mine and he had C Taper Lite shaft in his irons. I hit a few shots with his irons, and loved the feel of the shaft. what are the differences in the C Taper Lite and the Px 5.5s? I was considering reshafting one of my irons as a bit of a test, but I am not a "shaft guy". I thought you guys on here may be able to help me know if there would even be enough of a difference to make a change.

 

Thanks!

Project X steel shafts are marketed as stout, low spin, low trajectory shafts whereas the KBS C-Taper Lite shafts have a firm tip and soft butt designed for mid-high trajectory with controlled spin. So you are basically comparing an apple and an orange. For whatever reason, PX shafts don't feel good to me (or produce better results in fittings). Several other shaft brands and models were better fitted for my swing.

I currently have PX 5.5 in my irons and played PX 6.0 for many years.  I also have C-Taper lite and 2 other sets of C-Taper and KBS Tour and other KBS shafts in storage. 

 

PX 5.5 are 115grams and tend to be high bend with stiff tips.  C-Taper Lite are 110grams, a soft butt and firm tip section.  Both have constant taper shafts as the guy that designed C-Taper designed PX too.  I didn't like C-Taper due to the softer butt, but that's me.
