Shaft help please


Jpowell2142

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get the PXG 2 iron and need help with choosing a shaft. A few numbers for reference, driver head speed averages at 125, gets in the 30's if I go after it. I swap between a hzrdus green smoke 6.5tx and ventus black 7x both tipped an inch. 

 

PXG does not have the greatest shaft options, so it is between the White CK pro 100 tx at $100 up-charge or the Hzrdus black rdx 6.5 90 stock. Do y'all think the difference in the shafts is worth the $100? Should i just get the stock shaft and buy a ventus black 9x or 10x? 

 

Im really just lookin for low spin/launch. Only use this club off the tee box with my length

 

Thoughts?

Anything wrong with the DG 120 X100 you've got in the UDI from your signature?

Perhaps an AMT Tour White X100 hard stepped once or twice?

Just my opinion, but I'd go with the stock shaft. No point in paying an extra $100 for something you aren't sure will even work for you.

 

Worst case if the stock shaft doesn't you can just buy what you want (ventus for example) and pop it in there.

that was my thinking too

Ah, I see.

In that case, guess I'd go with the RDX Black and if that turns out to be too light or soft you can swap it out. Given what other shafts you have, the Tensei would likely work but I wouldn't want to pay the upcharge in the blind either.

I've tested the 2 shafts you mentioned and the Ventus Black HB 9 or 10TX all the way.  I have one in my hybrid and love it.  Only reason I don't have one in my DI is because it was a little too low launch for me.
