PX 5.5 too soft?

Shaft help

I got a combo set of Miura's incoming and they have PX5.5 shafts in them and I was thinking that they might be a little soft for me. Since I do not know much about the PX line of shafts I thought I could ask you guys here.

I have a driver SS of 115 or so and I hit my 7 iron 175.

I have a fast tempo and put a good amount of load on the shaft. I play BG X in my I5's right now


I am looking for shaft that will be lower launching, since I am a high ball player. Any help will be appreciated including recommendations.

PX play stout but I think 5.5 will be too soft, yes - too much height and spin at your swingspeed. PX 6.5 softstepped is closer, given your quick tempo. the good news is that it's easy to sell PX 5.5 since it's in the wheelhouse for most Stiff-flex players. BG X would be a good option, as well as FST KB-Tour 6.5 or PX 6.5.

Thanks thats what I needed to hear

 

Would a set of tour concepts X1 work for me?

The 5.5's play like a 5.8 on the true temper scale, and soft-stepping a stiffer flex (6.5 or 7.0) would be ok. You will lose distance with the 7.0's, so I would suggest the 6.5's for what you profiled your swing as. Make sure they are NON-FLIGHTED.

 

I have untouched 5.5's in my irons, and they are great. Smooth and stable. And flight pattern is very tight. Distance is fair for my swing speed of 90 to 100 mph, and I'm a digger, not a sweeper, so the PX helps that too.

okay thanks. I tired them today and I was all over the place with them. They are definitely too soft for me
