Royal Precision Rifle Project X

[WhiteTiger]

Hi! i've always played x100 so i'd like to know if the px i shoud play is the 6.5 or the 7.0??? cause how much is the 7.0?I hit the ball too high so i'd like to get a shaft that makes me get more distance by making tha ball no to fly so much, is the px the correct one?thanks =)

[Gozz]

6.5 = X100 roughly. PX will have a higher ball flight than the X100 but will be more penetrating at the appex. You might consider the Black Gold x-stiff or if you want the PX shaft look at soft stepping the 7.0.

[WhiteTiger]

Gozz thanks for the info,I'll try the blackgold and the 7.0 -_-

Guys I am hoping to get some clarification over the comparable flex of PX shafts to Dynamic Gold or the original Rifles. (I am looking to get a set of Callaway X-Forged irons and want to know what I would best suit me.)

 

I have played mostly Dynamic Gold in my irons forever - in S300 flex. I briefly played Rifle 6.0s but found them too heavy to the point where I lost the feeling of the clubhead. My driver swing speed is 105 MPH (yes I am happy to be honest in this regard as opposed to some 'post-ers' who claim to have swing speeds faster than a speeding bullet! :) )

 

So which PX shaft would best suit me? From what I have read so far 5.5 in PX would be closest to S300. Is this true?

 

I also heard that 6.0 in the original Rifles equates to 5.5 in PX, as apparently PX is 0.5 stronger than the original Rifles - can anyone confirm?

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts/expertise!

Most interested too. Played Mp-32's w/ DSG300 and didn't like it. Wondered if the 5.5 PX was the shaft that was comparable the the DSG300.

[electroleum]

As of last week, my mizunp irons were sporting PX 6.5's, and I was not overly impressed with them. My main qualm was a lack of distance equal to one full club. Now that I have DG x100 shafts back in the irons my distance has gone back to normal.

[kiclub690]

i have heard that these play a little stiffer than the original rifles and i play 6.0 flighted ones now but could probably play the 6.5's was wondering the best ones for me would be.... 6 iron swing speed dont know, carry distance usually 182-84

[canucksnaphook]

Man I am not sure about what Rifle to go with.

 

I am playing PING i5's with zz-65 shaft.

 

I want to switch to the Mizuno MP-57's and a Rifle Shaft but not sure what flex. Can anybody help me out on this one?

 

I hit PW 135. 9iron 145 ish. And 5 iron 195.

 

Please help.

 

Coco.

[HumberGolf]

canucksnaphook, px 6.0's for ya....im in 6.5 and love them, but my swing and yardages are just a step up from you, my pw is about 145, my nine iron is 155-158, and my 6 iron is 192-195, enjoy the 6.0's

[MN_elly]

I just got my new set of MP-57's with the PX 6.0. I think these shafts have a tremendous feel, better than DGS300's, in my opinion. I used to play the CG1 black pearls with DGS300's and the ball launched really low with a lot of spin. My home course has really large greens with a lot of bunkers so to launch the ball higher should suit the course better. What I like about the launch of the PX 6.0 is the launch is a little higher but the distance is amazing. I would put the added distance at +10 yards per club. I will have these in Vegas in Feb to try out so can't wait for that. Does anyone else play with this combination?

[hattrick3518]

i love the px shaft, it was a little hard getting used to because you really have to almost hit the ball not so much swing through it, but the feel is unparalleled and i really like how the ball just rockets off the face, i have much more control with the px and i am more confident with the spin on the short irons

[1345]

I just got a set of MP-57 with PX5.5, I had a set of Maxfli Revs with X-100. The X-100s were a little stiff for me but the 5.5s feel great. I got the 57s 1* strong so the combo is 8-12 yards longer than the Maxflis. Great trajectory, high and flat, I think these will work for me. I had a set of regular Rifle 6.0 before and the PX seems to have a little firmer tip, these are the best feeling shafts I have played.

[Aragolf]

I'm hearing some negative comments about the differing versions of these shafts. Is there really a noticeable difference between the satin and chrome? Thanks.

[jimmyv1x]

I don't think TT has butchered them with the chrome. I've had several bad experiences in the past with PX's and Rifles, but recently got a set of irons that I'm absolutely comfortable with.

The irons are Miura forged TM RAC CB 2mm Tstamps 04 model, with chrome 6.0 Px. From a fitting point of view, these should be entirely to stiff for me, but they're not. You described it well firing THROUGH impact. I don't have a tremendous feel throughout the swing, but, with a good lag and weight shift and release through the ball, the feeling is tremendous. Additionally, I've picked some distance as today was a very windy day and I was able to keep the ball down much easier though it was a penetrating and rising ball flight which flew the green several times. And that with clubs I should have been dialed in on the yardage. eg. 164 yd par 3 with a crossing wind, normal 3/4 6 iron draw, flew it over no less than 12 yds.

I am still learning these irons and shafts as today was the first time on the range and playing. Swing was pretty loose a lot of the day and as could be expected, hit some good shots as well as bad ones. But with what I got from these things today, I can assure you, I'm not looking back. Oh, and by the way, I'm no 2, 3 or 4 hcp. I generally run along the lines of a 8 or 9 and can still blow up a number on occasion. I don't overpower a course with my length either, so you don't have to have PGA Tour swing speeds.

In closing, may I say

[nuke87]

Has anyone hit or know of someone who plays the PX 6.0 in the TM R7 TP irons? I am planning to buy a set but wasn't able to hit this set up when I went to get fitted.

[fede3001]

I´ve played RAC LT´s with PX 5.5. (satin) and really enjoyed them. Got the TM R7 TP with PX 6.0 (Chrome), No way. Were like I was hitting a 7.0. Find them more stiff and heavier that my 5.5 satin. Last week a friend was playing Callaway x-20 tour with the PX Chromed 5.5 and have no doubt that shafts are not the same quality anymore.
I agree that since TT took over Royal Precision, products are not the same or do not perform the same way

[aaron134000]

I REALLY NEED HELP!

 

I just bought a set of Titleist 755 irons with the Trispec Stiff shaft. Although on the swing monitor in the store I averaged around 85 mph with the 6 iron (which is the cuspe for regular and stiff) I feel that this shaft is not right. It feels good with the 6 i to PW but my 5 iron and 4 iron go as far as my 6 iron and my 3 iron a little bit further.

 

I have hit the R300's before and just think they are that little bit too "flexy". So I am looking for something in between.

 

I was thinking about the project x flighted to help my long irons get higher. I just don't know what flex? I was thinking 5.5 because that is somewhere in between isn't it.

 

Or should I just get ba 5.0 in the project x?

 

Any comments at all would be appreciated. I am very lost even after reading all this thread.

 

Thanks

[Hifade]

go PX 5.0's

[aaron134000]

go PX 5.0's

 

Thanks very much.

 

The more research I did the better fit the PX 5.0 appeared to be. I just ordered them. I hope it works out!

[Lance99]

This thread has a lot of good info, but I think some might be better informed if there was clarification between PX and PX Flighted. Chrome finish PX shafts can be either the standard or flighted, while I think all satin finish shafts are standard PX.

 

IMO PX Flighted plays softer than the regular PX. I play the X-Forged with PX Flighted 5.5's. The set produces a little too much spin for me and sometimes balloons. I usually use a Pro-V but switched to the X to offset the increased spin.

[mul1gan]

can anyone tell me what the weight is on the px 5.5? I know the royal precision site says 115g http://www.royalprecision.com/precision_steel_projectx.html

but is this for the original px satin shafts from royal precision or the new chrome one from trutemper?

 

Is there any difference between the two? I have the px5.5 in the chrome and i like the weight, would the satin finish be heavier or lighter and will if play a little different?

 

thanks in advance

[Jay4]

Just curious, I have Mizuno MP-32 with the TT Dynalite Gold Shaft R300. Are there any advantages on switching to Project x Shafts?

[canucklehead]

Do any of you guys play PX's in your wedges? I've heard that because they are a low spin shaft, wedge shots release more and don't get as much spin in comparison to DG's. I've currently got 6.0's in my 695mb's and love them. I'm thinking about switching my wedge shafts to PX too, but wondering if it might be a good idea to go with something softer like a 5.5.

[ukcatshoopsfan]

I've got PX 6.0's in my Titleist Tour Satin 52 (bent to 50) and my 58 (bent to 56) and I still get a ton of spin. I went to the PX's to actually lower the flight and have had great results.

[blade_man]

Man I am not sure about what Rifle to go with.

 

I am playing PING i5's with zz-65 shaft.

 

I want to switch to the Mizuno MP-57's and a Rifle Shaft but not sure what flex. Can anybody help me out on this one?

 

I hit PW 135. 9iron 145 ish. And 5 iron 195.

 

Please help.

I agree with humber, the 6.0 that is what I play, pw is 135 9 is 153 8 is 165 and so on, I have played this shaft for a couple of years now and love them!

[jetmech879]

I was playing the i5's last year with the dg s-400's amd made the switch to the MP-57 with the PX 6.0's, witch was the best move I have ever made! The distance is identical to the pings on the 6-pw. The 3-5 are about a half club longer. I hit my 8iron 165ish and my 5iron 210ish. Hope this helps. You will love that combo!

[ob1soccer]

what is the difference between a chrome px and a satin px. ive been using S-300 for 15 years now and was wondering if i should make the switch to rifle. my handicap is 6 and i have Callaway xtour irons.

 

does the flighted px actually increase your trajectory because my ball flight is very low. thank you

[tourfade03]

Man, I'm currently just ballooning my MP-32's with S300s...they are simply high and are not cooperating...I'm swinging at about 90mph, but carrying the 6 iron 170 yards...any comments here besides how to trap the ball better? :D

[tmharrell]

After playing forged blades for 25 years I made the jump to Game Improvement clubs – Callaway X-20s. I was leaving MP-33s and DG S300s, and wanted at least the same distances on the new clubs. I went to a fitter and we selected PX Flighted 5.0s. Here is why: I liked the feel of the shafts in X-20 Tours, but I did not like the Tour heads.

 

After about 10 rounds, here is my impression: consistent flight, lower (for me) than S300s, will not hook (with the S300s I always guarded against a surprise hook), a little muted feeling unless I really go at it. I can work the ball a little, and I can stretch distances a little without losing accuracy. The 5.0 shafts can handle my swing, which smooth in transition and sweeping (rather than digging).

 

I do not know anything about what Rifle shafts were like before TT. But I can say these shafts have made my transition easy. I hit more greens and distance control is as good as the S300s.

[Vendanta]

Have a set of 695mb's with PX 6.5's. I was considering taking 1/2 inch of the length. Does anyone know wether or not this would have any effect on the performance of the clubs.
