ProjectX high launch... I need Help

50jay · April 9, 2006

Hi guys.. i'm a beginner in shafts' knowledge so i thought that this forum would be the best way to find infos.. here's my problem

my father wants to put these shafts (project x high launch)in his clubs but he would like a flex that is between a R-300 and a S-300, but these shafts are only made in 5.0 and 6.0 flexes... is it possible to do a mid flex with these shafts i mean like softstepping a 6.0 of hard stepping a 5.0, is it possible or it's not??? can anyone help me, because i need help real quick because he wants them as soon as possible

or is there another shaft that he would maybe like if it's not possible to do a mid-flex??

thanks guys...

I'd either hardstep a 5.0 set or just go with 5.5's.

You cant go with 5.5 because in the HL they only make them in 5.0 or 6.0 flexes.

Go with the 5.0 flex. it is in between regular and stiff and these shafts play a little stiffer than stated flex.

5.0 should be perfect

I suggest ... got for Accra Steel Tour instead of Project X HL. Alot more easy to play, accurate and smooth and very smooth. 5.5 is good.

for project x .. 5.0 flex definitely.. (asked the cs before regarding this one)

How far does Dad carry his 5-iron?

50jay · April 13, 2006

Hey my dad carries his 5 iron about 165-170 yards and his driver swingspeed is around 100mph... hope it helps

i asked a clubmaker for him and he told me to try nippon shafts, or rifle light... do you know anything about them???

where can it find infos on accras steel shafts and is it possible to buy them in Canada? How would they play compared to project Xs or rifles light..

thanks for the infos

I think I'd go with what your clubmaker suggests. If your Dad needs higher launch with those numbers, he might like the Nippons or Rifle Lite better. He'd get a little more spin with those over the Project X HL, I think.

thanks a lot guys i'm suppose to see him again tommorow i'll let you know..

do you have any other suggestions and what about accra steel shafts??? HAYAM suggest these shafts to me and i've heard about them before... are they that good??? and for the rifles and nippons, should i put them with standard specs or should step them

thanks a lot again!
