Hi. titleistman44 I got the same numbers you have and also considering moving to an X100 or KBS Tour. Did you have an answer about the questions you made here?
Dear Ralph, I have X20 Tour irons with PX 5.0 rifle flighted R shafts, and hit my 6i about 150 yards. My Calla Razr Fit driver has a RIP.D NV 60 gram R shaft. This summer I got fitted for RBZ FWs (3W.HL and 7W) with RBZ X.Con 5 / 45 gr. R shafts, and a 4H with a Graphite 65 / 65 Gr. R shaft. After I got "warmed up" for the season, my Driver and irons started flying better, but the RBZ family turned into a hook machine. (Sometimes 4 balls OB per round). Recently I went from standard to midsize grips on the RBZ, with lesser hook problems. But, I have to swing almost slow to get a decent shot. (slower than driver or irons) If I had the shafts tipped about a half inch, would this stiffen things and possibly allow me to press more without hooking? Or, should I reshaft with something else? Also, if the gap between iron shaft weight and lightweight wood shafts is too much, will this mess up swing tempo?
Dear Ralph, My shaft MPF is 5C1M and one of the options is "ProForce 75". Exactly which ProForce shaft does this refer to because there are several when I looked at the UST Mamiya website. Thank you.
I am considering changing the DG S300 shafts in my Titelist AP2's to a DG X100, or the new KBS C Taper S+ or X. My numbers with my current 6 iron are 90 MPH, 14.4 launch, and 180 carry. the reason for the change is based on my tendancy to hook if I get the slightest bit quick. I was thinking the stiffer shaft would allow me to go after it if need be. I am a 6 handicap currently, but I am improving since I put an X Stiff shaft in my driver and 3 wood. How important do you think the weight of the shaft is in comparison to flex?
