The IO’s stepless chrome design is pleasing to the eye and looks more like graphite than steel, which is another preference of mine. The Project X IO 6.0 (stiff flex) was what was recommended to me, which at 110 grams is right around where I prefer my golf shaft weight to be. My club fitter suggested I give them a try during a recent product review for another iron brand, and I’m glad that I listened. I doubt you'll find much of a performance difference between the shafts you're talking about (same model, just different flexes), but there is a fair chance it could change your enjoyment of your clubs (i.e., I doubt your scores will differ depending on which shaft you select, but the degree you fall in love with your irons could change).Having not had much luck using Project X golf shafts in my irons in the past, I was skeptical on how Project X IO would be any different. Most importantly, I'd do everything you can to try and test these shafts against each other if you can. It really depends on your swing and your perception of what your hit should feel like. This could go one of two ways - the softer flex shaft might feel too whippy and soft so it destroys your confidence, or it might translate a smoother more pleasing feel on impact. My guess is you will notice bigger differences in feel than in actual shot results. I'm not saying the conventional wisdom is wrong, but instead am saying that the difference might be so subtle in comparing a 5.0 and 5.5 that you will have trouble measuring it. I have to say that at least when comparing adjacent flexes (like comparing a regular and stiff), I have rarely if ever been able to see an obvious difference in shot results. Second best was Erixon 565, which were almost on my MP53 level.Ĭonventional wisdom is that lighter flexing clubs can introduce more dispersion in your shots and in extreme cases add the occasional snap hook. Topped Hot Metal, 900 forged and AP2 by far. Would you just trust and go with what you have been fitted - or try the lighter flex 5.0 version?Īny experiences with this LZ shaft in regards of flex?īy the way - the MMC werde by far the best head for me. On top I realized that there is a 5 - flex with 110 g, which wasn't available during the fitting. I realized that 5.5 is a Regular+ or firm flex and with my club head speed of 76 mph with 6 iron, this could be a bit too much according to theory. Later at home I read, that many people buy the project X shafts with a wrong, too hard flex. So I will be going from Nippon 950 to PX LZ 5.5. The values club head speed, ball speed + dispersion have been best by far with this shaft and head compared to Nippon Modus 105 R, KBS Tour 90 R and my own Nippon 950 R with MP 53 (which were fitted end 2010). Went through an intensive fitting yesterday and finally ended up with MP18 MMC and Project X LZ 5.5, which
