PX Rifle 105 Tour Flighted .370" Steel Iron Shafts Close Out

Shaft services optional, description.

The Project X 105 Rifle Tour Flighted iron shafts are lightweight version of the original Rifle Flighted profile. Many players struggle optimizing trajectories throughout their iron set — oftentimes sacrificing control in the short irons to achieve more trajectory in the long irons.

Rifle 105 Tour Flighted combines a unique design with specific tip-trim instructions that creates a progressive kick point throughout the set to manipulate ball flight and product optimal trajectories depending on specific club choice. This allows for a flighted set—offering a mid–high trajectory in the longer irons, a mid trajectory in the middle irons and a mid–low trajectory in the scoring irons.

  • Lightweight version of the original Rifle Flighted profile
  • Features a progressive kick point to manipulate ball flight and produce optimal trajectories for each club within the set
  • Designed for players who struggle to optimize trajectories in their irons
  • Progressive design delivers higher trajectories in the mid and long irons and controllable trajectories in the short irons
  • Note: * Weight listed in spec box below is the trimmed weight of the golf shafts
  • Note: ** Additional trimming required on the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts for AW, GW and SW wedges - For AW wedge trim 5 1/8", GW trim 5 3/8" and SW trim 5 5/8"

Rifle Tour Flighted 105 Shafts - Awesome Performance in a Lighter Weight

Rifle Tour Flighted 105 Shafts - Awesome Performance in a Lighter Weight

By DanSueltz December 10th, 2022

Rifle Tour Flighted 105 Shafts offer awesome performance in a lighter weight steel.  Available only through custom club fitters like True Fit Clubs, these shafts can be customized to meet today's golfers most demanding needs.

Lighter Weight

The Project X Rifle Tour Flighted 105 shafts come in three different weights:

R Flex  - 107 grams - Built flexes from L+(3.5) to R+(5.5)

S Flex - 108 grams - Built flexes from A+(4.5) to S(6.0)

X Flex - 113 grams - Built flexes from R(5.0) to S+(6.5)

These shafts are very customizable with a wide range of flexes in each shaft weight.

Flight and Spin Characteristics

The concept of "Tour Flighting" has been around for years.  Most tour players like higher trajectory in their long irons (3,4,5) but more penetrating ball flight in their scoring irons (8,9,PW).  That is exactly how the Project X Rifle Tour Flighted 105 irons are designed.  In our testing, the difference is not dramatic but noticeable enough to give better stopping power on longer iron shots into a green.

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Shaft Review – Specs, Flex, Weight

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Shaft

Sure, with some shafts, you can get by without going in for a certified fitting.

But with others, it’s simply not advisable.

That’s because some shafts, like the Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts, need specific cutting instructions in order to unlock their true potential.

The Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts were designed to be custom-cut and custom-fitted.

That’s because there is a ton of performance potential packed into these relatively lightweight shafts.

If you were a fan of the original Rifle Flighted shafts, you owe it to yourself to read the following Rifle 105 Tour Flighted review.

Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Shaft Overview

The Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts are meant to be progressive shafts.

In other words, the flight gradually gets lower and more controlled as you move towards the short irons.

As you will see in the specs table below, you will also see that these are lightweight shafts. That’s important to note because these are, after all, steel shafts.

So if you have been wanting to improve accuracy by switching from graphite to steel shafts, these may be an ideal option for you.

Like nearly any Project X (a True Temper brand) shaft, the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts offer a very smooth transition.

The kick point is also progressive (so long as you go in for a certified fitting).

It was easy for our testers to load up on this shaft. Unloading felt just a little jerky; but it was nothing to be overly concerned about as it didn’t affect accuracy.

Overall you get a very lively response and the feeling that the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted is actually transferring your swing energy into the ball.

Why is the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted So Popular?

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Shaft1

The Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shaft is a popular shaft because it works well for a wide variety of golfers.

As a mid handicapper, the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted can be optimized to match your distance needs.

As a low handicapper, you can increase accuracy with your scoring irons. So it offers a little something for everyone.

How Does the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Perform?

For the most part, our testers like long irons that produce a low launch. But none of our testers are pros.

The Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts actually produce a mid launch in the long irons and we can see why.

Mid launch is a nice middle ground for pros and amateurs. Pros want to be able to land greens with their longer irons so they need higher trajectories. But players like us need more distance above all else.

While the launch wasn’t terrible for us, we did lose out on a few yards with our long irons because of the higher trajectory.

However, the flight did work well for some of our higher handicap testers. When plugged into our short irons, the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts produced lower launch angles.

One of the things we really liked about this shaft is that it made for very controllable spin rates.

In our scoring irons, we were able to pick up more backspin when needed or mute the spin depending on the lie.

Overall, the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts are workable and we can see them performing well for a wide variety of players.

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Shaft Specs

What flexes are available what swing speeds do they suit.

The Rifle 105 Tour Flighted is available in regular, stiff and extra stiff flex. Regular would be good for 80-85 MPH swingers.

Stiff would be good for 85-90 MPH swingers and extra siff would work for 91+ MPH swingers.

What Weights Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

There is a 107g version that would be suitable for players in the 80 MPH range.

The 108g version may work for 85-90 MPH swingers. The 113g version may suit 91-95 MPH swingers.

Why is it So Good?

For us, the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted was a good shaft because it was workable.

So long as you get a fitting, you will find that you can manipulate flight and spin. It may take some time to get used to; but once you do, you will find  that the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts are very versatile.

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted First Impressions

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Shaft2

One can’t help but notice how light and wieldy these shafts feel in the hands.

On the downswing, you feel like you can swing outside yourself. On release, you get a clear kick and feedback.

Key Features & Performance

The Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts feature a progressive kick point that is meant to flight the ball down in the short irons and produce a higher trajectory in the long irons.

Especially in the short irons, flight and spin can be manipulated and you get a sharper degree of control as opposed to the long irons.

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Irons Review

For better players, the progressive kick point will be amazing.

But mid handicappers may be left in the lurch because of the lost distance in the long irons.

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Wedges Review

This shaft works really well with wedges regardless of your handicap. It’s easy to achieve the spin you need and control trajectory.

Rifle 105 Tour Flighted Pros & Cons

  • Progressive launch
  • Active feel
  • Workable in the scoring irons
  • Smooth bend profile
  • Not great for mid handicappers

Overall Score: 95/100

Who Should Buy it?

Oddly enough, the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts would be good for high and scratch handicappers.

If you want to attack the pin with your long irons, these shafts will help.

And if you are a lower handicapper who has trouble getting air under the ball, you will get along well with the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts. Mid handicappers are likely to lose out on long iron distance.

Project X 6.0 Shaft Review – Specs, Flex, Weight

Project X 6.0 Shaft2

The Project X stepless steel iron shaft is where it all began.

This was the shaft that really vaulted Project X into the limelight and made the company a household name…well, for golfers at least.

But make no mistake about it: the Project X is not for the faint of heart.

After re-testing it for today’s review, my first thought was “yep, it’s just as stout as people say.”

In fact, the original Project X steel shaft has earned a reputation for putting off slower swing speed players.

Today I will be giving you some insight into the Project X 6.0 specifically.

Project X 6.0 Shaft Overview

The Project X 6.0 was designed to have a consistently stiff tip and butt section.

But the midsection stiffness is progressive and tightens up as you move to the short irons. For my swing, this was a perfect fit.

I tend to generate mid spin and launch so the Project X 6.0 made me look like a better player than I actually am.

My short iron shots were more controlled and I was reaching the green on long approaches more often.

The Project X 6.0 has a very simple look: a polished chrome finish with a band in the middle containing all the branding, lettering and specs.

I’ve always preferred the look of stepless shafts too but that’s just a matter of opinion. The kick in this shaft is very subtle.

In fact, I would say that only strong swingers will be able to feel the shaft load and unload.

Still, it maintains a smooth transition whether you are swinging out of your shoes or taking a more controlled shot.

Our testing team had the same reaction. Some adjectives I heard from them included “smooth,” “stable,” and “controlled.”

But the Project X 6.0 is certainly not for everyone. Some of our slower swing speed testers were getting pretty wide dispersion with this shaft, in fact.

They couldn’t jive with the stout feel and when you don’t like the feel of the shaft, it likely won’t be compatible with your swing.

And a shaft that doesn’t groove with your swing is likely to produce poor performance results.

Why is the Project X 6.0 So Popular?

Project X 6.0 Shaft

The Project X shaft is considered a classic in 2023.

It is a popular choice among powerful swingers because it affords them the club head control they need to maximize distance and stay on the fairway.

How Does the Project X 6.0 Perform?

The Project X 6.0 performs almost exactly as it’s advertised to. It produces low launch and low spin numbers.

So for a player like me who usually produces a mid launch and mid spin numbers, this shaft brought my launch and spin rates down just a bit. The Project X 6.0 wants to keep you on the fairway.

The only issue I had with this shaft was rollout. The low spin and launch combo doesn’t make for amazing stopping power. However, this may only be an issue for players like me.

If you know how to impart spin on the ball or are naturally a high-spin player, you may get along very well with the Project X 6.0.

Plus, you can always go down a flex if the spin/launch combo is making it hard for you to stick greens. The distance you get out of the Project X 6.0 shaft will depend largely on your swing speed.

I wouldn’t recommend the Project X 6.0 for anyone swinging slower than 85 MPH. If you are a 85+ MPH swinger though, you will likely pick up yardage through tighter dispersion alone – not to mention smash factor and ball speed.

Shaft Specs

What flexes are available what swing speeds do they suit.

The Project X 6.0 specifically is a stiff flex shaft.

There are other flexes available but 6.0 is for players in the 85-100 MPH swing speed range.

What Weights Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

Again, the Project X 6.0 specifically is a 120g shaft.

This is a good weight for players who swing their irons between 85 and 100 MPH.

Why is it So Good?

The Project X 6.0 is incredibly stable.

It can keep your strongest swings straight and amazingly, it doesn’t send the ball veering off-line on mis-hits.

Project X 6.0 First Impressions

Project X 6.0 Shaft1

I was instantly reminded of how stout this shaft feels as soon as I took my first swing.

There is no lag in this shaft. Instead, you can feel the club head keep up with you throughout your swing.

Key Features & Performance

The Project X 6.0 uses a progressive midsection stiffness profile which makes the performance more dynamic. It gives you more speed in the long irons and more control in the scoring irons.

Project X 6.0 Irons Review

Even in the more reactive long irons, you get excellent control and tight dispersion. These shafts are fairway finders for sure.

Project X 6.0 Wedges Review

Better players will certainly be able to achieve acute spin control in the stouter wedges.

Still, launch remains pretty low and hard to work upward.

Project X 6.0 Pros & Cons

  • Very accurate
  • Great for strong swingers
  • Piercing trajectory
  • Surprisingly forgiving
  • Workable spin
  • Very stout profile

Project X 6.0 Shaft2

Overall Score: 96/100

Who Should Buy it?

The Project X 6.0 should at least be tried by fast swing speed players.

If you are a single-digit golfer seeking maximum control from your irons, the Project X 6.0 should be on your radar.

Even some faster swingers will be put off by the very stout profile; but if you are used to a stiff, traditional-feeling steel iron shaft, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.

Rifle Launches New Project X Flighted Shafts

October 24, 2006

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Played by many of today’s top-ranked golfers, the premium Project X steel shaft by Rifle is considered by many to be the world’s most advanced steel shaft design. Today, Rifle is proud to unveil the all-new Project X Flighted shafts which combine the award-winning Project X design with Tour-proven Flighted Distribution Technologyâ?¢.

In addition to the playing characteristics that have made the Project X shaft a tour favorite, the all-new Project X Flighted features an exaggerated change in kick point within each shaft throughout the set to optimize ball flight through the bag. Long irons provide a lower kick point for higher ball flight, easier launch and greater distance, while the short irons have a higher kick point for a lower trajectory, greater accuracy and control.

"We’re excited to introduce the all-new Rifle Project X Flighted iron shafts, an entirely new level in Rifle engineering," says Chad Hall, Director of Marketing – Rifle brands for True Temper Sports. "Like Project X, the new Project X Flighted shafts utilize all of our advanced technologies – including Stepless Design and Internal Rifling – but Project X Flighted also incorporates technology that applies custom tip flex distribution to each shaft in the set generating specific shot trajectories from long irons to short irons."

A proven winner on the PGA Tour, all Rifle Project X shafts feature a varying constant taper per inch for each shaft in the set. This unique feature produces greater energy transfer to the ball allowing the golf ball to get up in the air faster with a flat, penetrating trajectory.

Rifle Project X Flighted shafts are available in flexes 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0. Shaft weights range from 115 grams (5.0 flex) to 135 grams (7.0 flex), based on 5-iron specs. For more information on the Rifle Project X Flighted or other Rifle products, visit www.rifleshaft.com.

Rifle Project X Flighted shafts are designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports, the leading manufacturer of golf shafts in the world and is consistently the number one shaft on all professional tours globally. The Company markets a complete line of shafts under the True Temper®, Grafalloy® and Rifle® shaft brands, and sells these brands in over thirty countries throughout the world. True Temper Sports is proudly represented by over 1000 individuals in ten facilities located in the United States, Europe, Japan, China and Australia.

Project X Steel Shafts for Irons

Project X is now also involved in the market for wood and driver shafts. However, this shaft became famous for its unique "rifle design" without the usual steps. Project X played a major role on the Tour from the very beginning with its basic low launch, low spin profile. Players like Rory McIlroy do not think about changing the shaft.

Meanwhile Project X is part of "True Temper", but has not lost any of its original concept. Over the years, more shafts have been added to the original Project X, most notably the Project X LZ, which is also very popular on Tour. But also off the Tour, Project X wants to continue with new shaft concepts such as the Project X IO or the Catalyst, a graphite shaft with the characteristics of steel shafts.

project x rifle tour flighted 6.0

Project X Rifle

This shaft is constructed without steps and therefore has a unique design. However, this is not only an advantage in terms of design but also in terms of flex distribution and energy transfer. And this without having a negative influence on control. This stepless construction makes the tip very stiff and therefore provides more precision with optimal control of trajectory and spin.

The bend profile of the Project X is quite interesting and roughly comparable to the Nippon Modus 3 120 . The end of the grip is relatively soft and becomes stiffer as the grip progresses, in the middle very soft and in the tipp stiffer again. Exactly this stiff tip is decisive for the profile with low spin and low trajectory.

Project X LS

The Project X LS stands for low spin and further enhances the "low spin characteristic". The LS was just released in 2020 and has a brushed finish. Like the Project X Rifle it has no steps. The LS is even softer in the grip area than the Project X rifle. This makes it possible to make the other parts of the shaft even stiffer. Therefore the Project X LS is really only designed for very athletic players who swing very aggressively. The difference to the Project X rifle though is marginal and probably only noticeable for extremely good players.

Project X IO

This shaft concept is already known from the Dynamic Gold AMT shaft , where the shafts for longer irons are becoming lighter and lighter. Basically, we believe this concept is only useful for players who really struggle to launch the ball with long irons.

Project X LZ

The Loading Zone Technology makes this shaft unique and gives it its name: LZ. It enables a 7% greater transfer of energy to the ball and therefore ensures greater distances. This technology is not only visible in the club, but can also be seen in the conical steps from the grip through the middle section of the Project X LZ.

As far as the profile is concerned, the Project X LZ differs significantly from the Project X Rifle and is, for example, an alternative to the Nippon Modus 120. However, the profile of the LZ is much more pronounced than the Modus, namely very stiff in the lower part of the grip, very soft in the middle and again a stiff tip - the latter is the prerequisite for an overall low launch with little spin.

The stiffness of the shaft should not be underestimated and the LZ is even stiffer than the Project X rifle. That's why the Project X LZ in 7.0 is only available as a tour version and is played by Tommy Fleetwood, for example. For us normal mortals this variant is not available, but Project X 7.0 is. 

project x rifle tour flighted 6.0

Project X vs. Project X LZ - Our Review

When comparing the data, it quickly becomes apparent that the Project X LZ is a little stiffer than the Project X of the same rank. This means that a Project X 6.0 is about as stiff as the Project X LZ 5.5 - but also a little lighter. So if you generally tend towards lighter but stiffer, you should have found a candidate in the Project X LZ.

However, the differences are not dramatic. For our test, we nevertheless compared Project X 6.0 with Project X LZ 5.5 because these shafts have practically the same stiffness.

The results are as follows:

project x rifle tour flighted 6.0

In terms of launch and spin, we would not find any differences based on this test. The Project X LZ shows a little more spin, but this is mainly due to the strike pattern. It makes no sense to classify one of the shafts with a higher launch or more spin. The big difference is in the profile and this is particularly evident in the transition. Our player got along much better with the Project X with its relatively aggressive transition from backswing to downswing. This is also reflected in the result and especially in the outliers that did not make it into our analysis. Our test player noticed relatively early on that the aggressive transition gets him into trouble more easily - which can also be seen directly in the dispersion. A large part of the balls were either slightly blocked or slightly closed. A typically poor strike pattern for good players who get to the ball from the inside. The comparison of Project X and Project X LZ is an example of how individual shafts can be. Another player might have achieved exactly the opposite result.

Project X vs Project X Flighted

I ordered new Irons recently (Srixon zx7) and ordered what I thought to be the same Project X 6.0 shaft as my previous set of 09 callaway x forged, which turned out to be a Project X 6.0 flighted. 

In my first few rounds i noticed a much lower flight on long irons and higher on short irons as well as a very soft ball flight but exceeding my old clubs distance numbers do to an extra degree or two of loft. 

Up until now I was not aware of the difference between the two. In doing some research I found that the flighted version can play softer and leads me to the only concern I have with the new clubs. 

Although im getting more distance is softer trajectory a sign that the new shaft is too stiff for me or just a feature of a higher end forged club?

I don't know what "softer trajectory" means.   

The shaft profile of the two shafts are different which is why they have different flights.  Flighted shafts are designed to launch the ball higher than the non flighted.

After recently taking an interest in the same PX Rifle Flighted shafts, what I've found out is that they have a progressive profile through the set. Looks like the longer irons come with a softer tip to help get the ball up in the air more easily and with less effort. The mid irons are close to a standard (for PX) flex and the short irons are a hair stiffer in the tip as to create a lower and more "tour preferred" flight. 

Overall, I believe the flex frequencies are fairly uniform and true to PX flex throughout the set but the top, middle, and bottom end of the set have slightly different feeling profiles based on their intended flight characteristics. That might be a little jumbled but at least it's in the ballpark.

My conundrum is what overall flex will suit my swing? I've been a DG 105 S300 guy for a few years and have never used PX, Rifle, or flighted. I recently bought a "nostalgia" set of Mizuno irons with some discontinued Rifle Flighted 6.0 shafts that are just magical. I've poked around and found that PX Rifle Flighted 5.5 might be a close match so I found a full set at a very cheap price and I'm taking the gamble. 

I can provide feedback if you'd like. 

Although I've been playing well with a 1/2" tipped S300, it looks like the overall profile of the 5.5 might still be a good fit for my swing.

Project X Rifle 105 Tour Flighted .370" Steel Iron Shafts

Description.

The Project X 105 Rifle Tour Flighted iron shafts are lightweight version of the original Rifle Flighted profile. Many players struggle optimizing trajectories throughout their iron set — oftentimes sacrificing control in the short irons to achieve more trajectory in the long irons.

Rifle 105 Tour Flighted combines a unique design with specific tip-trim instructions that creates a progressive kick point throughout the set to manipulate ball flight and product optimal trajectories depending on specific club choice. This allows for a flighted set—offering a mid–high trajectory in the longer irons, a mid trajectory in the middle irons and a mid–low trajectory in the scoring irons.

  • Lightweight version of the original Rifle Flighted profile
  • Features a progressive kick point to manipulate ball flight and produce optimal trajectories for each club within the set
  • Designed for players who struggle to optimize trajectories in their irons
  • Progressive design delivers higher trajectories in the mid and long irons and controllable trajectories in the short irons
  • Note: * Weight listed in spec box below is the trimmed weight of the golf shafts
  • Note: ** Additional trimming required on the Rifle 105 Tour Flighted shafts for AW, GW and SW wedges - For AW wedge trim 5 1/8", GW trim 5 3/8" and SW trim 5 5/8"

Project X Iron Shaft Review

Project x iron shaft.

The Project X iron shaft is a cult classic stepless iron shaft as well as one of the most popular iron shafts on Tour.  Geared towards players with a more aggressive iron swing, the Project X aims to keep both your launch and spin numbers down .  Looking for lower ball flight or reduced spin off of your irons?  The Project X iron shaft might be the right option for you!

project x rifle tour flighted 6.0

How Does it Feel?

My first thought when I swung the Project X iron shaft was “huh, I don’t remember them being this stout.”  I may have been swinging the 6.5 (~x-flex) as opposed to my usual 6.0 in Project X, but nonetheless, it felt fairly stiff.  Why?  stiffness in the tip of the shaft.  The Project X is designed so that the butt and tip sections are consistent through the set, while the midsection’s stiffness varies from iron to iron .  This creates consistent tip stiffness, and thus, that more stiff feel throughout the swing.  However, there’s a notable progressive kick point throughout the set.  It’s definitely not a bad feel by any means, but more aggressive swingers with a quicker transition will most likely feel the shaft loading better.

Project X shafts are also known for their range of flex options.  Rather than the traditional regular, stiff, x-stiff, etc profiles, Project X uses a numbering system in .5 increments.  The flexes range from the softest at 5.0 up to the stiffest at 7.0, giving players five different flex options.  The 5.5 to 6.5 also offer two different weight options each, while the 5.0 and 7.0 have one.  These are all things to take into account to get that feel and performance finely tuned to exactly where you need it.

On-Course Performance

The Project X iron shafts advertise a low launch with low spin.  Again, the way the Project X shaft is constructed creates a very stable tip, which is how they create that low, piercing ball flight and reduced spin .  I found that this is exactly what is delivered with this shaft.  My ball flight was much more piercing and penetrating than my current gamers.  My ball seemed to just cut right under the infamous Spring Chicago winds.  If you have issues with really high iron shots, the Project X might be worth a look.

Spin-wise, I also saw a pretty steep reduction from my current gamers.  This can be both good or bad if you don’t necessarily need less spin from your irons.  The good: my dispersion was more contained.  The Project X shafts tend to stay on line, and misses are fairly abbreviated .  The accuracy is good.  Where it’s not necessarily a good thing is holding greens.  With a combination of low launch and low spins, I found it somewhat difficult to stop the ball on the putting surface.  Adjusting to the roll out of the Project X may take some time.  But again, if you don’t have trouble spinning or launching the ball, you may not see the same issues.  A nice little cheat that may help a spin/trajectory issue is to go down a flex.

If you like the feel of the shafts, but need need to tune the flex a touch, you can always hard or soft step them , since the weights of the shafts are the same throughout the set.  This means that you can put the 3 iron shaft in a 4 iron, or vice versa, in order to change that midsection profile.  This will change both the launch and spin either up or down depending.

project x rifle tour flighted 6.0

Final Thoughts

There’s a reason that the Project X has not only been around forever, but is so popular on Tour. It’s a great iron shaft.  If you’re looking for more penetrating iron shots, or to reduce your spin, take the Project X for a whirl .  With all of the flex and weight options available, faster, quick-transition swingers are sure to find a fit that matches their game for both feel and performance.

I recently picked up a set of TM P770’s with Projext X Rifle 6.0 shafts My previous set are 716 AP2’s with kbs tour shafts.

I made the switch seeking a lower ball flight and the project x is launching incredibly high? I’m perplexed. I’ve been hitting on a trackman and im losing close to a full club on each iron!?

Any feedback on this!? Next step would be checking the lofts for accuracy

' src=

So first, always a good idea to check lofts regardless. Just to know you’re hitting what you expect to be hitting there.

The thing we always stress with any fitting/performance, especially shafts, is that regardless of what they say on paper, your specific body and swing may respond to the gear combination a certain way and you’ll see different results. Like I’ve hit low launch/ low spin shafts exactly the opposite of what they’re supposed to do because it’s just how I’ve interacted with the gear.

So long story short, yes, one would think the Project X would be lower than a Rifled set, BUT that may just not be the right combo for you and your swing due to a variety of possible reasons. I’ve seen it a million times.

' src=

I love the regular project x shafts. I had some in my ping g irons. I bought a set of ping g425 irons they put the new project x lz in them. I dont care much for them.

' src=

What is the most common project X shaft for a senior golfer,hcp 12 hits 7 iron 135-140 yds

' src=

Way too many variables here. What’s your transition, swing speed, ball flight, etc.. Do you mean project x steel? Taper tip or parallel? Simply based on the above it’d probably be the softest flex that they offer in which ever shaft you go with, preferably 5.0. But that may not work for your game because again, too many variables.

My recommendation is to visit a local fitter and have them help you find the shaft that’s right for you.

Thanks for stopping in! Tommy

I’m going to add to your reply too. You’re dead on, but my thoughts are a great example of why you’re answer is dead on.

Senior or not, a 12 hdcp hitting a 7 iron 135-140 yards isn’t all that short for a seven iron. So sounds like he can swing the club a bit still. Maybe a 6.0 flex gets the job done?

But your point about ball flight I imagine is the big factor. Would the 5.0 be way too left hooking? Would the 6.0 get around or be a big right leaker?

' src=

Late reply, but someone might find it useful. I was fitted for a set with Project X 5.0 flighted 10 years ago. At that time I was a 45 with a 22 hcp and hit my 7 iron about +-130 m (142 yeards) with quite an aggressive swing. This was the only shaft that gave me a tight dispersion and also kept the flight down a bit to prevent it from going too high.

Now, 10-11 years later with an 11 hcp, I still love my clubs and hit the same distances. Due to aging my swing is far less aggressive, but I probably compensate with better hits, because the distances have not changed at all. Everything else about the flight is still “perfect”, except I no longer have any feeling of the head, which sometimes causes me to overswing.

I saw some old Wilson FG Tour V2s with KBS Tour Regulars for almost free and decided to buy them in order to test softer feeling shafts over several rounds. I immediately gained both feel and about 3 mph club head speed. Unfortunately it was all lost to higher spin and a higher ball flight, which I realy don’t need. Totally different feel, but results are the same (except when it is windy). And because its windy most of the time where I live close to the coast, high and spinny is not good. Maybe softstepping the Project Xs once would give some of the feel I’ve been missing without getting too much extra spin? Stronger lofts may fix two problems when at some pint age starts to cause shorter distances, but until then I’m not going to mess up my approach distances.

' src=

I’m a scratch golfer, 44 year old, with swing speed of 120 mph with the driver. I have a TM forged irons with project x 6.0 rifle shatfs. Is that ok for me, considered my age? Or I have to switch to 6.5 or even a 7.0 shaft? I also have a set of KBS 125 S+ shafts. Which one you reccomend for me?

' src=

Just been fitted with t100 irons. The project x lz 5.5 shafts were chosen. I have 7 iron swing speed of 70mph. I have lost 10 to 20 yds with the 7 iron. Put an ns950gh shaft in the 7 iron and gained more than what I lost. I think shaft too stiff and too heavy for me (75 years).

' src=

YOU ARE RIGHT ,I HAD PX RIFLE 5.5 IN MY MIZUNOS, I ALSO HIT 7 IRON 130 TO 140 ,DRIVES 240 TO 250, 5.5’S TO STOUT & STIFF, FOR ME 79 YRS. OLD. REPLACED 5.5’S WITH D.G. 105 R-300 AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH RESULTS.

' src=

What flex is the 5.0 installed in a set of Hogan irons

A 5.0 is a 5.0 regardless of the head. That’s the flex system project x uses. It’s the softest flex in the line, and would be most similar to a stiff flex in another brand.

Might be a silly question, but are you talking about vintage Hogans with Apex shafts in them? If they are Project X shafts, Tommy is dead on correct.

' src=

Is there a project graphite shaft that light that I can feel the head that gives me higher launch in a regular shaft

May want to check out this review:

https://drivingrangeheroes.com/project-x-cypher-shaft-review/

' src=

Do you know exactly what this means?? I was fit for these, but I’m just trying to understand what this means. Callaway-True-Temper-Project-X-S-0.355 thx

I’m assuming Project X – stiff flex (6.0 in PX terms) – .355 taper tip as opposed to .370 parallel tip.

' src=

oddly for me, i had the project x 6.0 on my Srixon ZX7 and after getting on trackman trying out different shafts, to my surprised, both Nippon NS 850 gh and Modus 130 Stiff gave me the lowest ball flight that i preferred.

Hank – Diff strokes for diff folks. I hate PX shafts and just switched to Nippon Pro Modus 125x to lower my ball flight. Love them. Thanks for stopping by!

Project X vs. Dynamic Gold: Which Is Better?

True Temper is one of the best shaft manufacturers in the golf industry.

The brand has a broad collection of shafts, and it can be pretty challenging to choose the best among them.

Project X and Dynamic Gold are both True Temper collections popular among professional golfers.

Many pro golfers have switched back and forth between these shafts. They share many similarities as they offer exceptional features to help golfers attain their ultimate shot.

This article will review both collections in generality and decide which is the best.

Project X vs. Dynamic Gold: Overview

Project X Vs. Dynamic Gold

Both Project X and Dynamic Gold are stand-out collections manufactured by Temper.

They have proven their qualities in helping golfers improve their games. Both consist of high-quality shafts that are popular among golfers of all levels because of their excellent features.

They share many similarities in their performance and even their pricing points.

Both are also USGA certified.

The significant difference between these collections is that Project X shafts are steel and graphite, while Dynamic Gold covers steel products.

The present best shaft of the Project X collection is the Project X HZRDUS smoke shaft which features a low-spin design making it perfect for golfers seeking improved distance.

Dynamic Gold X100 shaft is among the best shafts in the market. It can handle the fastest-swinging players in the game, and it’s popular among golfers on the PGA Tour.

To establish a better collection between the two shafts collections, we’ll be comparing them using some factors as discussed below:

Performance

Concerning performance, both brands offer shafts that produce outstanding performance.

The better one will depend solely on the particular shafts being compared. Generally, the performance differences are minimal.

Both brand shafts are designed for stronger swingers or better players looking for shot control and a less penetrating ball flight from the irons.

Comparing their best shafts, Project X usually launches higher than Dynamic Gold because of the slightly softer tip section they have.

Also, the primer midsection it has produces a stiffer feel when compared to Dynamic Gold.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Project X shafts are manufactured in graphite and steel/iron. It also advertises its metal shafts as iron and steel.

Dynamic Gold is strictly designed in steel and is simply marketed as such.

Regarding materials, it means Dynamic Gold shafts are heavier than Project X shafts.

In honesty, this might not do enough justice in differentiating the superior brand.

It only indicates that Project X has more varieties of options to choose from, as you can opt for lighter graphite shafts.

Dynamic Gold also has heavy steel and nothing else.

Product Varieties

It’s vital to discuss which offers customers more products between these brands under the same company.

Both lines boast an impressive number of products, but Dynamic Gold has the highest.

It has ten shaft lines, and all are manufactured with steel. On the other hand, the Project X line has nine products: four graphite shafts and five iron and steel shafts.

Of course, all Dynamic Gold shafts are marketed under a single page, while Project X has two pages to differentiate between the steel/iron and graphite shafts.

Price Range

The price range is another crucial factor before choosing the best brand. Generally, Dynamic Gold shafts are less expensive compared to the Project X line.

Even though Project X offers fewer shafts, the line is pricier, and there’s a significant price disparity between the products.

Dynamic Gold has more shaft options, but it is cheaper with a narrow price range.

It has a lesser starting price point as well as a lower maximum price for its product.

However, both brands provide numerous bundle options for their customers. You can get some shafts, in some cases 5 or 6, at a discounted price.

USGA Legality

The United States Golf Association(USGA) is the governing body of golf for the United States and Mexico.

In conjunction with R&A, the body produces rules of golf. They have specific requirements or regulations that all gold brands must meet to be entirely legal.

The laws are lenient and only provided so these brands can produce safe and comfortable golf clubs for customers.

According to these rules, both Project X and Dynamic Hold are fully legal.

Project X vs. Dynamic Gold: Which is Better?

Project X vs. Dynamic Gold

From the reviews and comparisons discussed so far, it’s apparent that there’s not much difference between the two brands.

Both are top brands that produce exceptional golf clubs for customers to improve their game.

However, both have distinctive features that might decide which is best for you, depending on your preferences.

Project X has fewer shaft ranges but more varieties because of the materials. It also has slightly better performance depending on the shafts.

Dynamic Gold, however, has more shafts at a lesser price.

You can choose the better one for yourself depending on these distinguishing factors. Whichever one you choose, you’ll be making a great choice.

Advantages and Disadvantages of using Rifle Flighted shafts

What is the basic difference between Rifle flighted and regular TT tapered shafts?

I somewhere heard that the Rifle shafts are not preferrable if you're not a fast swinger. Is it true?

Also, I'd like to know those confusing numbers (5.0, 5.5...etc) that those shafts are using. I know it has to do with the frequency but I'd like to know which one matches to which flex.

Personally, I'm comfortable with TT Dynamic Gold Regular. Which number I have to go with?

Are you sure you don't just mean to compare regular Rifle to TT Dynamic Gold?

Rifle Tour Flighted shafts are very different than almost any shaft on the market. They are designed so that the kickpoint of the shaft is lowered as the shaft length increases to help hit long irons higher and short irons lower. In actuality they seem to hit pretty high in general, especially compared to DG's.

The numbered fitting system refers to CPM's or frequency. If you bolt down the grip end and pull and release the head and measure the frequency with an oscilloscope, the higher the frequency, the stiffer the shaft. Royal Precision produces Rifle shafts to match by frequency as opposed to by weight (which is how TT does it).

In terms of True Temper shaft flexes, a DG S300 shaft is about the same flex as a 5.5/6.0 Rifle shaft.

Keep in mind though, that comparing True Temper DG to Rifle Flighted is like apples and oranges as it is more comparable to regular Rifle.

I disagree with the notion that Rifle shafts are designed for harder swingers. However, just as with all other shafts you need to get the right flex. The problem is that many people fail to realize that a Rifle 5.0 is stiffer than a DG R flex and that Rifle 6.0 is comparable to a true temper X flex in terms of frequency. The common misconception is that 6.0 is stiff and 5.5 is regular. This misconception has lead a lot of Rifle shaft users to use way too stiff a shaft. I believe that the reason for this misconception is that since Rifle shafts tend to fly the ball a little higher people fail to realize they're using too stiff a flex in Rifles, but their website has a handy chart for determining which flex is right for you based on 6-iron distance. If you hit your 6-iron 165 yards, you are a 5.5.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, I think I meant regualr Rifle shafts. I thought that they are the same one.

Anyway, does that mean I have to go for 5.0?

And..Again, I don't still don't know what properties of Rifle shaft make it being preferred by advanced players.

--------------------------------

I didn't see your edited massage. Thanks a lot for your detailed reply!

I agree with previous posts that the best option would be to visit a Certified Rifle and get fitted. If you don´t have that chance and like the DG Regular I think that you should go for a 4.5 since 5.0 is more of a firm (between regular and stiff) flex.

The reason why many tour players prefer Rifle shafts is because with the frequency measurement method there is much greater consistency through the whole set of irons than with the simple weighting. Maybe because of this True Temper recently released their frequency tuned DGBlack...

Finally, I would go for Flighted Rifle rather than the regular version. I used to play Rifle 5.5 and following the recommendation of Royal Precision I requested Flighted Rifle 5.5 in my new set of irons and never looked back. I gained tremendous accuracy in the long (higher and straighter flight curve) and short (lower) irons.

I've hit various combination of irons with DG and Rifle and I feel that some clubs just performs/feels better in DG's and some in Rifles.

I've hit Callaway X-Tours in Project X 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and DGS300.

I normally play S300 but in X-Tours it felt terrible. In PX 5.5 it felt a bit loose, in PX 6.0 it was absolutely perfect - I was one club longer! and PX 6.5 felt good but just too stiff for me.

So the only to really know if to try it - unless you want to get fancy and get into hard-stepping/soft-stepping.

Nowhere else but on this site have I read such great and knowledgeable opinions.THIS IS THE BEST GOLF SITE,,,BAR NONE!Thank you.

what are the disadvantages of going a little too stiff besides losing distance?

My experience with going a little too stiff in Rifles is that they feel really boardish, like you're forcing the shaft to work. I suppose that's true of any shaft though, but it seems there is a fine threshold with Rifles...go a little too stiff and you lose all feel.

What about hitting the ball "in the screws"? If I hit a TMSpeed Blade 6-iron with Project X 5.5 my strikes are 4 lines up with 1/8" to 1/4" in variation toward toe and heel. But if I hit a Callaway Diablo Forged 6-iron with Uniflex shaft my strikes have a wider dispersion, e.g., 1/4" to 3/8" toward heel and toe. My ball speed measures for a "regular" shaft. Could it be the shaft is causing the wider dispersion? or what? I have tried the test sufficient times (i think) to eliminate "pilot error." I like the "soft" feel of the forged club => do I need to replace the Uniflex shafts in order to hit the ball "in the screws"?

    Finally, I would go for Flighted Rifle rather than the regular version.

I gained tremendous accuracy in the long (higher and straighter flight curve) and short (lower) irons. Good luck. Regards.
