• Project X 5.0 Shaft Specs

Project X Iron Shaft from True TemperThe Project X design is different from the stepped shafts designs made by True Temper. The EI profile is constant from flex to flex, The stiffness increases as the shaft weight increases. The numbers on the shaft, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 represent stiffness. They are a patented numbering system that dates back to FM Precision. Frequency of the shaft was translated via a linear formula into a stiffness numbering system.

A 10 Cycle per Minute, CPM, difference equated to a stiffness number change. When you hear the term frequency matched shafts, it refers to a system, not necessarily the original Braly system, of matching iron set stiffness.Here is a little history if you are interested, Union Hardware was the first manufacturer of steel golf shafts in the US in 1924. They were acquired in 1956 by Brunswick, which also owned MacGregor golf. Brunswick supplied blanks to FM Precision, a golf shaft company owned by Kim Braly and his dad, Dr. In 1986 Brunswick acquired FM Precision. At some point, the name was changed to Royal Precision.

In the early 2000’s Kim Braly designed the Project X and it quickly gained wide acceptance on tour. In 2006 True Temper acquired Royal Precision and the Project X brand.

Until competitive designs emerged, it was for many good players, the shaft of choice. Radial quality and shaft to shaft consistency in the shafts I have checked is excellent. The Project X can be installed in any orientation, being nearly perfectly round, orientation will have no affect on the play-ability of the Project X.This entry was posted in, on. Post navigation.

I believe 5 is Regular and 5.5 is Stiff altough I have been told that 5.5 is more like a firm Regular and 6 is Stiff.Anyway, my irons (purchased second hand) have 5.5 in them and I hit them well enough although maybe 10-15m shorter than I'd like.Is it worth my while spending money on going from 5,5 to 5? Is it relly going to make that much of a difference to me? I mean it's not like I'm playing 6.5's.I know I know get fitted and I should but at the moment I'm just doing some research and trying to learn all about these shafts. Hows this for cant win.I ordered PX 5.5s in mizuno mp-60s.

I took me 2 months to realize (duh.look at the sticker dummy) i found them to be pretty good, but as my 6 iron swing speed is 90mph+ i thought i would benefit from making the buggers give me what i ordered. The only difference i noted after changing over was that i hit the 5.5s slightly flatter into the wind, which i like.

They certainly didnt feel a whole lot stiffer, or result in any significant difference in flight or shape. Then the head of my 6 iron flew off at the range, i gave them the shaft and asked them to retrieve the head and stick it back on. When they gave me the club back it had a s300 shaft stuck in it(!?) Oh well, lets have a crack, feels very similar to the 5.5 flex wise but i like it better. It feels a little fraction stouter in the tip. For the moment i am playing with 6 iron that is the same length as my 7 iron and a different shaft than the rest of the set. For my two bobs worth, projects 'feel' a lot stiffer than just regular Rifle scale/ ratings.so projesct 5.5 feel more like a 6 or above in another rifle/ kbs shaft. They are shaft where you really need to go after on each swing, smooth tempo just dosn't seem to do it for these shafts.IMO.One of the clubfitters rating systems has project 5.5 at around x 100, though for broad terms Jon - Golf guy is somewhere near it.For Kiwi, i got out of Project 5.5 in the MX 25's and into KBS 5.5/ stiff in the 57's and they feel better, smoother and go further.My 5 iron swing speed is on 90.Ratnyka.

EZ-Weld forge flux can be used with both iron and steel.Stableweld Forge Welding Flux has a lower (12%) metal loading than the EZ-Weld, Cherry, and Climax fluxes. White powder used in forging time. This forge flux is used in forge applications that require a lower metal concentration in the flux.

Well figure this out.I took my 1976 Wilson Staff blades shafted with stiff 34 year old shafts to the range today and was hitting 9 iron to between 115-125m maybe a little more and 7 iron close to 150m - no wind - accurate yardages -with roll.I guess my swing was just right today. Conentrated on a smooth on plane takeaway and then just fired the hips through. Also focussed on minimising the swaying that was creeping into my swing.Now, if I can hit a 34 year old stiff shafted 9 iron blade 125m then I would say that the firm/regualr project X 5.5's would be fine for me flex wise.Drummonds measured my swing speed a couple of years ago and recommended regular shafts. I can't remember what my speed was but I know that my swing has defintley changed since then.

It may be time for another fitting/measurement.OR is 125m crap for a 9 iron with a loft of around 44/45deg? Am I getting excited about nothing?
