Ok so I consider myself relatively knowledgeable about equipment and in particular shafts. But sometimes I'm not sure what differentiates one shaft from another and by how much. My knowledge is mostly of low launch stuff. The goal right now is to find something to go into the Hogan PTx irons. The KBS tourV 120x just feel really soft to me and aren't working out. This is going to be kind of difficult because I want super low launch and spin from 6i/7i-pw and something a little higher launch in the 4i/5i and maybe 6i. The flighted sets all seem to be too soft from what I understand and have tried. Not many high swing speed players want flighted shafts and while I probably don't need them, these irons may or may not(depending how testing goes) be in the bag for a long time to come so its worth it to look. I understand the the DG AMT aren't flighted and are just weight sorted and get heavier through the set so that may be an option. DG Pro sort of peaked my interest as well. What about DG black gold? Is that just an older version of DG pro? I don't know as much about some of the more exotic shaft options but I know Nippon Super Peening Blue have been recommended to me in the past. About me: SS with the driver is 120ish and 6i is around 100. Transition is on the faster side but working on it. Previous shafts that I've used that have worked well in the past are: PX 6.5/7.0 DGx100/X7 KBS Ctaper130x Any input would be helpful. And yes i'm definitely a tinkerer, I know.

I'm really happy to report my order is in for Srixon Z745's and I'm going with Steelfiber 110 stiff. I still like a fair amount of weight for feedback, but have enjoyed going a little lighter with shafts like PXi's in the last couple seasons. I'm still playing S400's in my wedges, which I like, and know the distances and trajectories, but I'm not a real high spin player and usually "hop and stop" is about the extent of my wedge spin. Not bad, but I do wonder if the S400 doesn't mitigate spin too much for me. For those who also game or have gamed Aerotechs: which wedge shaft did you go with? Same model and weight? Heavier? Different shaft altogether? Right now, I'm leaning toward the 110's in the wedges as well. 125 I wonder if it too wouldn't be akin to the S400, if not less spin. Guess I'd appreciate any feedback on the 125 from those who have hit them. Thank you!
