LoganT 202 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Title says it all. I want to know if any of you golfers have played the project x 6.5 shafts and what other shafts on the market would be closest to them in terms of performance. (Launch, spin, etc.) I currently play these shafts and love the performance. I have gotten used to the feel of these but find myself desiring a different feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
03trdblack 838 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 KBS Ctaper 130x should be similar but probably feel better. 1 Quote My bag is a revolving door! Link to post Share on other sites
KatoGolfer 33 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 After playing Project X 6.0 iron shafts for 15 years I switched to Nippon Modus3 Tour 120 - S shafts for the past two years and really like the change. The Modus3 130 - x shafts would be closer to the 6.5. 1 Quote Driver: Taylormade '16 M2, Aldila NV 2KXV X 3W: Taylormade '16 M2, Speeder 661 X 3: Callaway X-forged UT 21* 4-P: Callaway X-Forged, Modus 3 120 - S Wedges: 50* - Callaway Apex Pro 19, 54* - Taylormade Milled Grind 2 black, 58* - Taylormade Milled Grind 2 black Putter: currently Odyssey Works V-Line Versa CB - 36" Ball - Bridgestone Tour B X Link to post Share on other sites

tommc23 9,883 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I honestly think the best thing would be go hit different shafts and see what you like best. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree completely. I love the performance of the project x shafts just wish I could find something that felt a little better 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Feel much better and characteristics match up very similar. Probably either S+ or X if you are playing 6.5 2 Quote SIM 9.5* (GD XC 6X) SIM 15* (GD DI 7X) 2 DHY (GD DI HY8X) ZX7 4-PW (KBS C Taper S) Vokey SM8 49 08 F ( KBS 610) Vokey SM8 55 08 M (KBS 610) Vokey SM8 59 04 L (KBS 610) Studio Stock 28 Slotback 33.5" Tour BX Twitter @THEZIPR23 "One thing Golf has taught me, is that my muscles have no memory."

The Modus3 130 - x shafts would be closer to the 6.5. I came here looking to ask a similar question!. I currently have Rifle/Project X 6.5 in my 20 year old irons. Never been fit, but looking to possibly get new similar clubs soon. I noticed these on Sub-70 used page. Though I like the price point and the look of the 639 CB/MB Black combo, I'm afraid to go to the KBS Tour V90 Stiff shaft. There are some 639CB satin w/ Pro modus 120 X-Stiff for a bit more, but looks like might be a better fit based on the shaft.

Golfmanufaktur 29 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Modus 120 is a very different profile compared to PX. Way softer under the hands and in the middle section of the shaft. They are similarly firm in the tip section though. Not saying, that you can not replace PX by a Modus 120, but it’s not a given, that it will work out the intended way. The easiest replacement is the C-Taper 130X.....very similar shaft, since it’s been designed to mimic the PX. Another option could be DG X7. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoganT 202 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Seems like c-taper 130x is the most similar. I’ll definitely have to try them out. How do the kbs tour v shafts compare? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Golfmanufaktur 29 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 KBS Tour V basically is a beefed up KBS Tour with a firmer tip section. Nowhere near as stout as PX, but firmer feeling compared to KBS Tour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RickyBobby_PR 5,830 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 In my experience there is no shaft like PX. From what I remember of our discussion at their HQ the PX shaft is stout the whole length of the shaft whereas other companies change tend to have a section of their shafts play softer in some sections than others. Keep in mind that shafts are going to feel and perform different for each person as well as possible performance differences between heads. The best thing to do is get fit for a shaft that matches your swing with your head choice. 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to post Share on other sites
