skyryder Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I realize that this effort is full of potential issues, but here goes. I live in Hong Kong full time, which in the "before time" was actually not so bad from a golf perspective. I had easy access to some nice courses just across the border and a 3 day trip to Thailand, or Vietnam was not an issue at all. Last spring I bought a new set of Sub70 699 irons with steel shafts and I also have hit the TM P770/ 799 series. I love the look of all three, but I just can't seem to get the performance (at least distance) I get from my graphite shafts in the Rogue X irons I have been hitting the last 3 years or so. I have access to a very good club builder here in HK but he doesn't have a testing/fitting facility. I also have easy access to Foresight/ Trackman and a few other types of hitting bays to gather data. The only brick and mortar fitting operations I have found here have limited capability to test different shafts, especially for irons. My builder recommended finding a shaft I like or want to try and let him put it into a 7 or 8 iron and just hit it a while and see if it works. That sounds like a good plan, especially since actually being able to get on grass for the time being is out of reach. I have access to a lot of swing data and it seems pretty consistent across the different platforms, but am curious is anyone could suggest a website that may have a way to plug in some of the numbers and spit out a couple of shaft recommendations to take a look to try out. Thanks in advance for the feedback fixyurdivot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby_PR Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Golfworks has a fitting tool and they cover a lot of shafts. https://www.golfworks.com/mpf-shaft-worksheet/a/496/ KBS and UST Mamiya have shaft fits. At one point I think true temper and project x had them as well fixyurdivot 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shafts are in the Rogue X? Was there a reason you opted not to have the same shafts installed on the 699's? Sounds like that profile fits you well and would be the logical baseline for any contenders.
