I'm really interested in trying the Titleist 910 series. Wish I could afford to be a club ho!
 
Now here's a thought: take a rescue head, say 16.5* RBZ....and stick a 3W shaft in it. 2 inches longer. Now I'm pondering alright.

I'm looking for a 58* as well - not the 6* bounce though, the 10. I think I may buy a 56-10 and bend it to a 58-12 since I'd prefer the bounce. You should find a 52-10 and make it a 50-08

All this talk about the J40 and not able to get it into the air with the stock shaft has me a little concerned....gonna have to research the shaft options today - maybe need to consider something with a slightly higher launch profile than the PX blue.

I know the J40 head is really low spinning, that may have something to do with it.

Correct, it is a low spin head but supposed to be mid to high launch. The stock PX blue shaft is touted as penetrating launch with low spin.

Thinking that a higher launching shaft is needed for this combo to be optimum.

ETA: the PX black is touted as low spin with optimized peak trajectory. Thinking that may be the ticket...

I was going to say, the Black might be a better fit for a higher launch out of that J40.

WHY did I decide to jack with a new driver when the ML4 is stupid easy and long for me?

Don't worry too much about it Cookie. I hit it just fine

Yeah, reading about is very promising if it is made available to us.

Thanks, good to know. I will know here soon enough if I dig the lightweight shaft or not so should get a better idea if I want to go the PX black route or not.
 
The PX black will perform very similarly to the Blue. You should read my reviews :)

F you're worried about too low of launch look at a shaft like the Radix.

I've been thinking about this for a little bit - is there no chat about the Razr Fit 3W? I may be just missing it, but I am curious about it.

I deserved that....and I do recall from your review how they basically perform identical except for the black being lower weight. Guess I was just surprised to hear several people mention the ultra low ball flight. Is that just a bad combination of a low spin head & shaft? I usually do not have any issues at all getting the ball in the air with the driver.

Well, for me the PX isn't really low spin/launch so it's hard to say. I've seen a fella absolutely bombing the j40 but he's a natural high spin golfer.

I do think that if you're a low spin golfer that you might want to pair this head with a mid/high spin shaft. The Radix is a good one too man. Just food for thought.

I did not hit it with the stock shaft in it though.

Thanks for the added info TC. When I hit the J38 previously, I was seeing about 2500-3000 on my backspin but that was with a completely different shaft than what is in the J40.

That is correct. I just could not get the ball in Air with that combo.

I may have some for sale very shortly. My 3 wood has all but been replaced by a Ping G20, and the hybrid is next to go. I will be getting a driver fitting once the weather gets a little nicer.

As you can see in my sig, my 910s all currently have PX 5.5 shafts (basically a regular shaft, although slightly on the stiff side). I also have a 6.0 shaft for the driver.
