It is great that you have been able to test them all out in the same head on the monitor.
This is undoubtedly a dumb question, but I've always wondered - How do they arrange for you to put different shafts in heads like that? Do they just screw in?
That's pretty awesome. I really hope the timing works out for me to get to GolfTec to do that. I'm with you on the XP's. I have bad history with them and just couldn't put them in a club even if I was told they were my best fit.
I want something lighter in weight and something that is lower launching so I'm probably going to go with Nippon's. I tested slews or shafts too. Put them all in the Wilson Staff FG Tour 6iron head and got some numbers from some shafts. I tested the PX 6.0, KBS Tour in Stiff and the Nippon NS Pro 950. The Nippon's offered the lowest launch angle at 22.8* and the lowest shot height at 40'. The PX 6.0 was also pretty good, and it's pretty clear that the KBS' might offer a bit too much spin for me, especially if I don't go to the xstiff.
TC any chance you would go with the C-Tapers, or is that not an option? I know they don''t hit the lighter weight category, but do hit the lower launch. Just curious.
Stopped at golf galaxy while out in rochester today. Was able to hit a few different iron shafts. Numbers were fairly similar between the ones that I hit but I was really impressed with the PX 5.5 graphite. They felt lighter than the steel and my ball flight was slightly higher(according to the numbers on the sim). Also the dispersion seemed pretty tight. Strong possibility that they will be in my J40 DPCs come Morgan cup time.

Got on the shaft optimizer today with the following results:
Recommended Steel shafts:
- Club Head Speed: 86 mph
- Tempo: 5
- Shaft Toe Down: 4
- Shaft Kick Angle: 5
- Release Factor: 7
1) DG XP S300 117g High
2) Project X 5.5 115g Mid-Low
3) KBS Tour 120g Mid
Recommended Graphite shafts:
1) Project X 5.5 93g Mid
I am leaning towards the Project X as I have the KBS currently and the ball flight is a little high for me. The graphite shafts are interesting and I would like to find a place to hit some. C-tapers are also on the radar and they are not in the shaft optimizer software.
I did the optimizer again recently and got:
CHS: 92 mph
Tempo: 6
Shaft Toe Down: 5
Shaft Kick Angle: 9
Release Factor: 5
I have no idea what half of that stuff means but again, it recommended:
KBS Tour in Xstiff (which i won't be doing)
PX 6.5 (which I won't be doing)
DG X100 (which I won't be doing)
Interesting.

I just like it gives a good starting point haha. I'm a regular flex'er now!
old age is catching up with you hehe
Well, I finally got on a lie board tonight. Only hit a couple balls since I was in a lesson and he says it could change, but confirmed that I need some more flatness in my irons. Was nice to see my thoughts validated I guess. Also explains why I'm all over the heel in the VR S irons (they are 1.5° more upright than my irons). I knew it was important, but just never really realized how much I guess.
Thats huge Hawk. IIRC from a THP radio show, 1* could cost someone 10 yards!

That would make sense with what I typically have been seeing on the course. I'm going to wait another month or so before I get on the board again in case anything changes, but I get it now and will definitely have the irons/wedges I go with set correctly for me.
