Nippon makes a fantastic shaft - and very friendly in X.
I hope it's a great fit.

What do you think @Scarnici - hunting pins?
My favorite iron and wedge shaft right there.
I played around with the 7i from a fitting cart today. Even though I was not wearing the right stuff (seriously don't try and get a feel in boots/jacket while indoors) I was really impressed. Seeing good ballspeed. Launch was a bit higher than expected and spin was in a good window. My only thing is I wish I could of tried something other than the IO 6.5 and the LZ 6.0 that was more in the weight and profile I like but who knows with the drop in playing I'll do next year if I should also go with the lower weight.

So who's taking advantage of the extra trade-in bonus on some new CB's?!
Haven't seen that yet.So who's taking advantage of the extra trade-in bonus on some new CB's?!
I feel like I missed something - trade bonus you say? Still tempted by a 5 & 6.
Haven't seen that yet.
Huh. It was up at all the stores here yesterday. Should have grabbed a pic of the signage for the exact details. Trade in bonus towards X Forged CB irons, BB21 drivers fwys hybs and irons, and something Mavrik. Pretty sure that was it. One said they had literally just put the (whatever we call little ad signs in golf stories) out when I mentioned it.
I got some unwanted clarification on it yesterday. 6 piece minimum on the X Forged CB to qualify. So it's off to eBay for me to sell, and then just order the couple I want.You must have gotten the early look. Will keep my eyes peeled.
Good info @Tevenor ! Their literature basically says spin robustness, consistency, forgiveness. Sounds like that was you're experience. I've tried to mention to a few people that the X Forged CB's are more forgiving than I think people believe they'll be. It surprised me.
Since they one wasn't a fitting head, I'm assuming you at least saw/held the rest of the set. What did you think about the look and shape of them?Finally had a chance to hit the x-forged cb today. 7i with a glued in Project X IO S shaft, rather than a fitting head. Solid feel at impact and numbers I would expect for me at that loft. On the forgiving side. Shaft felt pretty good. The head is little bigger than I expected but looks far better in person than the photos. Very nice iron. I will put in more time with it over the next few weeks.

Yeah, it's all about the perceived offset created by the transition. If you're taking about the ZX7 @GraniteRoost , they definitely have less perceived offset than the X Forged.
I can probably drop them down next to each other and snaps some pics for your tomorrow.I was referring to my z745's as I have not had the ZX7 in hand yet, but their specs are the same on offset. I actually have a spreadsheet open on this X Forged CB to ZX7 comparison (darn mm to inches conversions!), and the ZX7 are more progressive, having a 0.008" more offset at the 4 iron and in the long irons and 0.019" less by the time you get to PW.

So hard to try to show in pictures @GraniteRoost , but maybe it'll come through in these.

Grabbed some of the soles and shapes for you too.
