So, I'm trying the PXi shafts in my Apex Pros for a couple of reasons and noticed somethings that I hope you guys can help me out with. I had the C-Taper Lites in there but even with the lofts set at - 2* the ball was still going higher than I want. Plus, I've got the PXis going into my MC irons and wanted to get re-acquainted with them. I've had the shaft before in MP59s and X-forged with no issues. So this has got me a bit perplexed.
1) Both shafts are playing the same length and are roughly the same weight, but the swing weight with the PXi is anywhere from 6-10 points higher. I'm not sure why this is the case. Could anyone help explain this? I know I can back weight the club, to even it all out, but it just seems a bit odd that I would need to do this. Would the balance point be the cause?
2) My hands are KILLLING me. I went with the 5.5 shaft (play a stiff normally) and didn't expect my hands to feel the way they do. I'd suspect that this would have a little to do with how tip heavy the club feels and is stressing the muscles in my hands a bit more.
Has anyone else seen this with shafts, or any of the above?
