    A standard shaft that will be readily available will be the True Temper XP95.  It weighs 99 gram (R300) and 101 (S300)

    You can order the GS95 as an "off menu" shaft in R300 and S300, but we ask that once the order has been placed that you not cancel or make any changes to the order.  We would quote you 2-3 weeks on getting the GS95 shaft, but depending on True Temper's inventory,they might take longer to get that shaft to us.

    Cathi:  am looking at purchasing the new AP2 714 irons.  I currently use the original AP2s with Project X 5.0 shafts.  I am a senior player and can hit it pretty high. I probably release a bit too early.   I am interested in the new XP 95 shaft which advertises longer distance but tight dispersion.  However, I am concerned it will launch too high.  What do you think?  I am also wondering if the Dynalite Gold XP and Project X pxi will launch too high.  If they all launch too high that leaves me back at the Project X 5.0, which is not a bad thing, but was looking for the benefits of the latest technology.  Your thoughts please.  Thx. Scott

    Hello Scott

    My name is Steve from Zion Golf in Saint George ut. Cathi from Team Titleist contacted me saying you were looking to get fit for 714 ap2 but not sure on what shafts your looking for. I am an authorized fitter for titleist so give me a call at 435-628-3707 and we can get the fitting started.

    Hello Steve Rob M from Bountiful UT. I'm on the border between stiff and Reg. Just bought new Ap2s/714 with DG S300 and the flight seems high just like the KBS tours I had in a set of MP59s. The Pro at Lakeside suggested I try the S400 to lower my flight. Questions are: will an S400 generally lower ball flight and what would you recommend for a shaft tweener? I'll be done in your part of the country in Feb so I'll drop in. Thanks

    The XP95 may launch higher than the PX shaft that you currently use, and if you try te PXi, that will also tend to launch a touch higher so you may want to try a 5.5.  But, as all golfers are unique, we would recommend seeing a local fitter in your area to get a fitting and try the shafts before you make a decision.

    Cathie I presently play ap2's with the Dg HL r300 shafts is the new xp95 shaft similar I love the HL shaft and understand it is no longer available. Getting ready to order the 714 AP2 thinking maybe the XP 95 might do the trick.

    Hi,

    The HL shaft weighs a little more, 111 vs 99 grams, launches slightly lower and would be in between the Dynalite Gold XP shaft and the XP95 as far as launch and spin.  I would recommend hitting it to see if you like the lighter overall weight.

    Hi Cathi:

    I ordered he new AP2s, 4-GW with XP95 reg shafts.  I am really disappointed with the shafts.  At the time I ordered the XP105 shaft was not avalable.  I had tried these shaft while being fitted and they launched lower.

    I am thinking of reshafting  with the Project X 5.0 or the XP105.  What tip do I need?  Is reshafting availbe through Titleist?  What is charge for Project X and XP105?  

    Thx. Scott

    We use a .355 taper tipped shaft in the irons. We do offer reshafting services through Titleist, but you will have to set it up through a pro shop.  I'm not sure how long ago you were fit and ordered these, but we would recommend talking to your fitter to address the shaft issues and get pricing for the reshafting as it may differ from MSRP.  The MSRP for a reshaft with XP105 is $45.00 which includes the shaft, a standard grip and the reshafting.  The MSRP to reshaft to PX is higher as it is an upcharge shaft - $60.00.

    Just curious, what is it you do not like about the shafts....I played project X 5.5 shafts and went to XP95 Shafts on my new clubs, based on a fitting.......I am having some issues as well and wanted to compare notes.......thanks.....chuck

  12. I'm also swapping mine out. Just can't get any tempo going with them plus I'm hitting really frequent thin shots or the ball is coming off low on the face which is killing my confidence. Probably going back to Project X 5.5. 

  13. I was fitted last year with AP2s and the XP95 R300 shafts. The fitting was done on the range and not on any computer analyzer. I simply don't like how these shafts feel. I seem to pull the ball as well. I am thinking of switching to Project X PXi, getting re-fitted for a 5.0 or 5.5. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
