I play off a Handicap of 6 and like these Irons and the weight of the
Shaft.
My problem is that the ball flight is too high, can you suggest
other shafts that would lower the flight with a similar weight?
most of my comes at impact as I have compact swing (Hockey)

Rory,
Try the KBS Tour and the Project Xi shafts. They are mid weight shafts designed to lower ball flight.
Best,
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Thanks, I was looking @ these shafts,
any preference ??

I was thinking of putting KBS C Taper R+ in my
AP1's to lower the flight, my Irons are 1/2" longer
than standard, would this help as losing too much
distance with the D.G. XPS300's ????

The C-Tapers should help lower your flight, compared to the DG XP shafts. Were you fitted for these clubs? You could also hard step the XP's to see how you like your ball flight then. The shafts mentioned above are also great shafts. The PXi is an excellent shaft.
I was fitted but the flight is too high!
the online fitting system puts me
with KBS Tour R+, would this shaft
have lower & stronger flight with
the Ap1's ?
What shaft would you suggest between
KBS C Taper Tour R+ . ( are these stiffer than XpS300)
KBS Tour R+ or S
Project Xi R or S
to lower the flight in my Ap1's and increase distance swing speed 79 - 82 with 6 Iron ( short compact
swing ?
the weight of the KBS shafts in Reg are 115g, very close
to the Xps300's (117g)
I'd suggest the C-Tapers in R+ flex. The PXi's aren't bad either. Perhaps you should try, say, a C-Taper in 1-2 irons, and a PXi in another couple. However, it's always best to get fitted for the best, optimal shaft for you and your game. Do you have a Titleist rep near you?
Hi David,
Yes I may go to a Titleist fitting
session when it comes to my area.
I see the KBS Tour C Taper R+ on the KBS
website says it suits swing speeds between
75-85 Mph, I'm pretty close to that, I read
that they play quite stiff ? do they have a
harsh feel like the Project X as I
don't like that ? And would the Reg be
more suitable if they play stiffer ??
I'm getting the XPS300 Hard Stepped
to see if that will lower the flight,
Yeah, that should help lower your spin, along with a "higher" launching shaft...that could help lower your flight some.
I've hit the C-Taper X's and PX 6.5's. I feel that the C-Tapers were friendlier than the PX's. They had a much smoother, balanced feel at impact. However, I still like the PX's.
You could play an R flex C-Taper. The R+ could be a touch too stiff. It's just really hard to tell without going through a fitting.
I will see how the hard stepping goes 1st,
It says on the Uk fitting chart that C Taper R+
is not available in the Ap1's ???
I think the R+ would be better as the flex
chart says its 75 - 90 Mph & the R is 70 - 85 Mph.
My speed is 82 - 85 ( 6 Iron ) & I have a short swing
& the power comes @ impact
what do you think ?
I got them Hard Stepped & shot 2 level par rounds so far !
they do feel heavier but I will keep going as the flight is
definitely lower & my distance is much better,
time for some practice,
