Which shaft would these compare to in the true temper ranger, and likewise for the 6.5?
project x 6.0 iron shafts

Have a peek at the chart attached, DGX100 & same again but hard stepped looks to cover both bases.

Stiffness wise near to the x100 but play very differently. Feel and ball flight are totally different, X100 has a better feel and gives a lower trajectory, I also feel that the x100 spins less.

Well in the vr pro combo the 6.0 played awesome, I was 3/4swing punching the 6i about 15 yards past my current 6i on full gas!

I usually play my Titleist AP2's with Project X 5.5 but the combo Mizzys I bought have Project X 6.0 and they go straighter and maybe a little longer

As I understand it, FCM is a way of measuring shaft flex based on frequency.
You put the shaft in a machine that holds it at one end, and twang the other end. The machine measures the frequency of oscillations.
I remember Ethan saying before that S300 play about 5.3 on the PX scale (the PX one, not the other one that is half a flex softer). Having said that, I've gone from S300 to PX6.0 and they don't feel any stiffer to swing to me. It might have something to do with the extra weight of the S300, but I'm only guessing.

Well I've tried the s300's and the nippons and its a no go........ 6.0px or KBS needed!
To reshaft or replace is the question!

More tempted to reshaft if I'm honest although RAZR x forged or pro combos are appealing

Part of me is saying reshaft, but part of me knows the cost inc grips is £150 ish but for 350 I can have new razr forged and move the tp's on for £225

depends on cost I suppose. I like my irons and they will last a good few more years. but the shafts are an easy swap once thecraw showed me.

I cud be in a position to sell a px 6.0 6 iron shaft and a kbs tour stiff 6 iron shaft. to swap into your 6 iron
and possible a 4-pw kbs tour stiff shaft set with new golf pride tour velvet grips
