SHAFT QUERY

Can anyone please tell me what this means?

FCM 6.5 RIFLE PRECISION

Does this mean regular, stiff or what? Looking into buying some new irons off the web, I am used to regular shafts so just seeing if they're going to suit my game.

Many thanks in advance.

6.5 on the Rifle scale is a wee bit softer than True Temper Extra Stiff (X), but a good bit firmer than TT Stiff. You will need to have a fairly decent swing speed to get the most out of these, say driver carry over 250 yards, 6 iron 175 carry or more.

Rifles 6.5 are around the stiff-x stiff

Regular is 5.0-5.5

Hope this helps

I don't like the rifle shafts myself, but I think 6.5 would be a little stiffer than the DGs300 (stiff) not quite extra stiff but stiffer than a normal stiff.

X100 is about Rifle 6.8, S300 about Rifle 5.8.
