Duffer19 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I was in a Callaway store in a brand new mall in Hong Kong this weekend and saw two sets of x forged irons with Project X 5.0. IMO the X forged is one of the most attractive of any Callaway products (wood and irons) but I am totally ignorant of the project x spec. This shaft option is not even in the Japanese Callaway site. The store itself is basically a clothing store hence no help there. What is 5.0 and how does it compared to nspro 950. DG or Callaway's uniflex steel? Any comment would be appreciated.

rb2235 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 5.0 is regular flex Different animal than Nippon in terms of feel. Nippons much smoother at least in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Golfer Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 . IMO the X forged is one of the most attractive of any Callaway products (wood and irons) I believe this is an Endo forging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Yes it is forged by Endo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Thanks guys, found out from Master that the Project X is US spec set while the JDM uses nspro and DG. Beautifully made heads though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmclarenf1 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 5.0 is regular flexDifferent animal than Nippon in terms of feel. Nippons much smoother at least in my experience. Isn't the 5.0 on the rifle scale a firm flex with regular being 4.5 and 5.5 being a stiff? I recall reading this on another site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yes 4.5 on the Rifle scale is listed as an R flex on the Royal Precision site if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmond Golfer Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 The Project X is very stiff across the line, more so than standard rifles. The PX 5.0 is a very stiff shaft, both as to butt and tip and plays similar to the DG S. Definitely not suitable for someone usually in the reg or firm range of flexes.
