Dynamic Gold X100 Vs Project X 6.5 Shaft Comparison

Dynamic Gold X100 Vs Project X 6.5 Shaft

Which is the true king of the True Temper heavy weight iron shafts? Find out in the following comparison.

Dynamic Gold X100 Shaft Overview

“The DG X100 is an extra stiff shaft and weighs 130 grams.”

My immediate impression of the DGX100 was that it was stout. I couldn’t discern any kick point during my testing.

But it did produce very tight dispersion whether I reigned in my swing or swung out of my shoes.

The feel takes some time to get used to if you haven’t gamed 120+ gram iron shafts.

Project X 6.5 Review – Specs, Flex, Weight

“The Project X 6.5 weighs 125 grams and is an extra stiff flex shaft.”

The Project X 6.5 definitely felt more responsive than the DGX100. I felt like it was actually helping me accelerate the club head.

As a result, I was getting better ball speed and carry. But my dispersion widened by 3.1 yards on average.

“The Dynamic Gold X100 comes out on top in this comparison. My only knock on it was its super-stout feel; but that’s something you can get used to.

Besides that, it is tighter and more accurate than the Project X 6.5 while delivering comparable distance.”

Dynamic Gold X100 First Impressions

We actually thought the Dynamic Gold X100 was lighter than 130 grams. It doesn’t feel much heavier than other Dynamic Gold shafts we’ve tested; but then again, none of us are hypersensitive players.

Key Features & Performance

The strength of this shaft is really outstanding. It imparts excellent flight control and stability to the player.

Dynamic Gold X100 Wedges Review

The Dynamic Gold X100 is ideal for wedges. Your ball will never balloon out of control and flight is highly controllable.

Dynamic Gold X100 Irons Review

For long irons, the Dynamic Gold X100 will add distance to your shots. On short approaches, you will get the spin control you need.

Dynamic Gold X100 Driver Review

With a driver, the Dynamic Gold X100 will surely rattle even better players because of the weight and stiffness.

Project X 6.5 First Impressions

At first, the Project X 6.5 certainly felt a bit on the heavy side.

It definitely has a stout profile and responds very well to full swings.

Key Features & Performance

The most important feature of this shaft is the stiff tip and butt.

It allows for very efficient energy transfer and control over your long irons. Side spin is dramatically reduced which makes for much more accurate shots. Trajectory was low, piercing and straight as an arrow.

Project X 6.5 Wedges Review

The low spin of the Project X 6.5 shaft can be offset a bit if you have aggressively-grooved wedges.

If you do, you will really like the response and feel you get from the stiff tip of this shaft. Otherwise, you might have trouble landing the ball dead on pitched or fast greens.

Project X 6.5 Irons Review

Distance is not the issue here. The Project X 6.5 will likely add distance to your long iron shots if you’re in the 90+ MPH swing speed range. The issue is attacking greens from distance. We had a bit of trouble getting enough air under the ball or imparting enough spin to hold greens on long approaches. Apart from that though, the Project X 6.5 adds considerable stability to your iron shots.

Who Should Buy it?

The Dynamic Gold X100 shaft is clearly for low handicap to scratch players.

Even our mid handicap testers had a bit of trouble loading the Dynamic Gold X100 for tight shot dispersion. But if you have a fast swing speed and at least a moderate tempo, you will love the distance and accuracy of this shaft.
