Project X 5.5 Vs Project X 6.0 Shaft Comparison Overview

Project-X-5.5-Vs-Project-X-6.0-Shaft

In the following comparison overview, I will be describing the difference between the Project X in regular plus and stiff flex.

Project X 5.5 Shaft Overview

“In the True Temper universe, 5.5 flex translates to regular plus flex. The Project X 5.5 shaft weighs 110g.”

110g is a little lighter than I like my iron shafts to be but I must say, the Project X 5.5 performs well above its weight class.

Though my gamer shaft is 120g, I didn’t lose any accuracy with the Project X 5.5.

The kick point is high which is what I’m used to. And compared to the 6.0, I felt a little more acceleration through the ball.

Project X 6.0 Shaft Overview

“The 6.0 is a stiff flex shaft that weighs 120g.”

Again, the kick point is high with maybe a little more club head stability.

Although, the difference in club head stability could only really be felt when I was swinging out of my shoes.

Still, this shaft offers impeccable accuracy and stands up well to heavy loads.

“The Project X 5.5 offers a bit more speed while the Project X 6.0 is better for power swingers.”

Project X 5.5 First Impressions

At first, we thought the Project X 5.5 felt a little stout. However, when we paired them with our irons, they let up a bit as we worked down the set.

Key Features & Performance

The most important feature is easily the tapered tip. The tapered area runs longer for enhanced energy transfer from your swing to the ball.

Project X 5.5 Wedges Review

A great choice for wedges because the Project X 5.5 will afford you more accuracy where you need it the most: around the green.

Project X 5.5 Irons Review

We would recommend fitting all of your irons with the Project X 5.5 shaft. The progressive kick point will appeal to better players who will feel the load shift throughout the set.

Project X 5.5 Driver Review

If you are a faster swinger, you will want a stiffer flex than the Project X 5.5 offers.

Project X 6.0 First Impressions

I was instantly reminded of how stout this shaft feels as soon as I took my first swing.

There is no lag in this shaft. Instead, you can feel the club head keep up with you throughout your swing.

Key Features & Performance

The Project X 6.0 uses a progressive midsection stiffness profile which makes the performance more dynamic. It gives you more speed in the long irons and more control in the scoring irons.

Project X 6.0 Irons Review

Even in the more reactive long irons, you get excellent control and tight dispersion. These shafts are fairway finders for sure.

Project X 6.0 Wedges Review

Better players will certainly be able to achieve acute spin control in the stouter wedges.

Still, launch remains pretty low and hard to work upward.

Taper tip

Who Should Buy it?

The Project X 6.0 should at least be tried by fast swing speed players.

If you are a single-digit golfer seeking maximum control from your irons, the Project X 6.0 should be on your radar.

Even some faster swingers will be put off by the very stout profile; but if you are used to a stiff, traditional-feeling steel iron shaft, this shouldn’t be a problem for you.
