We tested: 4-PW in Precision Project X steel shaft. Shaft length/loft (6-iron): 37.5"/31°
Company line: "These are forged from 1025 mild carbon steel. The multi-material, dual-cavity design features a dense tungsten-nickel alloy in the back and sole. This allows us to optimize launch conditions for a larger range of swing speeds."
Our Test Panel Says:
PROS: More forgiving than a blade with the same shot options; sole design muscles through questionable lies; super-soft feel at impact, especially in the scoring clubs;
no problem shaping shots; shots from uphill or downhill lies fly predictably; AP2 has an eye-appealing look; allows the creative shotmaker to do his thing.
CONS: You sacrifice distance from rough; miss it out on the toe and it won't cover it up; somewhat muted feel for forged clubs; less-than-full shots require a learning curve.
