Trackman numbers from fitting for px ls

[Kwheat]

Hopefully this is in the right place, thx in advance for help.  Was recommended PX LS 6.5 based on the 7 iron shots at golf galaxy.  Personally I thought 6.5 was a little stiff but the dispersion was solid.

 

I've always just tried shafts that I liked the feel of in store and I've never had a problem with on course performance - px 6.0, 6.5 , x100, LZ 6.5, LZ 7.0, modus 115x all were playable, they just felt different.  Trajectories were generally mid flight, never had any issues with excess spin or distance control.  

 

First pic is a 3/4 finish 70% swing tighter high draw, 2nd and 3rd were 85% mid draws that I play regularly.   Dispersion for each shot type was excellent after a dozen or so shots of each, shaft again felt a bit stiff for off season and I could see myself playing a 6.0 just as easily too. Conversely, summer swing rolls around and it's windy, 6.5 would be fine.  I screwed up and didn't take the final summary picture, but these are definitely representative yardage, rollout and general shape (I'm not 100% on the 7/14L part but I definitely have those 2 basic shapes) of what I play on course.

 

 

 

My questions are:

1. Are these results fairly accurate?  Like if the green is set to 9 feet below, and I only noticed this after, is golf galaxy juicing my numbers?

2.  I was shooting to a green w/2 flags, drawing off a target so each shot shape basically got closer and closer to the "real" flag... But are these spin numbers realistic?  Is 5.5k-6k actually playable for a mid to mid/high trajectory?  Zero roll out for my high draw is normal for me, but I have no clue if 6k accurately reflects that at 85mph?  From what I've read this seems pretty low

3.  They only had a T100 7i head to try for the LS.  My zx7 7 iron is 2 deg stronger, will this be a concern w/spin numbers?  It would seem I'd need to bend them weaker...?

Something feels a bit weird.  I'll wait for some real fitting experts to weigh in, but 2nd pic... 1.48 smash on a T100 7iron (34°)?  Tour average is 1.33, for reference, and those guys are usually pretty good at hitting the sweet spot.

 

And why would they have you trying to get baseline numbers from an elevated tee box?  9ft isn't a huge difference, but c'mon 🤦‍♂️

I completely agree, something just sounds off.  I read that smash can get higher with draw swings, but I'm definitely suspect.  Lol thanks for confirming @Yacho

Club head speed measurement is incorrect but the rest of numbers seem to make sense based on ball speed, carry, spin. You're probably swinging closer to 93 and all those shafts you listed make sense. At 124 ball speed PX LS 6.5 could definitely work. I'm around there and found the 6.0 flex to feel really soft in the handle. The LS model is 'flighted' so it gets softer a little as it gets longer. I could see the 6.0 5 iron being way too soft in the summer, swinging well.

 

ZX7 will be lower spin by a few hundred RPM but bend them weak to 34* 7 and shouldn't be an issue. I've done the same with mine. 

 

I actually am getting similar numbers as you, play a draw, and figured spin was on the low side for myself but curious what folks thoughts are on those spin levels considering off mats and draw swing.

Love the LS. Not sure what it is about the shaft, but every fitting I leave i always hit that one the best. Feels much smoother than the Rifle. Swing 7i about 85-87 for reference

Do you happen to know spin #s? Carry?

Interesting about the 6.0.  I play whiteboard family in woods, do you get along with that type?

I’ve been playing Ventus Black TR most recently in driver and Trono in fairways. I always get good results with standard PX in irons but using standard X100 right now. I’m curious to try PX LS 6.5 myself to see if the handle section tightens up enough. LS 6.0 felt light to me (so did Modus 115X)

 For 7i spin ranges from 6000-6800. Carry 165
