Went to a fitting at Mizuno last week.
The shaft optimizer recommended PX5.5, and C Taper stiff.

I already have the 5.5 in my
Bridgestones.

Going of the numbers, the CTapers
were a better shaft for me in the JPX 850 Forged.

My question is, if I reshaft with the C Tapers, would it be much of an improvement?

The smash factor with thr Tapers was 1.42, vertical launch 16.2
Smash factor with PX was 1.35 cant remember the vertical launch.

Would love the Mizzies but at $160 an iron, its not an option.

Cheers

I got a little more distance from the Tapers as well.

just not sure if it would cross over to my irons?

I have PX 5.5 softstepped, and have had C Taper R+. Very similar results, maybe better feel with the C Tapers.

The C Taper Stiff will be stiffer, and a bit lower launching. Based on your numbers it seems like they work better for you, but it's always a bit of a punt.
