Would have been nice to mention why the mid shafts lacked 10 yards of distance! in relation to their 120 counterparts. That is the most remarkable part of this experiment
More spin and higher launch will shorten the ball flight. The faster the swing the gap will widen due to the increase of spin and launch. If you have a slower swing speed then the mid would help because you will get a better angle of descent with a bit more spin but because swing speed is lower your distance gap will be smaller.
I gamed the 921 Forged from late 2020 until early 2024. Went with the 923 Forged afterwards, and I absolutely love them. I’m around a 12 handicap but I hit these clubs well. They also feel incredible despite the different materials and micro slots in the longer irons. The slotted longer irons are a bit faster or springier off the face but still feel excellent.
the Project X 6.0 is 120g not 125g and yes, it would have been nice to know exactly which DG tour edition model at the start of the video. I picked up S400 on the picture at the end. Shame because good video...
Just hit the 699V2 Pros last week and loved them. I've been playing Cleveland HiBore for 10 years and thought it would be hard and they were easy to hit and felt great.
I completely disagree with you, anyone who has hit those JPX hot metal know they feel like hitting a trash can. The JPX 923 forged feel like a players iron with just a bit more of a sweet spot.

Imo forgiveness is in sole width. A wider sole DOES NOT suit every delivery type. And your average person will have a better chance of moving strike up the face, were it belongs, while using a narrow sole.
Though it would take a bit of extra work as a club builder but, I would like to see what the results would look like if the swing weights were matched.
Just tipped 1/2” a stiff Velocore + on a 4 wood, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite clubs. 104 driver ss and have played x for 20+ years, but I’ve found myself wanting more feel, which the stiff shaft has provided. The 1/2” tipping keeps spin and dispersion under control
No one ever does an exact comparison. Hitting a 3 wood with the same exact loft would be much closer. I no longer use a driver but instead use a cobra 3 wood set at 12.5 degrees and it's straight both off the tee and off the deck. Driver is not worth 15 yards because it's usually the wrong 15 yards.
Thanks for the video. You talk about the pros and cons of blending the JPX923 Forged with other models, but the 923 Forged is already effectively a blended set, with 4-7 being in 4120 Chromoly and 8-G in 1025E mild carbon steel. Have you tried the 8-iron or above?
Fittings cost time and money. Never analyze during the fitting. Get through all your swings through all manufacturers and models you wanna try out asap. Analyze after the fitting.
I need these clubs in my life. Ive currently got the sub 70 639 cb clubs and they are amazing. I could not be happier, not to mention how beautiful they look. But...Ive been trying to find an excuse to buy those 659 mbs. I have dreams about seeing those clubs in my bag xD
Just got my Motore X in the mail, matched the exact specs in this video. Extremely whippy, easy to control the shape of the shot tho. I can tell there is a ton of energy being transferred to the ball because even the mishits were penetrating. I'll admit with range balls they overspin and with the balls what have almost no dimples the will apex and nosedive hard. I've got to see what this does with my gamer ball. Im pretty sure it's a winner.
I recently put graphite shafts in my irons. I made them 1/2” longer than with the steel shafts. I wanted to try a new iron head so I bought a 7 iron head. When I put it on the shaft that my other 7 was on I noticed it was 1/2” shorter. The hosel on the new iron was 1/4” shorter and 1/4” deeper. If I buy all the new irons should I add extensions or soft step them ?
I would soft step them as this is easier than adding length to each iron.Adding length also puts more weight in the handle and makes the heads lighter, so weight will have to be added to the heads..Soft stepping half inch will equal 1/3 softer flex, which is not very noticeable.I have tried and tested this method with graphite stiff recoil shaft $$$. Using a 7 iron length shaft put into 7,8 and finally 9 iron. Soft stepped it twice.Much better feel, control and shape over my shots..Buy yourself some lead tape, shims, ferrules, etc, they will come in handy..Good luck.
Surely having higher lofts might make an iron easier to hit same as with a driver. In terms of easy to hitting club is the 24 degree 38 inch rule as described by Tom Wishon.
your vidoes are confusing. 1 video you say weight is more important than flex, another video you say weight has no impact on swing speed, and this one you say lighter weight is beneficial. SMDH Starting to think I cant take you seriously.
