    Royal Precision Flight 5.5 Shafts

    I was wondering if anyone has used or demoed the Royal Precision Flighted 5.5 Shafts, for irons.

    Your input would be greatly appreciated.

    I used to have the 6.0's in a set of precept tour premiums and I liked them. I used the 5 iron down and found them to be vfery consistent, accurate and had a great ball flight, very penetrating. I must admit I did have trouble with the 3 and 4 with those shafts and used a different 3 and 4 with that set, but it was probably just the 6.0 being a little too stiff in a forged blade. I have always used R300 in my 3 and 4 and S300 in the rest, but got that set second hand so got stuck with the 6.0 in all clubs. Overall I would say they were at least as stiff as S300, maybe even a little more, and had a slightly lower ball flight (but couldn't say that for sure as haven't hit tour premiums in any other shaft so may have been the club). The 5.5 would probably be good for you if you are used to hitting S300 or equivalent. Rifle say they are between regular and stiff but I would say they are closer to S than R.

    I went to a Demo day two weeks ago and demo'd some MacGregor muscle backs that had the Rifle Shafts in them. I tried the 5.5 and the 6.0. The 5.5 played extremely high compared to my DGs. I was hitting a 6 iron and the ball flight looked like it was a 9 iron. I tried the 6.0 to see if the stiffer shaft would bring the ball flight down but I didn't notice much difference. They were very easy to draw, anything aimed right would draw back to center without hooking. At least with my swing. I really liked the feel of them but I would have to experiment more to get the ball flight down before I put them into play.
