The project x flighted rifle shafts are supposed to give a lower ball flight, that's one reason I wanted them. I hit the ball really high. The lofts in this set I think are one degree stronger than my old set, and the same as the set before that.
The reason I'm going to accept these clubs is because I don't trust paypal to give me my money back. They're at the post office right now, they tried to deliver today. I can't return them, they came from The People's Republic of China. I'm going to go get them and still fight with paypal because it was a cancelled auction with a stolen account.

This is the strangest thing I've ever seen.

For starters I had to pay another $35 shipping, something to do with customs the post office lady said. I asked her if I could open the box before I did that, I knew she would say no and she said no. Never hurts to try though. I told her I hope there isn't a bag of cocaine or a communist rifle in there, and she said I didn't have to accept. My curiosity and the fact he's already got my money influenced me to pay the $35 and sign for the box.

I bring them home and open the box. The heads are shrinkwrapped but the plastic that covers the entire club have all been opened on the grip end. They look like Callaway X Forged. They have Callaway grips and labels on them and came in a Callaway box. (I only took 4 out of the box)

BUT

The Rifle label says that they're Project X Rifle 6.0 (stiff), and I bid on Rifle Project X 5.0 (the main reason I bought new clubs is because my shafts are too stiff, I have Rifle 6.0 in my titleists). The Callaway label down by the clubhead on the tip end of the shaft says that they're 5.0 (regular). It gets even stranger though.
They also have True Temper Dynamic Gold R300 shaft labels on the shafts.

Project X shafts and true temper dynamic gold shafts are two entirely different shafts. Dynamic gold is a stepped shaft and project x is smooth and has no steps.

I'm taking these with me tomorrow and going to try and show them to the asst. pro when the main pro isn't around. Asst. pro has a deal with Callaway and knows their stuff. Main pro gives me lessons and also owns the golf course and I don't want to make him mad with all this ebay shit.

I'm also going to fight this out with paypal until the end.
