Here's the story: A guy on an auction made the comment that taper was better than parallel. I had no idea if that was true. I first had to find out what it was and what was the difference. I also wanted to know all the specs on my X-14 PS irons w/ CWR's. I was told (by the Callaway rep) that they were parallel, weighing 115, and frequencing out at 6.5 (when compared to the Flighted). He also said that the taper would allow me to feel the head more during the swing, while the parallel would allow me to feel the whole club during the swing. I always check and double check info so I thought I would ask the board since these people have more experience then simply relying on info in a book. The real story is that by gathering all of this info, I was wondering if I'm correctly fitted to my irons. (I'm thinking my set is a tad too long.) Since I'm probably do for a reshaft, I want to get the best I can afford.
