Until you've actually shot the things, you've got no idea whether they're too weak or not. Bear in mind that a lot of people with the new CarbonExpress Nanos and McKinneys are (re!)discovering that a parallel shaft shoots stiffer than a barrelled one - e.g. for an ACE400 shoot a McKinney 500.

Now, if I recall correctly, you shoot an X10 500. Presumably that works to some level of acceptability, you can tune it more or less so you're happy? 500 spine stuff would therefore probably be about right... at least right enough that you can make it shoot acceptably. But you really can't tell until you've shot them, and it'd be a fairly base mistake to go and do all manner of things to an arrow and your bow in the hope of getting a perceived weak arrow to be stiffer when it may then turn out to have been right in the first place.
