To be brutally honest I can't see a lot of difference, I shot most of my best scores with 100gr points (GTs recommendation at the time) including breaking 300 in a side wind that had a few 1300 shooters using ACEs struggling to break 280. (Shame about the 50m
) But the way I shoot the wind always had a bigger effect on me than my arrows
I just think that with X10s the shaft profile makes the biggest difference - although aerodynamically this may be illogical. I think for me - when I was shooting my best - the heavier points were not forgiving of a weak release - they'd go low on shots I'd get away with the lighter points. And the weight makes bu&*er all next to no difference to the spine.
Unfortunately my opportunity to shoot more than 30m these days are few and far between so I've not tested anything recently! I bought the 120gr on whim - and because the Helix took a chunk off my draw length
If I drop point weight I'll go back to SS points - or keep an eye on ebay for some 2nd hand tungstens.
Good luck with your new points!
YMMV
