The reply above nailed it, the kaili is never going to play like the project x no matter how much you tip it

This is an interesting question.... And since I didn't see any response here for you, I thought I would give it a shot for you based on my limited knowledge of the subject.

The torque of a shaft is actually the measurement of the torsional flex ( twisting) about the centerline. Typically, the higher the torque, the easier it will twist. This relates to how easily you can release the club. Typically harder swingers prefer lower torque #s so they can swing and release hard and not snap hook it. Heavier weight shafts will also typically have lower torque numbers in a given shaft line. This also relates to the torque of the shaft if you don't hit the sweet spot. If you hit one more towards the toe, a lower torque shaft will hold the line better.

Next, we have shaft deflection, which is adjusted by tipping, and typically measured in cycles per minute ( CPM) by clamping one end of the shaft and exciting the shaft to get a measurement.

Tipping should increase the stiffness and bring the ball flight down, but I think the torque would remain the same.

So I would think you could make the shaft play stiffer by tipping it, but you are not going to get the same feel between the two different shafts.

Great question!
