Project X Shafts

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The new Project X graphite shaft delivered distance, accuracy and the win at the World Golf Championships-CA Championship held at Doral this weekend. Designed and manufactured by True Temper, the new shaft features a unique tapered design that maximizes a player’s distance through the precise integration of frequency, weight distribution and launch profiles.

Playing the new Project X graphite shafts in his driver and in his 3-wood, the WGC-CA champion averaged more than 300 plus yards off the tee and finished in the top 20 in driving distance and accuracy for the week. The win marked his 61st title worldwide and his 17th victory on the PGA TOUR, moving him to the No. 8 ranking in the world and making him only the fifth player to win multiple times in the World Golf Championships.

“We worked closely with the tour players to develop and test the new Project X graphite shaft, so to see it win at a high profile event such as the WGC-CA Championship is incredibly exciting,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper. “Professional players around the world rely on the Project X brand to deliver winning performances. The Project X graphite shafts, which are precision-engineered to integrate multiple technologies to deliver longer carry, increased rollout and consistent performance, are proving to be no exception.”

The new Project X shafts are racking up an impressive list of wins on tours worldwide, including the 2010 Honda Classic, 2009 Volvo World Match Play, 2009 U.S. Bank Championship, 2009 BMW Italian Open, 2009 Soboba Classic, 2009 Utah Championship, 2009 Northeast Penn Classic and the 2009 South Georgia Classic.

By combining a stable butt section with a constant taper bend profile and reinforcing the tip with two additional wraps of super high modulus graphite in the lower third of the golf shaft, Project X reduces spin by up to 500 RPM over other low spin Tour model competitors. The Project X graphite shafts are available in woods and hybrids.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper topped the money list on three tours this weekend, scoring victories at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic and the European and Asian Tours’ Maybank Malaysian Open.

This year’s Honda Classic champion played high-performance Project X Flighted shafts in his irons to earn a T2 ranking in Greens in Regulation (73.6%) and to shoot an impressive 65 birdies in his last 14 rounds, earning him first place in birdies. Additionally, Project X steel and graphite shafts were in the bag of the number three finisher who shot the lowest round at The Honda Classic.

Dynamic Gold shafts – which are the top-selling shafts in golf — performed no less admirably at the Malaysian Open, delivering a 14-under-par victory (69-70-67-68) for the 18-year-old pro.

“When you look at the numbers – 125 sets in play at the Honda Classic and eight sets among the top 10 finishers—there is no doubt Dynamic Gold and Project X are preferred by the best players in golf,” says Chad Hall, director of product marketing and global tour operations for True Temper Sports. “Dynamic Gold and Project X brands continue to be clear favorites among the professional players around the world because they deliver accuracy and distance more consistently than any other steel shafts in golf.”

The Number One shaft manufacturer in the world, True Temper Sports has delivered hundreds of professional tour victories around the world, and True Temper shafts, such as Dynamic Gold and Project X, continue to dominate the PGA TOUR week after week. Dynamic Gold shafts feature a high-flex, tour weight design that generates a low, penetrating ball flight. The straight taper and short tip section of the Project X iron shafts provides maximum energy transfer with low spin rates required for penetrating iron shots. By combing this design platform with eight premium graphite materials, the Project X wood and hybrid shafts are quickly becoming known as the lowest spinning graphite shafts available.
