Here’s review of the Project X Shaft from golf-swinginstruction.com
We are going to kick off our 2010′ shaft reviews a little early with the new Project X Graphite driver shaft has been a major highlight and somewhat of a pleasant surprise for True Temper. It was a first-time winner on the PGA tour recently at Volvo World Match Play.Its launching was the beginning of something really awesome. It is not the talk of the town and is one of the most favored shafts.
Where do we start – all I can say is this shaft will become very popular – we predict. Some of the PGA tour players who are using the shaft are Bo Van Pelt, Camillo Vegas, David Toms and Jason Gore. True Temper introduced the Project X Graphite driver and hybrid at the same time since they come from the same mold.
Both the Project X Graphite driver and hybrid are engineered using the Zonal Design Theory or ZDT. This is a True Temper proprietary technology which divides the shaft into three distinct zones. The Butt, Mid and tip sections make up the three zones, with each optimized for performance using a design technology specific to the zone.
Butt Section is made up of sectional stability minimizing energy from a Hex-Axial Reinforcement Technology. This technology ultimately is responsible for minimizing energy loss from “ovalization.”
Mid Section is designed for even loading and unloading for maximum energy transfer.
Tip Section is Elongated for a firmer tip which minimizes Droop and Lag and reduces spin.
Here’s what Players are saying about the Project X Graphite Shaft-
“WOW! Better distance and dispersion than the RIP 70x… I LOVE the Project X!!!
“Put an X7A3 in my Nike Tour Square. -400 rpms Backspin added 11 yards..tighter dispersion & better LM #’s than Oban Devotion 7″
Pros/Positives-
No doubt about it, the Project X graphite is a high-end shaft that better players will love. The ultra low spin combined with a stiff tip and soft mid section will allow players to have a very strong angle of attack to “go after” drives without loosing them.
Cons/Negatives-
A fairly small market, geared for strong players or at least better players.
Overvall Rating-
The Project X Graphite shaft will be without a doubt, one of the more popular shafts for 2010′ – “The Evolution and Innovation never stop.As better players seek for new ways to improve their ball flight and reduce spin, the Project X Graphite will become even more known this 2010. Look out!
