MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With one of the greatest driving performances in the history of Major Championship golf, Project X Graphite shafts delivered the resounding victory at the 2010 British Open Championship. The win locked up the third consecutive major title of the year for Project X shafts, which are now the preferred choice for the best golfers throughout the world.
This year’s Claret Jug winner played the new Project X graphite shaft in his driver and fairway woods to lead the field in driving accuracy with an astounding 86 percent of fairways hit and averaging more than 319 yards per drive. He shot a closing 71 on Sunday that gave him a seven-shot victory — only two strokes off from the largest victory margin in British Open history.
“To win your first major at St. Andrews is really outstanding, and we are excited that Project X graphite shafts could be a part of such a remarkable victory,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “The win at the British Open firmly cemented our new Project X shaft as the winningest graphite shaft of the 2010 PGA Tour, and proved it can deliver the unparalleled distance and accuracy needed to win a major.”
Project X shafts have a long history of winning on the professional tours and particularly at major events. Previously this year, Project X iron shafts delivered victories at the Masters Tournament and the U.S. Open.
The new Project X graphite shaft, designed and manufactured by True Temper, features a unique tapered design that maximizes a player’s distance, and a reinforced tip that reduces spin by up to 500 RPM more than other low-spin Tour model shafts. Project X graphite shafts are available in woods and hybrids.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Providing tour-proven accuracy and consistency, shafts by True Temper Sports scored a terrific triple victory this weekend on the PGA, European and Nationwide Tours.
At the John Deere Classic, the PGA TOUR champion played Project X shafts in his irons to score more birdies than any other player and to win the event by shooting a dramatic 26 strokes under par. Project X shafts also proved to be the force to be reckoned with in Europe at The Scottish Open. The winner played Project X graphite shafts in his driver, fairway woods and hybrid as did the event’s fan favorite runner up who scored an all important invitation to next week’s British Open by using Project X shafts not only in his driver, but throughout his entire bag. The final victory in the triad of wins came on the Nationwide Tour, as the winner of the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic played Dynamic Gold shafts to top the event’s money list.
“Every tour win is a testament to the countless hours of designing, engineering and testing that goes into perfecting True Temper shafts,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “When you look at the numbers—137 sets in play at the John Deere Classic, 143 sets at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic and more than 100 Project X graphite shafts in play across all three tours—there is no doubt Dynamic Gold and Project X are preferred by the best players in golf.”
The straight taper and short tip section of the Project X iron shafts — available in tapered and parallel tip — provides maximum energy transfer with low spin rates required for penetrating iron shots. The new Project X graphite shaft combines a stable butt section with a constant taper bend profile and reinforces the tip to reduce spin by up to 500 RPM more than other low-spin Tour model competitors. Project X graphite is available in woods and hybrids.
Dynamic Gold is the top-selling shaft in golf and is preferred by skilled players seeking a low, penetrating ball flight. It is available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The 4th of July weekend’s AT&T National champion won for the second time this season with Project X shafts throughout his bag. He relied on the new Project X graphite shafts in his driver and fairway woods and Project X steel shafts in his irons to finish at 10-under 270 and moved up to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings. The AT&T National marked the seventh consecutive win and 26th season win on the PGA TOUR for shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports. The victory was another outstanding showing for Project X shafts, and particularly for the all-new Project X graphite shafts which have garnered seven PGA TOUR victories since its debut late last year. “Each week, more and more players on the PGA, Nationwide and European Tours are relying on our new Project X graphite shaft to deliver the winning results the Project X brand is famous for,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Project X graphite shafts have similar bend and stiffness profiles as Project X irons, with the added benefits of lightweight graphite and distance control for maximum player performance. It’s a winning combination that’s giving longer carry and increased rollout performance for the world’s best players.” Overall, the shaft count at the AT&T National proved again that True Temper shafts are the most popular among PGA Tour professionals. According to the numbers, there were 106 sets of True Temper shafts in play at the AT&T Championship and nine of the top 10 finishers had shafts by True Temper throughout their bags. The straight taper and short tip section of the Project X iron shafts — available in tapered and parallel tip — 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. The Project X graphite shaft is available in woods and hybrids.
