This weekend’s winner of The Greenbrier Classic played Project X shafts in his irons and became only the fifth PGA TOUR player to reach the low-round record of 59. He carded nine birdies and an eagle in his final round to earn the 31st win of the year on the PGA Tour for shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports.

Playing the new Project X graphite shafts in his driver and 3-wood and Dynamic Gold shafts in his irons, the Irish Open champion averaged drives of 308 yards en route to a tournament record-tying score of 266.

“Project X is one of the most successful shaft brands in the history of the game, and this year’s debut success for the Project X graphite line has been a phenomenal testament to the superior performance characteristics of these shafts,” says Craig Nichols, PGA Tour Representative for True Temper Sports. “Already the winningest graphite wood shaft in 2010 on the PGA Tour, our win at the Irish Open marks the ninth win of the season and highlights the momentum that is spreading around the globe for Project X graphite.”

True Temper continues to dominate the professional tours. At The Greenbrier Classic, True Temper led the shaft count with 133 iron sets in play, while competing shaft manufacturers fielded only 12 sets.

The new Project X graphite shaft features a unique tapered design that maximizes a player’s distance through the precise integration of frequency, weight distribution and launch profiles. The new shaft combines a stable butt section with a constant taper bend profile and reinforces the tip with two additional wraps of super high modulus graphite in the lower third of the golf shaft. The result is a reduction of spin by up to 700 RPM more than other low-spin Tour model competitors. Project X graphite shafts are available in woods and hybrids.

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.

The longer taper rate more efficiently transfers energy to the ball and the ball gets up faster and flattens out for a penetrating trajectory. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.

This week’s Transitions champion finished at 8-under 276 and chalked up his seventh career victory on the PGA TOUR, moving him to fifth place in the FedExCup points race. He also won at Innisbrook in 2003, and is only the second player to have ever won this event more than once.
