Project X Graphite Shaft Review – For the High-End Player

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.  That was the start of something very good and continues to be the talk of the new up and coming shafts.

Where do we start – all I can say is this shaft will become very popular – we predict.  It already is used by a number of PGA Tour players have been rumored to either use or try the shaft including Bo Van Pelt, Camilo 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-

“WOW! Superior distance and dispersal than the RIP 70x… I like 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″
