Project X Wins Fourth Major for True Temper


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With a win at the PGA Championship this weekend, True Temper Sports, the Number One shaft manufacturer in the world, officially dominated all four Majors during the 2009 season. The win also marked the 33rd PGA Tour season victory for True Temper.

While the PGA champion’s relative professional inexperience astounded many fans, his trust of high-performance Project X shafts was clearly a veteran move. True Temper’s Project X shafts are well-known for delivering accuracy and consistency to the best players on tours worldwide each week. Nine of the Top 10 players at the PGA Championship also relied on Project X or one of True Temper’s other precision engineered shafts.

“All of the True Temper brands, including Project X, are designed to deliver exceptional performances, which was evident at all four Major PGA events this season,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “For 50 years, True Temper has led the golf industry as the number one shaft manufacturer in the world. Week after week, our wins on the pro tours reaffirms our commitment to providing the finest and most technologically advanced golf shafts in the world.”

 

Designed on tour to help players achieve greater distance and accuracy, Project X shafts incorporate Stepless Design Technology where each individual shaft throughout the set is comprised of a specific and constant taper length. This unique design feature optimizes the flex distribution and energy transfer without sacrificing control. Stepless Design technology provides tip stiffness for stronger players, producing greater accuracy with a smooth yet solid feel at impact and optimum trajectory and spin control.

The leading manufacturer of golf shafts in the world, True Temper Sports is consistently the number one shaft on all professional tours globally. The company markets a complete line of shafts under the True Temper®, Grafalloy® and Project X® shaft brands, and sells these brands in more than 30 countries throughout the world. True Temper Sports is proudly represented by more than 800 individuals in ten facilities located in the United States, Europe, Japan, China and Australia.
