Project X Delivers Win at WGC-HSBC Champions


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Project X shafts delivered a No. 1 finish at the World Golf Champions - HSBC Champions held at Shanghai Sheshan International Golf Club this weekend. The No. 2 ranked player in the world played Project X steel shafts in his irons to clinch his second World Golf Championship.

 

“Project X continues to be among the most popular shaft designs on the professional tours,” says Scott Hennessey, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Designed on tour to help players achieve greater distance and accuracy, Project X steel shafts incorporate a constant taper design that transfers more energy to the ball at impact. This is just one of Project X’s several performance benefits that we have incorporated in our just launched Project X graphite series. Now a golfer can have these benefits throughout the set, in steel for irons and in graphite for woods and hybrids.”

 

The Project X and other shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports have collected 40 wins on the PGA Tour this year as well as numerous victories on the European, Champions, LPGA, Nationwide and Japan Tours.

 

Project X steel shafts feature Stepless Design Technology through which each individual shaft in the set possesses a specific and constant taper length. This unique design characteristic 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 new Project X shaft delivers similar bend and stiffness profiles as Project X irons, with the added benefits of graphite. The Project X driver features a firm tip design that yields a penetrating launch and low spin, and its low torque and reinforced cross section provide the most stable shaft performance on tour. The Project X hybrid delivers bend profile and stability enhancements which reduce both directional and distance dispersion, while the design’s weight provides a perfect transition from iron to wood shafts.
