Never accuse True Temper of sitting on
their
laurels.
In recent months, the Memphis-based
steel
and graphite golf shaft manufacturer has
released a number
of models that have made a splash at all
levels
of the game. The company's
Dynamic Gold shafts are continuously in
the
winner's circle and Grafalloy, having
recently
gone through a major relaunch and
product
release cycle, is a consistent best-
seller.
The company's Project X brand, however,
has
taken on a life of its own.
And today, Project X took yet another step
forward with its release of the
Project X 95 Flighted shaft --- the lightest
shaft in the brand's history.
"Project X 95 Flighted is carefully designed
and
crafted to produce maximum
distance and the tour-caliber control
expected
of the Project X brand," said
Greg Cavill, vice president of alloy
engineering
and development for Project
X, in a press release. "We also have
incorporated descending weight
properties into Project X 95 Flighted for
enhanced feel in the mid to short
irons. This was all quite an engineering
feat
given the lightweight properties
of the shaft."
Thanks to what is being considered
'variable
geometry per flex', the Project
X 95 Flighted shafts are another step
towards's the brand's goal of
providing tour-level products that appeal
to
players of all skill levels and
swing speeds.
"Project X 95 Flighted is great steel shaft
option for competitive and
aspirational players who are constantly
seeking
the latest technology in golf
equipment to give them a competitive
edge,"
Cavill said.
The Project X Flighted 95 is the company's
lightest steel shaft and includes a mid-
flight
design that offers golfers tour-caliber
control
without sacrificing swing speed and
consistent distance.
The new Project X 95 Flighted shaft is
available through True Temper's
network of distributors and Performance
Fitting
Centers. Retail price for a
full set of shafts is $520.00.
The Flighted 95 shafts come in four
different
flexes and weights, providing enhanced
feel
in the mid to short irons. Golfers can
choose
from one of the following configurations:
5.0
flex/101 grams, 5.5/101, 6.0/106, 6.5/106.
