A Project X iron shaft for the masses
No longer are True Temper’s Project X iron shafts reserved for only elite players.
The new Project X 95 Flighted iron shafts are the lightest in the Project X family, weighing only 95 grams. They are also more playable than previous Project X models — the long irons have a softer tip to help golfers hit those clubs higher, while the short irons have stiffer tips to give golfers a more consistent flight with their scoring clubs.
“We had a product before called Project X flighted, which was a 120 grams shaft,” said Bill Lange, director of sales for True Temper. “With the trend going lighter and lighter, we wanted to expand that into the Project X line as well. Last year we introduced PXi, which was our first lightweight attempt at Project X. Now we have Project X 95 Flighted.”
The Project X 95 Flighted shafts also include descending weights in the club set, meaning the shorter irons are lighter than the long irons.
“That’s something that we’ve done in some other product before,” Lange said. “Long irons have a distinct feel, short irons have a distinct feel.”
The Project X 95 Flighted shafts are available in four flexes: 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 and retail for around $38 each.

I was fitted with the project X 95 shaft 5.5 +3/4 inch. They feel to flexible, should they have gone to a 6.0 because of the added 3/4 to give me the 5.5 flex?

Is there any mention of these being geared towards diggers vs. sweepers / pickers?

Just had my first fitting at Club Performance in Brookfield, CT and to my luck the project x 95 with the Xhots was a perfect fit… Ohh what a feeling connecting and the trajectory was spot on…. Totally out performed the rest… Can’t wait to start the season….

Hit the 95’s in a set of Callaway XHots today… I play a KBS Tour x, and surprise surprise… I almost felt like buying those things on the spot…was the 6.5… They felt smoooooooth. Not sure if it was the XHots, which felt great or the shafts…or maybe a combo of both, but I enjoyed the experience. Also hit the AmpPro and the Covert… Both with the KuroKage Xstiff… Have to say.. Still a Cobra homer…but the Covert felt surprisingly stable and had a nasty impact point and feel… Nike did it… Best product from them I have hit. Looooooow launcher though…loooooow.
