A Project X iron shaft for the masses

Published

on

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?

    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.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
