3/4-wood recommendations – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing 3/4-woods. WRXer ‘Odshot68’ is on the hunt for either a high launching 3 or 4-wood and kicks off the thread saying

“Looking for advice on a higher launch neutral to open fade bias fairway wood. Not looking for a low launch low spin rocket. Played a strong three wood last year and want something higher launch off the deck to pair with my 2 hybrid. 

Also, a shaft recommendation with the head would be great. Either a strong stiff or x flex (not tx).”

And our members have been putting forward their suggestions in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • OsnolaKinnard: “Tour edge exotics CBX 16* 4 wood with the factory KuroKage shaft in your appropriate flex. I have the 3 wood, super easy to hit, very long, and the 4 wood, as I understand, is even easier to elevate.”
  • Krt22: “The Tsi2 16.5* is absolutely money. Easy to launch and looks/sounds fantastic.”
  • Phabs: “Keep an eye on the 2021 Mizuno stz. I hit them at an indoor demo day and was pretty surprised. Felt every bit as solid as my M3 but was half the price and had better ball speed.”
  • Got941: “I just got mine tsi2 16.5 with Tensei blue tx. Love it easiest wood I’ve ever hit off the deck.”

Project X HandCrafted shafts return with new HZRDUS T1100

Published

on

Project X let us into the world of HandCrafted shafts with the 2015 HZRDUS Black shaft, which was a big success on professional tours and at retail. Almost 10 years later, we still come across some of those original HZRDUS Black and Yellow shafts in bags on the PGA Tour.

The HandCrafted label on a Project X shaft was the mark of high-end, low-volume manufacturing where the shaft was hand rolled in the company’s San Diego R&D lab. Since then, Project X retired that label and moved on to the “Small Batch” nomenclature. Many golf shaft degenerates have begged for Project X to bring back the HandCrafted shafts, and now, the squeaky wheels are getting the grease with a brand new Project X HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted shaft.

“We are beyond excited to be able to bring back a HandCrafted line of graphite shafts,” Don Brown, Vice President of Marketing and Innovation for Project X said. “When producing a HandCrafted shaft, each shaft is rolled by hand, painted by hand and the logos are even applied by hand, all in our San Diego lab, ensuring the utmost care is taken along the way.”

The newest HandCrafted shaft is a reintroduction of the famed HZRDUS T1100 from 2017 (View our original launch story HERE). The chrome ion finished HZRDUS T1100 was beloved by higher-speed players for its ultra-stiff profile with very low launch and spin. Toray T1100G carbon fiber was at the heart of the shaft and the strongest fiber available for Project X to create an ultra-stable shaft for the fastest swingers in golf.

The new 2024 Project X HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted shaft will be low launch and low spin with a very stiff profile for the fastest swingers. 4D Optimized Carbon utilizes a spread tow weave that is used in specific parts of the shaft to enhance stability and control. This spread tow woven fabric is angled at 45 degrees through to increase torsional resistance in the shaft to control the twisting of the head during the swing. Each HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted shaft is rolled in Project X’s San Diego Lab, like the original, and trimmed to final frequency to ensure consistent performance and precision.

Project X went with a graphics package that will pay homage to the original shaft with a HZRDUS logo done in silver with bright neon green outline in the middle of the shaft and the HandCrafted logo just below the grip. The shaft will have a silver sheen to it, but you will also be able to see the spread tow carbon fiber through the paint in the sun.

The new HZRDUS T1100 HandCrafted will be available in 60- and 70-gram weights with 6.0 (stiff) and 6.5 (X-stiff) flexes while the 80-gram model will only be available in the 6.5 flex.

We don’t have a retail date yet for these new HZRDUS shafts, as Project X can only create so many per day. The first ones have been sent to tour — we spotted them at this week’s Valero Texas Open. We will keep you updated on an official launch date.
