MEMPHIS, Tenn. – True Temper Project X shafts heated up the Transitions Championship this weekend, marking a three-week victory streak which includes the CA Championship and The Honda Classic.
This week’s Transitions champion finished at 8-under 276 and chalked up his seventh career victory on the PGA TOUR, moving him to fifth place in the FedExCup points race. He also won at Innisbrook in 2003, and is only the second player to have ever won this event more than once.
“Project X shafts have earned world-wide acclaim for delivering winning performances through distance, accuracy and consistency. Our continued overwhelming success on the PGA Tour and other pro tours worldwide is a testament to True Temper technology,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “We congratulate this week’s PGA Tour champion and we look forward to continuing to provide him with the best performing shaft line up in the industry.”
Additionally, shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper captured 9 of the top 10 money positions this weekend. Overall at the Transitions tournament, True Temper had 131 sets in play (91 percent of the field) with Dynamic Gold and Project X/Rifle brands accounting for 77 and 31 sets respectively. True Temper’s Project X and Dynamic Gold shafts are the most popular steel shafts on the pro tours, and they already account for more tours victories this season than all other shaft brands combined.
True Temper’s Project X steels shafts feature a unique variable taper design with a dedicated taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball for a faster and flatter penetrating trajectory. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
