MEMPHIS, Tenn. – With one of the largest television audiences in the history of golf, Project X shafts delivered consistency and accuracy to win the 2010 Masters Tournament. This year’s Masters champion earned his third Green Jacket and fourth major title, playing Project X shafts in his irons. He shot a 67-71-67-67 (272), including an incredible shot on the 13th hole, and moved into fourth-place in the FedExCup standings.
The victory at Augusta National was the 10th consecutive win at The Masters for shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper, and the 13th win during the 2010 PGA TOUR season. With 100 percent of the Top 10 money positions and 79 sets in play among the entire field, True Temper brands were clearly the shafts of choice at The Masters. Additionally, True Temper brands were #2 in the overall wood shaft count this past weekend, which included the new Project X graphite shaft and the Grafalloy product line.
“The Masters is one of the game’s most revered tournaments so we are incredibly proud to have played a role in another victory at Augusta National,” says Chad Hall, director of product marketing and global tour operations for True Temper Sports. “To continue to be the preferred iron shaft among the world’s best players and now the Number Two choice for wood shafts is a huge endorsement for the designs True Temper brings to the game. Our engineers remain dedicated to providing golfers of all skill levels with shafts that provide maximum performance in accuracy, consistency and distance.”
So far this season, Project X and Rifle shafts have already collected an impressive list of wins on the tours worldwide, including the SBS Championship, Northern Trust Open, Moonah Classic, Honda Classic, World Golf Championships-CA Championship, Puerto Rico Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Masters.
The success of Project X has been punctuated by this year’s introduction of the new Project X graphite shafts which accounted for three PGA Tour victories. The straight taper and short tip section of the Project X iron shafts provides maximum energy transfer with low spin rates required for penetrating iron shots. By combing this design platform with eight premium graphite materials, the Project X wood and hybrid shafts are quickly becoming known as the lowest spinning graphite shafts available. While Project X iron shafts remain a favorite among top tour players, Project X wood shafts also are gaining popularity with the biggest names in golf trusting Project X in their drivers. The Project X graphite shafts are available in woods and hybrids.
