MEMPHIS, Tenn. – On a Pebble Beach course described as “fast and fiery”, Project X shafts delivered superior consistency and accuracy to win the 2010 U.S. Open. It was the second straight major win of the 2010 season for Project X shafts.
This year’s U.S. Open champion played Project X in his irons to become the first European in 40 years to win the event. The latest addition to the Project X family, Project X graphite, had a dominate showing at the U.S Open with four shafts in the bags of the Top 10 finishers, and 29 shafts in play among the entire field.
“The U.S. Open is renowned for presenting challenging courses, and Project X proved once again it can deliver consistency and accuracy at one of the toughest global golf tournaments on record,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “The U.S. Open is characterized by tight scoring so players rely on their irons and drivers to provide maximum performance. That’s one major reason why True Temper, with 138 sets in play, outnumbered all other shaft manufacturers combined in the U.S. Open shaft count. We also saw our largest number of Project X graphite shafts in play to date on the PGA TOUR, and we expect this number to continue to grow throughout the rest of the season.”
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. The Project X graphite shaft is available in woods and hybrids. Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
