MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The 4th of July weekend’s AT&T National champion won for the second time this season with Project X shafts throughout his bag. He relied on the new Project X graphite shafts in his driver and fairway woods and Project X steel shafts in his irons to finish at 10-under 270 and moved up to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings.
The AT&T National marked the seventh consecutive win and 26th season win on the PGA TOUR for shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports. The victory was another outstanding showing for Project X shafts, and particularly for the all-new Project X graphite shafts which have garnered seven PGA TOUR victories since its debut late last year.
“Each week, more and more players on the PGA, Nationwide and European Tours are relying on our new Project X graphite shaft to deliver the winning results the Project X brand is famous for,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Project X graphite shafts have similar bend and stiffness profiles as Project X irons, with the added benefits of lightweight graphite and distance control for maximum player performance. It’s a winning combination that’s giving longer carry and increased rollout performance for the world’s best players.”
Overall, the shaft count at the AT&T National proved again that True Temper shafts are the most popular among PGA Tour professionals. According to the numbers, there were 106 sets of True Temper shafts in play at the AT&T Championship and nine of the top 10 finishers had shafts by True Temper throughout their bags.
The straight taper and short tip section of the Project X iron shafts – available in tapered and parallel tip – 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.
