It’s mean without being aggressive or offensive. In our player testing 75% of respondents found the Project X Black to feel more stable than the Project X Blue even though it is lighter.īy now many of you know that I am a meat and potato’s kind of guy when it comes to colors, styles, and aesthetics.

The TeXtreme material allows us to build a shaft that is 10% lighter than its predecessor but maintain the same play-ability and performanceĬharacteristics. The Project X Black has the same launch conditions as the original Project X Blue shafts. Umm, True Temper had me at “most stable lightweight composite shaft ever created.” One last thing I want to leave you guys with as far as how technologically wicked the Project X Black shaft is, and this also comes directly from True Temper: As a result, Project X Black features unmatched torsional integrity and is the most stable lightweight composite shaft ever created. Dual Torsional Control: DTC utilizes TeXtreme fibers oriented at 45-degrees on the outermost layers of the shaft and Super High Modulus axial plies inside to reduce dynamic shaft twisting by as much as 25% compared to traditional designs. TeXtreme: This is a revolutionary composite material that allowed True Temper engineers to eliminate weight compared to the original Project X design while maintaining the low torque, low spin properties that established Project X as the standard for all high-performance composite shafts.Ģ. How could True Temper make these claims? These claims almost seem like an oxymoron: low spin performance that maximizes carry and roll distance? In order to achieve this True Temper incorporated two critical components: TeXtreme and Dual Torsional Control.ġ. Well color me intrigued! I love the idea of a light weight shaft that offers low spin performance, yet helps me achieve maximum carry distance and roll. Featuring proprietary Dual Torsional Control, Projext X Black reduces spin rates at impact for optimized peak trajectory with flatter descent angles for maximum carry and roll.

The new Project X Black features reduced weight from the original Project X graphite for explosive power while preserving critical tip stability and low spin performance. An increase in speed simply translates to more ball speed and more overall distance.

What True Temper has done is quite simply removing weight in order to help golfers of all skill levels increase speed.

My first thought when learning I was going to be receiving the Project X Black for review was, “what are they going to do to improve their predecessor?” Sometimes I think that when you have something that works, and evidently works well based on the success we have seen from Project X on Tour, it can be risky completely over hauling the product.
