The launch was medium-high, and the spin was very manageable, especially when you consider I was hitting exclusively fades (with the exception of a couple pulls). The Project X shafts produced very consistent numbers for me across the board. That said, it’s still an apples-to-apples comparison, so no attempt has been made to “normalize” the numbers: we’re publishing the numbers straight off the FlightScope, as always. To greater or lesser extents, ball speed, and spin are all coming in lower than they did outdoors, hence the carry number is smaller. Uur FlightScope seems to be producing somewhat different numbers indoors compared to outdoors. Testing was done at Golf Nation in Palatine, IL, one of the best indoor golf facilities in the country. I hit 20 “good” shots with each shaft, changing frequently so that fatigue was not an issue, nor did I get grooved with one shaft to the detriment of fairness. The Tour Issue profiles can be found through select fitters and club builders or through some OEM custom order programs.įor the Performance testing, I hit each of the shafts in a Callaway RAZR Fit 10.5 head on a FlightScope X2 launch monitor. Project X graphite shafts carry an MSRP of $275 but can be found for around $150.
Flex ranges from 5.0 to 7.0 on the Rifle scale When considering the standard and tour issue lines, weights of the Project X graphite shafts range from 60 to over 100 grams. With regard to looks, the Project X plays it safe with a solid blue color and minimal graphics. Players with more swing speed or more aggressive tempos may disagree and could find more difference from one flex to the next. I found this feel was very similar from 6.0 to 7.0. While not as smooth as a Matrix or Diamana, there’s nothing harsh about the Project X whatsoever. To me, the Project X feels most similar to the Nunchuk: a solid, “one-piece” feel with very little kick or torque. I will happily report that I was wrong to expect so little. I came into this review with very low expectations for the feel of Project X graphite. As you’ll see in this review, that would have been a HUGE mistake: the Project X graphite shafts are some of the most accurate and consistent I’ve ever tested. Because of this, I’ve never given too much thought to their graphite offerings. Despite being fit into them on a couple of occasions, I’ve never loved the feel of their iron shafts. Personally, I will admit to a bit of a bias against Project X.
How many times have you let some preconceived idea or bias get in the way of playing the best equipment for your game? I think for many of us club-crazy golfers, the answer is “more times than I’d like to admit.”
