MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Project X shafts drove home the victory at the European Tour’s flagship BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club this past weekend. True Temper’s Project X steel shafts continue to be one of the most popular shaft designs on pro tours around the world by consistently delivering distance and accuracy.

Playing Project X shafts in his irons, this weekend’s European champion scored an impressive 17-under-par 271 to grab the victory and become the world’s third highest ranked professional golfer, according to Official World Golf Ranking.

“Project X shafts have earned the respect of professionals around the world by providing a winning performance week after week. In fact, in 2009 alone Project X shafts have won 11 global victories,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “The innovation and engineering that goes into True Temper shafts have set the industry standard for more than 20 years, and we congratulate this week’s European champion on a terrific victory.”

Manufactured by True Temper Sports, Project X steel shafts feature a unique variable taper design with a dedicated taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball for a faster and flatter penetrating trajectory. Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
