My primary focus is premium after market shafts, yet I am always asked about the stock shafts installed drivers. The Callaway HZRDUS looks very much like the $400+ shaft used on tour, it is not. The notations are ever more subtle The stock Callaway HZRDUS is labeled T800, the tour and aftermarket shaft is the HZRDUS T1100. I recently measured a pull out, let’s look at how they differ.

Project X HZRDUS T1100 Golf Shaft Review

Project X HZRDUS T1100 Driver Shaft Review

HZRDUS T1100 ImageThe Project X HZRDUS T1100 is the fourth shaft in the series. The graphics are a departure from the HZRDUS Black, HZRDUS Red and HZRDUS Yellow that preceded it. They were matt finished, the T1100 is iron finished with green lettering. It is a great looking shaft that will not spook some like the HZRDUS Yellow did. The yellow is a great design. If it fits your swing, it is one of the few shafts that I have come across the does indeed add distance. I see the T1100 as a variation on the design of the Black and Red. Together, these 4 shafts are an great fitting matrix. Lets take a look at the measurements.

Project X LZ Tour Graphite Iron Shaft Review

Project X LZ Tour Graphite Iron Shaft Review

The Project X Loading Zone steel shaft is getting a lot of tour play. Our tester with a 117 mph driver speed has made the Project X LZ 6.5 his gamer in his irons. Now the same brand name is on a 90 gram carbon fiber shaft for those of us with more modest swing speeds. I first noticed the shaft when my 2017 Mizuno fitting cart update arrived. This year’s 90g shaft from Mizuno is the Project X Tour LZ in a 5.0 and 6.0 flex.

What really got my attention was the FlexLoc torsional bands in the mid section of the shaft. These are the same bands used in the Project X LZ driver shafts. In the driver shaft, these band maintain stable torque and hoop strength through a section of the shaft with reduced wall thickness that created the soft midsection loading zone.

True Temper Dynamic Gold X Seven Golf Shaft Review

True Temper Dynamic Gold X Seven

What new product can a company offer to strong golfers when they already have two of the most popular shafts in play on the PGA tour, the Dynamic Gold X100 and the Project X? We have seen the addition of the 7.0 flex of the Project X. That is a big number. How about hanging a Seven on the iconic Dynamic Gold brand. I see the Dynamic Gold X Seven profile as more like the Project X than a Dynamic Gold X100.
