TrueTemper is releasing a number of new Project X driver shafts in 2021. This is the first set I have measured. It is offered with several graphics. Lets listen to what TrueTemper has to say about this 2021 Shaft.

The Project X RDX Smoke Blue is available as a no charge option from some of the brands. Several models are available from TaylorMade. To compare the Project X Smoke Blue RDX to other shafts, lets look at the measurements.

There are two models of the 2020 EvenFlow Riptide driver shaft from TrueTemper. One is noted CB for counter balanced. As I have seen many times, counter balancing has more effect on the shaft profile that it will have on the balance of a driver. Lets take a look at the profiles of the two models. 

Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green Golf Shaft Review

The HZRDUS Smoke Green is the third design in the Smoke series. With the HZRDUS Smoke Black and the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow, it completes a fitting set. The HZRDUS Smoke Green is the first shaft from TrueTemper to use a new material, Hexcel’s HexTow HN63. It is lighter yet stiffer than previous material.

When I first wrote this review I did not notice that some of the shafts were marked with a very small TX below the stiffness number. This caused some confusion that resolved when the non TX 6,5 shafts arrived.

The TX versions are different EI profiles. They have much firmer midlsections.
