Project X LS Iron Shaft Review

The True Temper Project X LS released in 2020 has the look of the original Royal Precision Project X, it is stepless and it has a brushed finish. This is the first steel shaft I can recall from TrueTemper with a brushed finish. Unlike chrome, a brushed finish is matte, dispersing reflections. it is a great looking shaft made to very high quality and consistency standards. Lets take a close look at it and compare the LS version to the Project X.

LAGolf Shafts is taking a new approach to the golf shaft business. Professional Golf playing partners participate in the design of their golf shafts. LAGolf is committed to being a different shaft company. The shafts will be designed in with playing partners and made in the USA. The LAGolf Olyss profile was what I had expected. It is labeled as John Oldenburg Signature Series. John was the head of design at Aldila. The Green paint fill on LA tells the story, lets look at the profile.
