I recently reshafted my new Taylormade Burner Superfast Driver with a Project X Graphite Shaft. I was dissatisfied with the standard shaft setup and length that came with the Superfast, so reshafting was a the logical decision in my case. I've had a good month of solid testing with this and I wanted to give my thoughts to the forum.
From the company:
The name that revolutionized steel shafts and won major tournaments around the world just got better. Introducing the new Project X driver and hybrid shafts, the Next Generation in sophisticated Project X engineering.
Driver
The new Project X driver shaft has a similar bend profile to Project X iron shafts. The driver shaft’s firm tip design yields a penetrating launch and low spin while its low torque and reinforced cross section provide the most stable shaft performance on tour.
Testing
Need For A New Shaft
My biggest issue with the standard setup of the Superfast was inconsistency and forgiveness. I am an amateur golfer with a swing speed in the mid 120's and I am going to have a couple of off center hits on the driver in a given round. Minimizing a bad result from a mis-hit is one of my main concerns in a driver.
Shaft Fitting
I went through an Online Shaft Fitting process. I have since learned about the online shaft fitting offered through the Project X website from tcalloway1's iron shaft project thread . The online fitting site can be found here. ShaftFit.com. I was fit with a PX 7.0 6A4 69g. shaft.
Looks
The Project X Graphite Shaft is very subtle in it's beauty but comes roaring to life with it's background. It has a base color of Royal Blue with Silver lettering. Upon looking at the shaft a little closer, there is a matted finish in the background of the brand lettering of a very simple but strong tribal art design. That art is what gives this shaft it's voice. The shaft is very quiet upon first looking at it, but makes it's statement upon further testing and inspection by just flat out performing.
Conclusion
This shaft is the real deal.There have been 5 PX Driver shaft victories including Ernie Els and Justin Rose have both won 2 tournaments to date this season using this shaft. Justin Rose won his two using my exact setup.
The Project X Graphite Driver Shaft has helped out my driver game tremendously. Although I did not see any distance gains, there weren't any losses. My consistency and accuracy has improved and it's allowed me to hit more fairways, giving me an even better chance of hitting greens.
Anyone in the market for a new driver shaft should take a look at this one. I also recommend that you should first go through the online shaft fitting for a proper fit as mentioned above.
My next step is to put this shaft in my 3 wood and hybrid. Until next time.
