One of the biggest questions we have continued to get about Project X has been if we would ever see the HandCrafted releases make their triumphant return. In fact, it has typically been the first question we have received with each new shaft release from the brand.
Well, the time is now, HandCrafted is indeed back, and there is no better way to kick it off than the new HZRDUS T1100.

Project X HandCrafted HZRDUS T1100
If you are new to the game, when Project X talks HandCrafted it not only means one of the coolest logo’s ever in golf, but also that each shaft is being rolled by hand in the PX R&D lab in San Diego, CA. This process means precision to the highest level possible, with excruciatingly tight tolerances and the shafts being trimmed to frequency bringing things to an even higher level.

Well-known and respected among THP’ers, Don Brown, VP of Marketing and Innovation for Project X had this to say:
“We are beyond excited to be able to bring back a HandCrafted line of graphite shafts. When producing a HandCrafted shaft, each shaft is rolled by hand, painted by hand and the logos are even applied by hand, all in our San Diego lab, ensuring the utmost care is taken along the way.”

However, this isn’t a rehash of previous HZRDUS T1100 shafts. Although other versions have long been known as some of the most stout golf shafts on the planet, as professional golfers continue to get stronger and faster, the T1100 needed to as well. So, this version is utilizing a new “4D Optimized Carbon Technology”. This new carbon fiber spread tow weave is strategically placed throughout the shaft and angled at 45 degrees for more torsional resistance. The material is actually visible throughout the shaft and is the key to creating the most stable shaft to date from Project X.

Naturally, this is being classed as a low launch and low spin behemoth, which PX always means when they say it. The Hand Crafted HZRDUS T1100 will be available in 60g, 70g, and 80g models with the more detailed specifications shown below:

Because HandCrafted is such a limited process in how many shafts can be created per day, there will be more information on a full retail launch to come, and THP will have all the information at that time. However, the shaft will be making its debut this week at the Valero Texas Open with significant early adoption predicted.
This shaft is definitely not for me – but a few things stand out from this article.
#1 – You are correct, the logo is one of the coolest in golf – I love it.
#2 – The visual tech in these things is cool.
Handcrafted is BACK!!!!! It makes me super happy.
Not for me but seeing the roll out on insta really has me wishing it was.
Handcrafted is back!! Yes!!
Great way to welcome its return. Love the visual tech incorporated on the T1100!
This baby looks [I]stout[/I]
Probably not one that is a fit for me, but pretty cool.
When you say: [I]The material is actually visible throughout the shaft and is the key to creating the most stable shaft to date from Project X. [/I]Was this to say the material is the key to the stable shaft or the fact that its visible is key to the stability….or both? [I] [/I]Was curious if the material being visible throughout the shaft somehow improved the stability of the shaft as well.
I’ve never gotten along with Hzrdus shafts, but I really like the look of this one. Glad they brought back the handcrafted series as well. I know it’s the same shaft as the production models, but it’s cool to know the extra effort that’s put into these.

The material itself is what provides the stability…
The fact that you can see it through the shadow chrome just makes it bad ass.
Those are purtyyyyyy
Hmmmm very very cool that Handcrafted is making a comeback. Watching the process through the experience TT did here was great insight. T1100 may be a little too much for this guy- but still a cool story nonetheless.

I freaking adore this quote Don! Hahaha
Oh shit!! I need one!!! Or 3.
While this shaft may be a bit much for me, I know that I will have a HandCrafted something in the bag at some point. I always loved that branding.

I will see if I can find. It was in a thread about designing a shaft look.. not too long ago.

Swing that banana!!
Very cool to see HandCrafted make a return!!
Loving all the videos that PX is putting out on this
Not sure if a T1100 would fit my game but I wouldn’t mind trying to find a used one. I miss the handcrafted yellow and red
Love it that they are all handcrafted. T1100 is most likely way too stout for my sorry a** swing
I just got rid of like 30 shafts.. no I need a new one. Lol
Went to club champion and met Jeff from Project X in Canada. Super cool guy and very knowledgeable . After hitting the new shafts I chatted him up for almost an hour and learned so much from him about the design process and just how long they’ve been working on this updated version
I walked out with the 60 6.5 in driver and a 70 6.5 for BRNR Mini
They did a phenomenal job making this shaft super stiff but not feeling like a board. I didn’t feel any action in the shaft at all. I knew where the club head was throughout the whole seing
Where this shaft shined for me was the mishits. I hit some balls I thought would be hooking or slicing off the planet but it stayed on a very neutral line…. Also love the look of the carbon weave in there

I hit this versus my KBS TD and the Aretera Grey. It was close between Aretera and the HZRDUS but I had more center contact with the HZRDUS. Aretera had very minimal more feel and the tiniest of a kick through impact. HZRDUS had no kick at all but that’s what I like in driver
The universal adapter at club champion made it very heavy at D8 so my swing speed with the HZRDUS was 3mph slower but my smash went from a 1.46 to a 1.49 on Trackman
At 2.3 torque and 281 CPM, the HZRDUS will hold up to any swing thrown at it. I was able to swing way more freely without a fear of losing it either direction
played my first round with these in a qi10 LS and BRNR Mini.
What i can say is if you dont have your best swing, then these can feel like alot of shaft. I was pretty sore from yard work the day before and this shaft felt pretty stiff compared to swinging them the day before at the club champion event
The first 3 – 4 holes were a little rough swinging it but after that i loosened up finally and hit 7 of the next 8 fairways. 3 for 3 with the BRNR Mini which is a beast with this shaft
