Project X LZ shafts

JetPilot · June 16

I have loved these shafts and thought they were discontinued. But looking at the manufacturer website, it looks like they are still offered. Is True Temper still making this shaft? If so, happy to see it.

Yes they are still made. Probably the 2nd most popular after the OG PX so it is doubtful that they are going anywhere.

Thank you. I haven't had my eye on equipment in the last couple of years, but loved these so much I put one in my driver a couple of years ago and True Temper wasn't offering them. I had to go through a reseller who still had them in stock. Somebody told me that a different shaft had replaced it - but can't remember what it was. Anyway, glad to see they are still around.

Are you referring to the px lz graphite wood shafts or the px lz steel iron shafts?

the steel iron shafts are popular and still current and available. The graphite shafts I believe have been discontinued.

I think you are correct - it was the graphite wood shafts that were discontinued. I did find one online to fit my driver and love it.

@JetPilot apologies, I assumed you were referring to the steel as the graphite shafts haven’t been produced in years.

Project X HZRDUS Yellow and RDX Blue are similar.

It looks like both of these shafts are described as low launch - while the LZ shaft was mid high. Although the bend profiles are described as similar. I have a hard time finding a driver shaft/head combo that I love. I may pick up another LZ online just to have one around.

I think due to marketing reasons the low launch classification has become much wider than in years past. Almost everyone thinks they need a low/low shaft since that's what "good" players play, and any mention of high launch and especially high spin would make a shaft DOA if it's not in the seniors/women's category. So everything is low to mid, but just how low is low and how much mid is mid is harder to decern soley based off of the manufacturer's classification.
