Review: Project X Graphite Driver Shaft
The Project X Graphite shaft is designed to provide lower spin, longer carry and a laser guided trajectory.
I got a chance to review this because I won a Project X shaft in a twitter contest that the company had. Once I won the contest, I needed to pick out which version I wanted sent to me.
I talked to a few friends in golf, asked their opinions, than headed out to the driving range at Sterling Farms Golf Course. They have a beautiful trackman setup in their Callaway Fitting center. I would highly recommend going there if you are near Stamford, CT.
I tried the 6.5 shaft in a number of heads and noticed a few things.
The trajectory at which the ball was being launched was perfect. There was no ballooning, and the picture on the trackman was beautiful to look at. I feel like I could go after it without worrying about big hooks. Although it was at a 6.5 frequency, I didn’t feel boardy. It was smooth, and it is a very stable shaft. For higher swing speed players this is a great shaft that will kill spin, and result in better rollout and longer distance overall if fitted properly. The better a swing I put on it, the better the shaft performed.

The Vharness is a swing trainer with the goal of teaching anyone to swing like a pro. The Vharness is endorsed by Rocco Mediate, who I think is a brilliant spokesperson for this product because of how well heconnects with average golfers. He looks like a guy in your foursome. But of course he has [...]

Today I had the chance to play the Penta TP. I bought two sleeves and headed out to meet some friends at Great River Golf Club in Milford, CT.
The Penta has 5 layers (thus the name), and each layer is supposed to make the ball react properly.
Layer 1: Feel
This layer is the urethane cover for [...]

The Thumb Caddy is a clever golf training aid. It’s main purpose is to help players stop regripping the golf club. I know that I have been guilty of this in the past.
I’m not sure what causes the regrip, but I think in my case it was a quest for more distance. I think that [...]

I recently ordered the small (20″ x 30″ ) Country Club Elite golf mat from Real Feel Golf Mats.
I’ve heard about a lot of mats that promise to give you the lush feel of hitting off a fairway and being able to “take a divot”. I was a bit skeptical but I knew I needed [...]

So an interesting thing happened the other day. I popped into my local club builder because I had been thinking of switching out a shaft in a driver and I needed to a pick up a three wood that was going to go into Adams for repair.
We started talking about why I wanted to change [...]
