 TORRINGTON,
Conn. — America’s leading manufacturer
of premium steel shafts, Royal Precision, announces
the world’s most advanced steel shaft — the
Rifle Project X™ — is now available
in a wood shaft.
As an iron shaft, the Rifle Project X was a six-time
winner on the PGA Tour in 2004, including the
Masters. The sophisticated Rifle® design
is well-known for its unique combination of multiple
technologies to produce unparalleled steel shaft
performance.
“Four of the world’s top six ranked
golfers play premium Rifle shafts, and the brand’s
continued success comes down to performance,” says
John Lauchnor, president and CEO of Royal Precision. “The
culmination of Royal Precision’s patented
and innovative technologies, the Rifle Project
X is the world’s most advanced steel shaft,
and is well-known on professional tours for providing
quick ball launch and a long, penetrating trajectory.
We’re extremely excited to offer that same
technology in a wood shaft.”
Unlike other steel shafts on the market today,
Rifle shafts merge four distinct technologies
for the ultimate in shaft performance. Frequency
Matching perfectly matches a set of Project X
clubs through electronic calibration, and Stepless
Design Technology eliminates energy-robbing ‘steps’ and
provides greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid,
feel at impact. Flighted Technology produces
variable ball trajectories for different clubs
within a single set, while Royal Precision’s
patented Internal ‘Rifling’ efficiently
transfers energy, reduces vibration and increases
distance. In addition, the Rifle Project X offers
the longest constant taper rate of any steel
golf shaft, a design benefit that provides one
of the industry’s highest levels of energy
transfer to the ball at impact.
For more than 80 years, many of golf’s
greatest players have trusted Royal Precision
to provide Tour-quality shafts – for good
reason. Royal Precision premium shafts and grips
have won every major U.S. championship, every
major on the Senior and LPGA Tours, Player of
the Year titles on every tour, multiple Vardon
Trophies, and nine of the last 10 Orders of Merit.
