MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Among the world’s most advanced steel shafts, Rifle® Project X lived up to its reputation as one of the world’s most advanced steel shafts and won the HSBC World Match Play Championship in record-breaking fashion. Playing premium Rifle Project X shafts in his irons, the English-born champion set an historic, new benchmark at the HSBC World Match Play Championship at Wentworth Club when he delivered the biggest victory in the past 43 finals.

“We’re very excited with another win on the European Tour and the strong support that Rifle shafts receive from the world’s best players,” says Ray Lucas, vice president and general manager of Rifle and Precision brands for True Temper. “Project X steel shafts are well-known for delivering solid consistency by using a unique constant taper profile that provides greater energy transfer to the ball and optimum trajectory, and that’s why 12 of the world’s Top 20 golfers currently play Rifle shafts.”

The Rifle Project X, manufactured by True Temper Sports, is one of the most advanced steel shaft designs in the world, combining four advanced technologies to deliver unparalleled performance: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design Technology that provides greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact; Patented Internal ‘Rifling’ that transfers energy more efficiently than other steel shafts, reduces vibration and increases distance; and advanced Flighted Technology that features variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set.
