Design and Technology
Project X crafts the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow with their Small Batch program. The Small Batch program gives more attention to golf shafts that allow players to demand the highest levels of performance possible. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow is reinforced with specifically optimized materials to give it a stiffer profile and a higher balanced point. Raising the balance point of the golf shaft enables players, club fitters, and builders to use more mass at the club head and provide players a distinct advantage. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow is also stiffer in the mid-section to hold up at all speeds.
