Project X LZ Shaft Review

Project X has been incredibly successful in making iron shafts for the game’s best players and very strong swingers. To their own admission, however, the standard Project X iron and wedge shaft does not fit the need of most amateur golfers. Enter Project X LZ. The Project X LZ maintains all the playing benefits of the standard shaft but gives players easier launch and an improved feel, especially at  slower swing speeds . Players that have always loved the performance of Project X but felt they had to work too hard to play them consistently have a great new option in the Project X LZ. Loading Zone Technology redistributes the weight of the shaft for ultimate stability and a signature smooth feel.

I play Project X shafts in my irons and love the performance benefits of Project X’s design. The LZ shaft is perfect for players that want similar performance but do not have tour-level swing speeds. Overall, I felt immediately comfortable with the LZ shafts and loved the feeling I was receiving with my 7 iron. Through age or diminishing swing speeds, I will have no problem transitioning into this incredible engineering accomplishment.

LZ combines the benefits of premium materials into a brand new design that gave Project X the ability to couple responsiveness and feel into an ultra-stable iron shaft. Players that are looking for the performance advantages of Project X with a smooth feel will love the Project X LZ. LZ also makes a great option for players looking to transition their wedge shafts into something slightly softer, especially if they are playing Project X standard shafts in their irons.

We are the Project X LZ shaft, designed to provide golfers with a unique blend of feel, performance, and versatility. Our name "LZ" stands for "Loading Zone," which refers to our innovative design featuring variable wall technology.

Our construction incorporates a softer mid-section while maintaining firm butt and tip sections. This creates a distinct loading zone that allows golfers to feel the shaft load and unload during their swing. As a result, we offer a smooth yet powerful feel that many players find appealing.

One of our key strengths is our versatility. We're designed to suit a wide range of golfers, from those seeking more feel in their iron shafts to players looking for consistent performance. Our mid-launch profile and ability to manage spin effectively make us adaptable to different swing types and preferences.

Golfers who use us often report excellent consistency in their shots. Our FlexLok technology helps maintain a consistent kick feel swing after swing, leading to tighter dispersion on the course. We also tend to produce great ball speeds, which can translate to increased distance for many players.

We come in various weight classes (50, 60, and 70 grams) and flexes (from 5.5 to 7.0), with our loading zone positioned differently in each model to better suit different player types. This range of options allows golfers to find the perfect fit for their swing.

Crafted with attention to detail, we are hand-made in the USA in limited quantities, giving us a special "It" factor that some golfers appreciate. We're available through OEM custom departments and True Temper Performance Fitting Centers.

Overall, we pride ourselves on delivering a combination of feel, performance, and consistency that many golfers find ideal for their iron play. However, as with any golf equipment, we always recommend proper fitting to ensure we're the right match for an individual golfer's swing and preferences.
