Project X shaft has been one of the most successful shafts on the PGA Tour.
Because of the aforementioned, it probably does not bode well with the majority of golfers - after all, not everyone has a tour caliber swing.
However since 2006, Rifle announced two other Project X versions, Flighted and High Launch, that may be a better fit.
Let's review arguably the most technologically advanced steel shaft ever made.
First, the original Project X shaft with its patented Frequency Matching, Stepless Design and Rifling - a very complex shaft that took more than 2 years in the making to develop.
The shaft was designed with a constant taper - definitely geared for the advanced player.
The constant taper tips result in a higher kick point.
A higher kick point equates to a lower ball trajectory which gives the advanced player more control and a penetrating ball flight.
Advanced player is the keyword here.
After all, a higher kick point is also known to be harder to launch if not in the hands of the right player.
At a minimum, a good deal of club head speed must be present for the player to take full advantage of this shaft.
   In 2006, Royal Precision launched a new shaft called the Project X Flighted.
In typical Royal Precision fashion, it stayed low on the radar screen.
After all, Project X was only for "the better player" right? Well not exactly.
This shaft had flighted technology - the shaft would embody the original Project X with an added feature.
Royal Precision designed the shaft with a kick point that "adjusts" to the iron.
That is, the shorter iron had a higher kick point for a lower launch and control while the longer irons had a lower kick point for an easier and higher launch.
Royal Precision did not rest on their laurels - the Project X High Launch also made its debut in 2006.
Project X is the only steel shaft to incorporate four technologies, frequency matching, stepless design, rifling, and flighted technology.
And now in all its glory, Rifle introduced a shaft that would incorporate a longer tip parallel section and reduced weight to allow greater transfer at ball impact and a higher launch.
Mission accomplished - Rifle Project X shaft was now available for the higher handicapper as well as the tour caliber player.
The Project X is without a doubt one of the most technologically advanced iron shaft ever made.
And now the Project X is geared for most any type of swing.
Whether it is the Project X, Project X Flighted or Project X High Launch shaft, you owe it to yourself to check out the Rifle Project X.
