Project X HZRDUS Smoke iM10 Graphite Wood Shaft
Overview
Contrary to popular belief, when it comes to carbon fiber, stiffness and strength are not the same. Often a stiff material is very brittle, and a strong material is not very stiff. This makes shaft engineers develop a combination of multiple materials to try and dial in ideal strength and stiffness properties for a certain shaft, and in doing so, creates trade-offs when trying to design a lightweight, stable shaft that delivers maximum energy transfer. This is where Hexcel’s® most advanced HexTow® carbon fiber comes in: iM10. The iM10 family of shafts are the first Project X shafts to feature Hexcel’s® incredibly unique iM10 carbon fiber, a very high modulus (stiff) and very high strength carbon fiber allowing for new possibilities in golf shaft design. iM10 shafts offer unmatched stability in both a playable mid launch/spin design and a counterbalanced low launch/spin tour design—providing a variety of options to best suit your game.
| MODERATE | LOW-MID | LOW-MID |
| TEMPO | TRAJECTORY | SPIN |
Tempo is not how fast you swing it, it is how you swing it fast. Tempo will affect how you load and unload the shaft and is a big factor in which shaft will best suit you. A player with a quicker backswing and more aggressive transition will have a faster tempo, while a player with a slower backswing and smoother transition will have a more deliberate tempo. |
Trajectory is the flight of the ball and the peak height that the ball reaches. A player who struggles with getting the ball in the air should look towards a higher trajectory shaft, while a player who struggles hitting the ball too high should look for a lower trajectory shaft. | Spin is the amount of backspin that the ball has. The designs of certain golf shafts can promote more or less spin so keep this in mind when looking for a shaft to maximize your game. |
