Project X LZ Steel Iron Shaft
The Project X LZ Steel Iron Shaft is a premium, tour-proven shaft designed for golfers seeking a mid-trajectory flight with enhanced feel and increased energy transfer. Featuring proprietary Loading Zone Technology, this shaft delivers a unique combination of stability, responsiveness, and distance, making it suitable for a broad range of players, from mid-handicappers to professionals. Its variable wall design provides a smooth yet stable feel, ideal for those transitioning from standard steel shafts or seeking more height and spin than traditional Project X models.
- Loading Zone Technology: Achieves 7% greater energy transfer to the ball through variable wall thickness—stiff butt and tip sections with a softer midsection—resulting in maximum shaft load during the downswing for enhanced distance and feel.
- Progressive Weight Profiles: Available in multiple flexes with weights ranging from 110g (5.0) to 125g (6.5), catering to various swing speeds and player preferences.
- Mid-Launch, Mid-Spin Profile: Delivers a balanced trajectory with slightly higher launch and spin than standard Project X shafts, optimizing ball flight and control.
- Rapid Taper Design: Visible tapered steps from grip to midsection enhance the loading feel, providing a distinct, smooth sensation during the swing.
- Finishes: Available in Chrome or Blackout/Black Onyx for aesthetic customization.

- Launch and Spin: Mid-launch (~20–25° with 7-iron) and mid-spin (~5,000–6,000 rpm), slightly higher than Project X or Dynamic Gold, ideal for balanced flight.
- Turf Interaction: Stable tip and moderate weight ensure consistent performance from various lies; suitable for most turf conditions.
