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.
Specs
Project X offers the HZRDUS Smoke Yellow in two divisions. The Small Batch versions which are the better performing options or the non-Small batch versions which may be more affordable for most golfers. Small Batch options come in 60, 70, and 80 gram models. Non-Small Batch shafts come in 60 and 70 gram weights. Small Batch shafts come in only tour extra flex (6.5TX) options. Non-Small Batch shafts are available in stiff (6.0) and extra stiff (6.5) flexes. HZRDUS Smoke Yellow can be found through Project X’s dealership network and at online club building studios.
