Project X Red Iron Shaft Review: Guest Review

I’ve been telling you about the new Project X Red iron shafts since they were released back in late spring of this year.  And I’ve now been fit into two different sets of irons with Project X Red as the ideal steel shafts.

I get a little more launch and extra spin with Red (compared to Project X Blue) and at the same time Red are every bit as stable and precise as Blue. I love these shafts. And so of course we have to have a giveaway for a full set of Project X Red iron shafts on my X and Instagram.

The winner’s review here is right to the point. And what Project X Red does for Gates is exactly Project X Red is designed to do.  Don’t make the mistake of believing higher launch and more spin is just for slower swing speed players however. It’s not.  And Project X Red comes in a 120 gram 6.5 (X-Stiff) flex.

A quick note about Gates before we get to his review.  Gates and I talked a lot about what flex and weight might be best for him.  Eventually he went out to a fitter and hit them all before deciding on the ideal weight and flex for his game.  And Gates if you’re reading this, I just want to say I respect your dedication to your game.  AGNB baby!

So here’s Gates’ review in his own words.  And Project X Red literally and immediately improved his already very strong iron game.

Hi Pete, I’ve been meaning to text THANKS for the Project X Red shafts I won in July.  I play P790s and bought another set of heads to put them in.  

My current sent is great (thank you Club Champion), but I got them 7 years ago when I turned 50.   My game has changed since then.

The Project X Reds seem to be a great fit.  With my existing set, I had started hitting the ball a little low.

The Reds advertise help hitting it higher, and I saw it immediately.  On a launch monitor, they seem to be 10-15% higher. They carry farther than my existing set and stop faster. No more long run outs.

As a low single digit, this is going to be a big help. I love them!

There you have it. Project X Red for the win for Gates.  And I’m thrilled you like them so much Gates!

As always, anytime any of you win something from me and want to write a review just let me know.   It's always great to read about your unique experiences.  And cheers to better golf and having more fun for us all!
