Project X LZ Review

When you think about golf products that are handcrafted, you might consider putters or head covers; rotating shafts would be fairly much down the list. But why? If your craftsman's attention to detail may make a putter useful and lovely, why should not the same apply to a spear?

That is the question that Project X raises with their LZ Hand Crafted rotating shafts that are new. Made one at a time by five master craftsman these shafts also feature two new technologies designed to supply control, space, and uniformity.

Feel

The name "LZ" stands for "Loading Zone," and one swing enables you to know just what that means. At the center of the rotating shaft (shown above), you get a powerful load in a huge kick and transition . The kick's character is just what you'd anticipate from Project X: powerful and tight without being twisty or sloppy.

Why is the Project X LZ unique is that you just get a huge bang in the middle with great equilibrium in both point and the butt of the shaft. This also gives it a truly consistent feel and helps to make the shaft quite precise.

Appearances

The type of images go with a rotating shaft that is handcrafted? Hand drawn on ones, clearly. Ones' designers hand drew the images, and they feature the torque, flex, weight, and loading zone of the rotating shaft. The graphics' tone relates white for the 50 g, blue for lime green for the 70 g, and the 60 g, as seen above. Overall, I think that it is a cool, understated appearance that fits extremely good with the narrative of the rotating shaft.

Operation

The Project X LZ is charged as a rotating shaft that is not difficult while still managing to keep the twist down to start. It undoubtedly delivers on that assurance, as you can see in the amounts above.

Among the most remarkable things is the uniformity. Most rotating shafts with a huge kick need lots of time, which often leads to unpleasant and large misses dispersion. The soft centre of the LZ spear features the proprietary FlexLok technology which keeps that kick sensing the exact same swing of Project X. This means tighter dispersion on the class and less time.

Along with my testing, I discussed at Team Champion with our pals. Our Friends said that in their appointments they have seen this rotating shaft help to improve players' ball speed, especially in the 50 g variation, while still handling spin efficiently.

One closing note: the Project X LZ can be obtained in 3 different weight classes (50, 60, and 70 grams) and flexes from 5.5 to 7.0. The version goes beyond just shifting the weight and flex: Project X transfers the shaft's loading zone in each version to better fit the player that will be using that rotating shaft: the LZ is lower in the lighter, more adaptable models and higher in the heavier, more powerful variations.

Decision

It is tough to find fault it provides superb launching, and great ball speed, precision and spin states. In addition, it has a strong kick. In addition to all that, it's that unique "It" factor of being handcrafted in America in very small amounts.
