(Assembled) Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black RDX Driver Shaft with Adap...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX is a low-launch, low-spin driver shaft for players with a fast, aggressive tempo. True Temper pairs Hexcel HexTow HM54 high-modulus carbon fiber with HexTow IM2C carbon fiber and gives the shaft an ultra-stiff midsection and a firm tip section, so it stays stable when you load it hard. We sell it in the 60, 70 and 80 series in 6.0 and 6.5 flex. It arrives assembled with your choice of adapter and grip, ready to attach to your driver or fairway wood head.

Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Have a fast, aggressive tempo and load the shaft hard through transition
- Launch the ball too high or spin it too much with your current shaft
- Want a flatter, more penetrating flight that holds up in the wind
- Want a firm tip that doesn't kick early and an ultra-stiff mid that feels solid
- Want a heavier build: we sell the 70 and 80 series as well as the 60
Not the right fit if you...
- Have a smooth or deliberate tempo: True Temper designs this shaft for fast tempos
- Already launch the ball low or struggle to carry it: look at a mid-launch shaft instead
- Need a regular or softer flex: we sell the Smoke Black RDX in 6.0 (stiff) and 6.5 (x-stiff) only
How It Plays
True Temper rates the Smoke Black RDX low launch, low spin, fast tempo. The profile comes from an ultra-stiff midsection with a firm tip section: the mid resists bending when you transition hard, and the firm tip keeps the head from kicking up through impact. The result is a flatter, more boring flight with less spin.
The material is what the RDX name is about. True Temper says it was the first shaft to use Hexcel's HexTow HM54 high-modulus carbon fiber, paired here with high-strength HexTow IM2C fiber. High-modulus fiber adds stiffness without adding weight, and the IM2C adds strength, which gives the stable, solid feel HZRDUS players look for.
Because the profile is built for fast tempos, it rewards players who swing aggressively. If your transition is smooth, the Smoke Black RDX can feel boardy and launch too low; a softer mid-launch profile will usually serve you better.
