RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)


🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts

Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.

We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.


Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.

 

INTERNATIONAL RETURNS

We do not accept any international returns at this time.

At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:

Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees

  • International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.
  • If duties and taxes are not paid upon delivery, the carrier may be unable to complete the shipment and may return the package to us.

Refused or Unpaid Shipments

  • If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
  • In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
  • Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.

Lost or Delayed Shipments

  • Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.
  • If a package is significantly delayed, we encourage customers to contact their local customs office or the carrier for more information.

By placing an international order (any order shipped outside the US), you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

REFUNDS

Refunds are normally processed back to the original account (ie. credit card or PayPal). If you prefer store credit, please include this note of the refund request.

DID WE MAKE A MISTAKE?

If there was an issue with your order (the wrong was delivered, or the product arrived damage due to carrier neglect), we will ask you to send us some pictures. If the item is confirmed to be incorrect, we will provide a return label to send back the items. Once the items are back in our warehouse, we will resend your order with the correct items. We cannot ship out a replacement order until the original items are received back.

If we are able to cancel the order for you, there will be a 5% restocking fee deducted from the refund.

Who It's For

Good fit if you...

  • Want a lighter HZRDUS: 47 g to 59 g in the 40, 50 and 60 series
  • Swing about 85 to 100 mph (Grips4Less fitting guidance); the 40 series 4.0 suits slower swings that want more height

Not the right fit if you...


How It Plays

Counterbalanced. CB stands for counter balance, meaning more of the shaft's weight sits toward the handle. Project X gives the Red CB lighter weights, more moderate torques and a player-friendly bend profile for a moderate tempo.

Mid launch, mid spin. The 50 and 60 series are rated mid launch and mid spin. The light 40 series in 4.0 flex is rated high launch and high spin for slower swings.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • I need a shaft with an adapter for Tommy armour 845+ driver with stiff shaft

    Hi Jim,

    Yes, the Project X HZRDUS Red CB Gen 4 is available in Stiff flex and can be built for a driver.

    The Tommy Armour 845+ uses a proprietary Tommy Armour adapter rather than a Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping, or other major-brand adapter. We do not currently list that adapter as a standard selection on our assembled-shaft page.

    Before ordering, please send us:

    • A photo of your driver head and current adapter
    • Whether the club is right- or left-handed
    • The desired finished playing length

    We can then verify the exact adapter. If a compatible Tommy Armour adapter is available, we can source and install it. Alternatively, you may send us your existing adapter for installation on the new shaft.

    Please do not select a different manufacturer’s adapter, as it will not fit the Tommy Armour head.

    Best,
    Jim

  • Hello I’m looking for A Project X HZRDUS Black Gen 5 (TX) pre-built with the Ping G430 with a ping g430 adapter installed and cut to 45” playing length with an oversized grip And A Kai'li Blue stiff/65 grams with a Callaway paradigm AI smoke max Callaway OptiFit adapter installed. Playing length 45.5” inches with an oversized grip. Just wondering what the price would be for each and together? Also is there any type of warranty with your shafts? Thanks George

    Hi George,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    We can certainly build both shafts to your requested specifications:

    1. Project X HZRDUS Black Gen 5 TX
      • Ping G430 adapter installed
      • Built to 45" playing length
      • Oversize grip installed
    2. Mitsubishi Kai'li Blue 65 Stiff
      • Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max OptiFit adapter installed
      • Built to 45.5" playing length
      • Oversize grip installed

    For current pricing, the easiest way is to configure each shaft on our website with your desired adapter, grip, and length options. The website will automatically calculate the exact build price for each shaft and your total cost.

    As for warranty coverage, all of our shafts are covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If a shaft experiences a warranty-related failure, we will assist you with the warranty process. Please note that damage resulting from misuse, abuse, modifications, or accidental damage is generally not covered by the manufacturer.

    If you would like, I can also help you select the specific oversized grip model and verify the final playing lengths before you place the order.

    Best regards,

    Grips4Less

  • Does it come with a grip on it?

    • The shaft by itself does NOT come with a grip
    • It is sold as a raw / uncut shaft
    •  If you want it with a grip:

      You’ll want the assembled version, where we can:

      • Install the adapter tip
      • Install the grip
      • Cut to your specs

       The assembled version comes ready to play with everything installed

  • Does this shaft fit a Callaway Ai smoke 3 wood without having to change the hosel adaptor?

    Hi Mike,

    Great question! The short answer is yes, but it depends on how you order the shaft from our store.

    1. If you order the "Assembled" version: When you purchase the assembled Project X HZRDUS Red CB from us, you will see a dropdown menu to select your "Adapter Tip." You should select the Callaway option. We will then install a brand-new Callaway OptiFit adapter that is 100% compatible with the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke 3-wood. You will simply need your adjustment wrench to click the head onto the new shaft.

    2. Regarding your existing adapter: If you already have a shaft with a Callaway adapter from a previous model (like the Paradym, Rogue ST, or Epic), that same adapter will fit the new Ai Smoke 3-wood head. Callaway has maintained the same "OptiFit" system for their drivers and fairway woods for several generations.

    3. Technical Specs: The HZRDUS Red CB Gen 4 has a .335" tip diameter, which is the standard size for the Callaway Ai Smoke fairway wood heads.

    Summary: As long as you select the "Callaway" adapter option during checkout, it will arrive ready to plug directly into your Ai Smoke 3-wood without any modifications needed!

    Best regards,

    Jim Grips4Less

  • Why does your photos show a beautiful black and red color scheme but on the order page it is an ugly white ? YUK!

    The 40 series / 4.0 flex (Ladies) is the white finish. All other skus are black finish.
