True Temper releases Project X Red iron shafts for more height and spin
For nearly his entire professional career, four-time major winner Rory McIlroy has used Project X 7.0 shafts in his irons and Project X 6.5 shafts in his wedges. Jordan Spieth, a three-time major winner, has been using Project X 6.5 shafts in his irons and wedges throughout his career, too. Those shafts are designed to create a low-launch, low-spin condition that helps McIlroy and Spieth control the ball, predictably, around the course.
However, that profile ‒ low launch and low spin ‒ is not ideal for many recreational golfers and players who lack the speed and control that elite golfers possess. Now, with the release of Project X Red iron shafts, there is another option that can be explored.
Project X Red shafts, which will cost $47 each, are made of steel and designed to create a higher launch and more spin while maintaining the same level of stability and consistency found in the original Project X shafts, which some golfers have already started referring to as Project X Blue. To make that happen, Project X Red retains stiffness in the handle and mid sections, but its tip section is softer, so as the clubhead approaches the ball and the low-point of your swing, it should bend more easily and encourage a higher flight.
Project X Red is also designed in lighter weights, which, again, should make it an option for recreational players who want to maintain clubhead speed. The stiffest version has a 6.5 frequency and tips the scales at 120 grams, uncut, with the 6.0 weighing 110 grams and the 5.5 version being 100 grams.

SuperStroke expands from greens to fairways with REVL grip lineup
SuperStroke expands from greens to fairways with REVL grip lineup This new family of grips for woods, irons and wedges blends Lamkin engineering with SuperStroke materials. SuperStroke has offered full-swing grips for years but remains best known for its taperless putter grips. With the release of the new REVL line of grips designed for woods, irons and wedges, the company is looking to change that. The REVL lineup marks SuperStroke's first major entry into the club grip market since acquiring Lamkin in 2024. According to the brand, REVL blends Lamkin's engineering with SuperStroke's performance-driven materials and designs. The result: a trio of high-performance grips designed to provide golfers with more control, comfort, and confidence across all playing conditions. Each of the three grip models — REVL Element ($9.99 each), REVL Player ($7.99 each), and REVL Comfort ($8.99 each) — is built using SuperStroke's Genesis+ material, a tacky and durable rubber compound designed to maintain feel in both dry and wet conditions. All three grips also feature the brand's Ultra-Tac 'X' surface pattern, designed to increase contact and promote consistent hand placement throughout the swing. The Element model takes a hybrid approach, using a firmer top section infused with cord for added traction and all-weather security, while the lower hand section is softer and more responsive. The Player grip leans into a traditional rubber build for golfers who prefer a consistent, all-weather feel. The Comfort version uses a modern wrap-style taper to simulate extra tape under the lower hand, helping players apply more even grip pressure. Each grip is stamped with a 'Lamkin 100' badge, a nod to the century-long legacy behind the materials and design principles now under the SuperStroke umbrella. Tour professionals — including Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay and Sungjae Im — are expected to transition into the REVL grips this season.
