![]() The concept of the Load Zone was to create a soft midsection in the shaft. And I have seen some inconsistencies that are hard to believe from the high volume, low cost foundries, but that is another story. These shafts are not necessarily better than the shafts made in the volume production shops, but they are free of the shaft to shaft inconsistencies found in the factory produced product. And very often, when these people are not making protos, they are making the shafts that go to the professional tour vans. ![]() Almost every company has some highly skilled wrappers that make their prototypes. As such, the care taken by the person putting the shaft together is reflected in the quality and consistency of the finished shaft. The general golfing public has access to the shafts that are made in the tour department for the tour players. This is an interesting option now being offered by a few companies. I am told only 60 or 70 can be made in any given day with current staffing. This 2014 composite driver shaft from True Temper, released under the Project X brand, is made in limited numbers in the USA facility in San Diego California. The Project X LZ, or loading zone shaft features a linear soft zone in the middle of the shaft which is visibly reinforced with bias wraps to maintain torsional stability.
