-Hi, I'm here with Greg Cavill of True Temper which is the number one shaft in all of golf. -Definitely. -Greg, what does that mean? How do you guys become the number one? -We-- we don't endorse any of the tour players. We have extremely tight tolerances and we have specific designs to meet every player profile. So, over the years, we've been around now just short of 100 years in total and we've got a number of different designs for every different category. So, with just over time, we just got that reputation for high quality top performance and the best players in the world [unk] probably. -What's the most important thing to consider when you're picking out their correct shaft? -We've always has said that if you want to be playing the-- the softest flex that you can control. You don't want to go too soft but at the same time you can harden your performance if you actually go too stiff. And, as many of you don't want to that. I mean we're not pros. So, if you want to make it as easy as possible. So, we've got a range of product that goes from the lightest steel golf shaft in the world which is GS75 all the way up to Project X or Dynamic Gold range of products. -And, this is Project X. -This is a new offering for Project X in graphite. Last year and the year before, Project X Blue has been extremely popular on all the different tools around the world. -Uh-huh. -And this is our new offering. It's Project X Black. It's being launched with the i20 from PING. It's quite at 10% lighter but just like all Project X. It's all about low spin and high performance. -All right, very cool. Let's test it out. -Okay. -What do you got here? -And then, we've got the PXI which again is 10% lighter, exactly the same spin characteristics as the original Project X for the aggressive player. It's very, very soft in feel, great performance, with low spin, amazing effort. -Okay. -Okay. -Well, thanks so much, Greg. I appreciate it. -It's a pleasure. -Thank you.
