CLICK HERE TO ASK QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THE CHAT.
The history and the future.
That’s what True Temper’s Chad Hall, director product marketing and global tour operations, said keeps him excited to go to work every day.
The True Temper brand certainly has plenty of history. The company’s Dynamic Gold line of iron shaft, introduced in 1980, is still the gold standard to which all other iron shafts are compared.
On Tuesday, April 3, at 2 p.m. EDT GolfWRX members will have the chance to discuss True Temper’s legendary lines of iron and wood shafts with Hall and True Temper shaft rep Simon Wilson, as well as several new products that Hall and Wilson are excited about.
One of those new products is the Project X line of wood shafts, which debuted last year at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the Old Course at St. Andrews. That week, 72 players decided to put the shafts in play – 61 Project X Blue shafts, and 11 of the lighter weight Project X Black shafts.
Since that time, several players, including PGA Champion Y.E. Yang, 14-time major championship winner Tiger Woods and Jason Dufner have used the Project X PXi iron shaft, a lighter version of the Project X iron shaft that closer mirrors its performance and feel.
“When players try the Dynamic Gold XL [a lighter version of the original Dynamic Gold shaft], they can usually tell the difference right away,” Hall said. “But with the PXi, they don’t immediately notice the difference in feel. But they notice the difference in performance on Trackman.”
Dufner, who finished runner-up at the 2012 PGA Championship, picked up approximately 7 mph in ball speed with the PXi in his 4 iron, a claim Hall said that his company doesn’t advertise but is entirely possible with the PXi.
“In my 11 years at True Temper, I believe it’s the best shaft we’ve ever made,” Hall said. “Pros have told us that they actually hit the shafts too far … In 10 years, I believe that we’ll still be talking about the PXi.”
If the True Temper has a most valuable player on its them, it might be Wilson, who has become a popular figure in the world of golf social media (you can follow him@pgatourshaftrep).
Wilson spends his time before the Masters tournament working with PGA Tour players in the United States, and after that heads to the European Tour, where he has built a stable of players that have come to depend on the performance of Project X shafts – names that include Matteo Manassero and Luke Donald, who won the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship with the Project X Black 7.0 shaft in his driver.
The Project X line has already claimed six PGA Tour wins this season, a number that is sure to grow as the season progresses. Please, join us for the chat, where Hall will be fielding product specific questions, and Wilson will handle questions that deal directly with the tours. No question is too specific. Take dead aim, and fire away.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
