Project X TITAN Black built for speed and stability

admin — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:07:06 +0000

A low-launch, low-spin shaft with a responsive handle and firm tip built for aggressive transitions and high-speed players.

There are only so many ways to build a low-spin driver shaft. Make it heavier. Make it stiffer. Grab a piece of rebar and hope the player swinging it has the strength (and temperament) to handle it.

Project X has chosen to take a slightly more nuanced route with the new Titan Black.

At its core, Titan Black is a low-launch, low-spin graphite shaft designed for players with faster, more-aggressive transitions in their driver swing. That’s the headline, but the more interesting part is how it gets there.

The profile is built around a more flexible handle section that firms progressively through the mid and tip areas. That means you can feel the shaft load during the transition instead of losing it completely, but by the time you get to impact, the mid- and tip sections are stout enough to keep the head from wobbling and adding spin.

Project X also added what it calls Synex Technology, a multi-axial carbon fiber construction that reinforces the outer structure and increases hoop stiffness throughout the handle and midsection. The practical benefit is stability. When you swing hard — and Project X assumes that if you are using Titan Black, that you will — the structure is designed to resist deformation and help keep dispersion tight.

Titan Black, with a retail price of $350, comes in 60-, 70- and 80-gram models in multiple flexes, plus a Tour-Only TX versions that push torque down even further. This is not a “smooth tempo, let’s hit a little cut down the right side” profile. This is for the player who steps on it and wants the ball to launch flat and chase.

So, who is Titan Black for? High-speed players who fight excess spin, see the ball climb too much, or feel like their current shaft can’t keep up with their transition. It is definitely NOT for moderate-speed players who need help launching the ball or golfers who rely on a softer tip to add height and carry. Put Titan Black in the wrong hands and it could feel board-y and cost you distance.

In the right hands, though, it looks like a serious tool for modern speed.

Designed for Zero Distractions: Srixon Unveils ZXi Black Chrome Irons

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – Adding to their acclaimed ZXi line, SRIXON® announces the release of the Limited-Edition ZXi Black Chrome Irons, available in the ZXi7 and ZXi5 models. Designed for golfers who seek both performance and style, the ZXi Black Chrome Irons combine tour-proven precision with a sleek finish that enhances durability and reduces glare at address. The result is a bold, blacked-out aesthetic, all-while delivering the forged feel and control golfers expect from Srixon Irons.

“The modern golfer is looking for more than just performance, they want their equipment to reflect their style and individuality too,” said Casey Shultz, Senior Product Manager at Srixon. “With the Black Chrome Irons, we’re delivering on both fronts. Players get the precision and feel trusted on tour, along with a finish that stands out in the bag.”

Building on the excitement around the ZXi Black Chrome Irons, Srixon is also launching a limited-edition Blackout Collection of soft goods, with several Tour Staff players expected to wear and use pieces from the collection at The Genesis Invitational, bringing a bold new look to one of the PGA TOUR’s signature events. The lineup includes all-black golf bags, headcovers, and blackout headwear.

Tour-Proven Performance

Accumulating eight wins on the PGA TOUR in 2025 alone, the ZXi Iron line has earned its reputation on the professional stages and is trusted in the bags of some of the world’s best players. Now, with the Black Chrome finish, golfers can experience that same precision performance with a fresh edge.

At the heart of Srixon’s ZXi Black Chrome Irons is the brand’s advanced forging process called i-FORGED. Engineered to deliver unparalleled consistency, responsiveness, and control, this formula was developed to strengthen and enhance each Iron, while maintaining a softer feel for superior performance.

For the low-handicap player, the ZXi7 Players Irons feature compact shaping with a thinner topline, narrow sole, shorter blade length, and minimal offset. The result is maximum workability paired with a razor-sharp look at address. The ZXi5 Iron, Srixon’s most potent blend of power and playability, gives golfers the perfect mix of distance, forgiveness, and control, all in an ultra-clean profile.
