One characteristic Project X pushes with the Catalyst is that it replicates some characteristics of steel shafts. All I had to do was ease up and make a nice easy swing. But you know what? I’m fine with that! The Catalyst was holding me accountable to making a better swing. I would have trouble tracking the club through the swing (remember, it’s a lighter shaft as well), and the release would feel out of sequence. My usual hard hack was not a good mix for the Catalyst. I’m a fairly aggressive swinger (for better or worse), and I had to make an adjustment. The “negative.” I call this the negative, but truth be told, it’s not the shaft’s fault. Well-struck shots are very easy on the hands and it feels like you’re golfing in the clouds! You won’t experience a significant kick at release, but a smooth flex through the ball. (Subject to personal preference of course.) The overall feel is very smooth with a gradual release. If you make a really smooth and easy swing, the Catalyst is great. I would say there are two “types of feel” in the Project X Catalyst. The graphics are minimal, but well balanced and add a nice touch to the aesthetics. While it pains me to say this, the pictures don’t do it justice. The silver finish, while similar to a chrome steel look, is almost liquid-esque. You know, the one that sounds like a slide whistle when your old man sees a cool muscle car from his childhood? That’s the one. My first reaction when opening the box containing these Project X Catalyst shafts was that “whoa this is slick” whistle sound. The Project X Catalyst is designed to replicate a similar response and performance to steel alloys while maintaining benefits of a graphite shaft.Īs much as us “gear guys” on the internet try to pretend “we’re all about the data and performance,” we’re still suckers for sweet looking stuff. Now Project X is making a name for themselves in the graphite iron shaft game and the new Project X Catalyst is their latest offering. In more recent years, Project X has also made a major splash in the graphite wood shaft market by being relied on by some of the top golfers in the game. There’s no question that they are one of the best in the business.
Project X has long been known for their highly-acclaimed steel iron shaft offerings that are widely played all over the world.
