Mike Stevens, Director of Sales & Marketing of Mitchell® Golf Equipment Company announced today the addition of a new training school to the schedule of Mitchell® Golf Equipment Institute in Orlando, Florida at its Orange County National Golf Resort campus.
Mitchell® Golf Equipment Institute is teaming with True Temper Sports® to offer the True Temper® "Gold Certified" Shaft Performance Fitting Program. For the past 25 years Dynamic Gold® has been the benchmark for True Temper®. The recently introduced Black Gold® frequency tunedâ?¢ shaft adds a new dimension to their "gold" family.
Chad Hall, Director of Marketing for True Temper® states, "Mitchell® Golf is an industry leader in professional club building equipment and training. It’s a natural fit for True Temper® to partner with Mitchell® Golf Equipment Institute to implement such a unique program. True Temper’s ‘Gold Certified’ Shaft Performance Fitting Program provides an all-encompassing education on True Temper’s manufacturing and testing philosophy in addition to developing experts with regards to the intricacies of frequency tuningâ?¢ our new Black Gold® shaft."
True Temper’s proprietary manufacturing process holds each Black Gold® shaft to exacting standards of weight, balance point, wall thickness and shaft diameter. The Black Gold® shaft has a stepless descending weight design that provides custom club fitters with the ability to customize the flex distribution for various player profiles with multiple sub-flexes within a particular flex range.
"The frequency matching of shafts has been the standard method for identifying a specific flex across a set of irons for years," states Mike Stevens. "The new Black Gold® introduces ‘frequency tuningâ?¢’ by incorporating consistent weight, balance point and pinpoint shaft geometry into the equation."
The "Gold Certified" Shaft Performance Fitting Program is an extensive 3-day program highlighting True Temper’s "gold" product designs, manufacturing philosophy, the frequency tuningâ?¢ process, hands on building of frequency tuned clubs and a written exam. Classes begin in January following the PGA Merchandise Show. Paul Bessler, PGA Professional with 32 years of professional experience is the class instructor.
"The flex variations from a 43.5-inch Black Gold® raw shaft give custom club fitters many options," states Paul Bessler. "These options will be thoroughly explained and taught with hands-on experience during our certification process. Each graduate of this school will pass a written exam putting even more importance on our ‘Black Gold Certified’ frequency tuningâ?¢ program for those industry professionals wanting to enhance their shaft performance fitting skills with this unique new product."
Cost of the 3-day school is $499.00. Tuition includes all supplies and equipment in addition to promotional / support materials provided by True Temper®. For schedule and other information contact Mike Stevens at 800-437-1314, ext. 116 or mike@mitchellgolf.com.
