MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After completely dominating the pro tours in 2008, True Temper high performance steel shafts have begun the new 2009 pro seasons right where they left off – winning. True Temper was clearly in the driver’s seat in the Mercedes-Benz Championship, which opened the new PGA TOUR season, as well as the Joburg Open on the European Tour.
All Top Five money winners, including this weekend’s champion, at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Hawaii, played shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper.
Results on the European Tour were equally impressive. Project X and Project X Flighted steel shafts by True Temper Sports delivered first- and second-place finishes, respectively, in the Joburg Open in Johannesburg, South Africa.
“In 2008, pro players trusted True Temper shafts more than any other brand of steel golf shaft in the world,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Our Dynamic Gold and Project X shafts chalk up wins on the PGA, European, Japanese, Nationwide and Champions Tours each and every week, but the excitement we feel with a victory never diminishes. Our shaft technology has earned a reputation for providing real performance benefits and we are very proud to work so closely with tour pros around the world in delivering true results.”
Dynamic Gold steel shafts are the top-selling steel shaft in golf and feature a high-flex, tour weight design that provides skilled players with a low, penetrating ball flight for optimum control and accuracy. Another highly successful shaft design is True Temper’s Project X line of shafts. In addition to the playing characteristics that have made the Project X shaft a tour favorite, the Project X features a dedicated constant taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball and the ball gets up faster and flattens out for a penetrating trajectory. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
