MEMPHIS, Tenn. – True Temper, the Number One shaft manufacturer in golf, won first- and second-place in the Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour.
Playing Project X steel shafts in his irons, the 19-year-old winner of the Dubai Desert Classic shot a final round two-under-par 70 to capture a wire-to-wire victory. The win catapults him to 16th in the Official World Golf Ranking, and makes him the seventh youngest winner in the European Tour’s history. The runner-up, a former Harry Vardon Trophy winner, played True Temper’s Dynamic Gold shafts in his irons to secure his first Top 10 finish of the 2009 season.
“True Temper shafts provide true performance benefits and we are excited the vast majority of tour pros around the world rely on our products to play their best game week after week,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “True Temper has been the overwhelming shaft choice of tour professionals for more than 50 years, and the Dynamic Gold and Project X designs continue to set the industry standards in performance, distance and accuracy.”
A proven winner on the tours around the world, Project X steel shafts feature a constant taper design with a dedicated taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. A longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball which means the ball gets up faster and flattens out for a more penetrating trajectory. The Dynamic Gold shafts feature a high-flex, tour weight design and are the top-selling steel shaft in golf. Dynamic Gold shafts are preferred by many skilled players who benefit from a low, penetrating ball flight. 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.
