Ever since 1965, True Temper Golf Shafts has been growing as a golf shaft manufacturing company. Now, they have become one of the most popular companies in the world. And their golf shafts have become the shaft of choice in the US PGA Tour for over 70 years now. How has this company sustained their market leadership for so long?
Perhaps it is because of their continued dedication to producing and providing the highest quality steel shafts not only in America, but across the globe. Dozens of golfers win tournaments using clubs equipped with these shafts each year. In fact, more professional golfers have won using this golf shaft than any other shaft in the history of golf.
And most of these golfers used the Dynamic Golf shaft by True Temper. The secret to the effectiveness of this shaft lies with its being extremely flexible despite being made of steel. This allows for unparalleled control over the direction of your low-flying shot. This shaft is also available in various makes: HL (High Launch), SL and TI (Tour Issue) versions.
Among these, the Dynamic Gold SL is the most famous. An innovative Superlite Alloy technology allows for improved speed in your golf swing and the further distance of your shot. This was made possible since this shaft is 20% lighter than its original version. Thus, this has become the shaft of choice for casual and professional golfers alike.
That golf shaft sure is pretty light, right? But if you want an ever lighter shaft, this company has developed the lightest steel shaft in the history of the sport—the GS 75. Weighing at a little less than 80 grams, this club will give you the power of a steel shaft with the speed and flexibility of a graphite shaft. A lethal combination, if you ask me.
Keep in mind that this weight is only the average for all the clubs. The weight will get a bit lighter of heavier depending on the length of the shaft. For example, the six iron shaft will be lighter than that of a nine iron or fairway wood. Still the shaft retains the reputation of being the lightest in the market today, for all golf club types and sizes.
If you are interested in buying True Temper shafts then there are many ways by which you can do so. These golf club shafts can be purchased online or in various pro shops across the globe. But it would be better if you can have the shafts custom fitted for you before attaching them to your golf clubs. If you do this, you can be sure that the shafts will be the right height and feel for you.
What you can do is try practice swinging with the various kinds of True Temper shafts available for purchase. Then when you have found the shaft you feel most comfortable with, ask the pro shop personnel or a professional custom fitter to take measurements for the shaft length. And once you have equipped your clubs with True Temper Golf Shafts, you'll be ready to play some great golf.
