TWO TOP TEN FINISHES FOR BLACK GOLD® AS TRUE TEMPER® WINS AGAIN

Memphis, TN …The hottest new iron shaft on tour lived up to its billing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am this weekend. In only its first week on tour, True Temper's Black Gold has already made its mark on the world of professional golf, trusted by 2 of the top 10 finishers (T5 & T7). The new Black Gold ® combines Frequency Tuned ™ technology with the company’s proprietary Grip to Tip ™ taper profile to produce the most consistent stepless iron shaft in the game today with superior energy transfer. Black Gold ® is the first shaft ever introduced to combine pinpoint frequency specification with superior control of shaft weight, balance point, wall thickness and taper rate.

True Temper iron shafts were found in the bags of an impressive 8 of the top 10 finishers. In addition to being in the bag of the Champion, the company’s flagship, Dynamic Gold, was once again the most trusted shaft on tour by a 4-to-1 margin over the nearest competitor. This week’s win marks the 4 th consecutive victory on the PGA Tour for Dynamic Gold, extending its dominant reign as the winningest shaft in the history of professional golf.

“It’s great to see such resounding results in Black Gold’s first week in play on tour,” states Chad Hall, Director of Marketing. “We are incredibly excited about the opportunities over the next several weeks to get the shaft in more players’ hands and let them experience the benefits of Frequency Tuned ™ technology.”
