True Temper Shafts Deliver Triple-Tour Wins
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports once again delivered wins on the PGA, Nationwide and European Tours this weekend and demonstrated their overwhelming popularity among the world’s best players.
On the PGA Tour, Rifle shafts captured the victory at the Byron Nelson Championship, while Dynamic Gold shafts claimed wins at the The Rex Hospital Open on the Nationwide Tour and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth on the European Tour.
Shafts by True Temper were played by 100 percent of the Top 10 finishers at both the PGA and Nationwide events, and led the iron shaft counts with 133 sets in play at the Byron Nelson Championship and 147 sets in play at The Rex Hospital Open. The story was not just leadership in steel, but graphite as well with over 100 pieces of Project X graphite in pro tour play globally.
"It was another great weekend for True Temper Sports with three wins on two continents," says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. "This season we have not only seen our Dynamic Gold and Rifle brands continue to top the leaderboards, but also our new DG Spinner and Project X graphite shafts. With a second place finish for DG Spinner at the Byron Nelson Championship and the amazing number of Project X graphite pieces in play this weekend between the three tours, we expect to see more and more pros with our shafts throughout their bags during the remainder of the 2010 season."
Dynamic Gold is the most popular golf shaft in the world and features a high-flex, tour weight design that is often preferred by better players who want a low, penetrating ball trajectory. DG Spinner shafts will be available in an optimized wedge series and available in two flexes - Wedge-flex for sand and lob wedges and Wedge+-flex for gap and pitching wedges.
True Temper's Rifle shafts are also widely used by the Tour’s top players, and the Rifle design showcases a patented stepless design and are Frequency Matched. The new Project X graphite shaft maximizes a player’s distance and can reduce spin by up to 500 RPM more than other low-spin Tour model competitors. Project X graphite shafts are available in woods and hybrids.
