TRUE TEMPER EXPANDS COMPOSITE PRODUCT LINE
EI-70® Filament Wound headlines 1998 product introductions

Memphis, TN - September 8, 1997 - True Temper announced today the addition of four new composite golf shafts to be introduced at the International Golf Show in Las Vegas. Leading the way is the EI-70® Filament Wound high performance wood shaft. Bill Beatty, Marketing Director for True Temper, maintains that “Technological advancements in the construction of composite golf shafts, namely filament winding, have enabled us to design and manufacturer a more consistent performing graphite golf shaft. The new EI-70® Filament Wound wood shaft will deliver the same high performance features of the original version, while the advanced filament winding process ensures consistent performance from each and every shaft.” EI-70® technology was used by the winners of this year’s British Open and PGA Championship.
The new EI-70® Filament Wound is offered at a 46” raw length to take nearly any club head style to a finished length of 45”. It is available with both a .335” and .350” tip diameter.

Another addition to the filament wound product group is Assailant OSC (oversized core). Like the original Assailant, the OSC version has a mid-flex design which allows for a wide variety of club head types. However the Assailant OSC features an oversized butt design (.865”) which permits the construction of lighter total weight clubs.

Regency completes the list of new composite shafts for 1998. Regency represents True Temper’s most recent developments in high performance, flag wrapped graphite shafts and is designed for golfers of any skill level. It is available in combination flexes and extra long lengths to provide a wide variety of custom fitting options. Regency is also available with the increasingly popular oversize butt profile.
