TRUE TEMPER EXPANDS JUNIOR OFFERING

Memphis, TN - September 8, 1997 - With increased emphasis being placed on the expanding junior golf market, True Temper is unveiling two new junior specific products for 1998. The Dynamic Gold J-300 and the TrueLite 500 will both ensure that young golfers get started using the right equipment.

Dynamic Gold J-300 is a “tailored” down version of the leader in high performance steel shafts, Dynamic Gold®. It is the first high performance steel golf shaft designed specifically for junior golfers. With its ultra light weight design (90 grams), the Dynamic Gold J-300 is designed to provide young golfers with the benefits of shaft flexibility and feedback, while still delivering the Dynamic Gold® accuracy and consistency.

Also new, are TrueLite 500 steel irons and graphite woods. TrueLite 500 matches the ideal combination of overall flex and tip flexibility to provide junior golfers with great shaft action and feedback. Iron shafts weigh in at 85 grams while the graphite wood shafts weigh 65 grams. Both Dynamic Gold J-300 and TrueLite 500 shafts have a butt size of .500” and require a junior grip. True Temper President Scott Hennessy notes, “The growing interest of young golfers entering the market is exciting! Our line-up of junior shafts will appeal to junior golfers of all skill levels.”

True Temper Sports is the largest producer of golf shafts in the world and is consistently the number one shaft on the PGA tour. True Temper manufactures a full line of steel and graphite shafts.
