TRUE TEMPER INTRODUCES DYNAMIC GOLD LITE

Orlando, FL - January 29, 1999 - Today True Temper Sports introduced the newest member of its “Gold Series” of shafts, Dynamic Gold Lite®. This revolutionary iron shaft features the performance benefits of Dynamic Gold®, in an ultra lightweight design.

Dynamic Gold Lite weighs in at 109 grams versus Dynamic Gold’s 127 grams. “Through various market research projects, we discovered that many golfers prefer the low ball flight that Dynamic Gold produces,” says Scott Hennessy, President and CEO of True Temper. “Unfortunately, many of those golfers cannot effectively swing a club with a 127 gram shaft. Dynamic Gold Lite now gives golfers an ultra lightweight steel shaft option that provides a lower ball flight and unparalleled consistency.”

Not only is Dynamic Gold Lite the perfect choice for low to mid handicap players looking for a lighter weight shaft, but it is also receiving great reviews from the Tour. “After extensive testing on the PGA Tour, we discovered that many players are looking for a lighter weight shaft,” adds Hennessy. “We are looking forward to a successful tour campaign with this exciting new product.” Dynamic Gold Lite is available with or without SensiCore® vibration damping technology and will be featured in True Temper’s 1999 print media campaign.
