TRUE TEMPER ANNOUNCES TX-90™—
THE LIGHTEST STEEL SHAFT IN THE WORLD!
Extreme Distance. Extreme Power. Extreme Accuracy. Extreme Performance.

Memphis TN - January 15, 2002 - Taking steel golf shaft technology to the “Xtreme”, True Temper has combined a revolutionary new superlite alloy with a unique Speed-Step™ design to create the new TX-90, the lightest steel shaft ever! “The lightweight properties of TX-90 make it lighter than many graphite shafts allowing golfers to swing the club faster and hit longer shots without compromising shot consistency,” says Scott Hennessy, President / CEO of True Temper.
 
Achieving trimmed weights below 90 grams (over 30% lighter than traditional steel shafts), TX-90 generates increased clubhead speed making it the perfect solution for current graphite shaft users searching for improved consistency as well as any golfer seeking a lighter alternative to traditional steel shafts. “True Temper has always focused on pushing the technology envelope to develop products that offer distinct benefits to golfers of all skill levels,” states Hennessy. “This is just another example of our strong commitment to research & development.”
 
TX-90, available in A, R, and S flexes in both wood and iron shafts (tapered & parallel tip), can be found in all of the major OEM custom programs as well as component distributors. A significant percentage of True Temper’s 2002 advertising campaign will be dedicated to this revolutionary new product. Additional information is available at www.truetemper.com.
