MEMPHIS, TN. – Feb. 16, 2005 – True Temper once again showed why they are the #1 Shaft on Tour with a dominating performance at the National Pro Am at Pebble Beach this weekend. An impressive eight of the top 10 finishers relied on True Temper shafts, with Dynamic Gold leading the way in irons with nearly four times as many shafts in play as the nearest competitor. In addition, Dynamic Gold's unrivaled consistency helped make it the #1 Wood shaft in play as well.

Wasting no time in making waves on the PGA Tour, the new Dynamic Gold SuperLite has already claimed its fourth top-20 finish of this young season. The offspring of a legend, Dynamic Gold SL is being lauded as the first shaft that features the same low-trajectory, ultra-consistent ball flight in a 20% lighter package.

"We continue to be pleased with our success on tour," says Chad Hall, Director of Marketing. "Our iron shaft usage numbers were up 6% to 72% while our nearest competitor slid 5% to 21% of shafts in play. These numbers are particularly impressive given the infrequency with which tour players change iron shafts."

True Temper iron shafts continue to dominate all professional tours averaging over 65 percent usage on the PGA Tour and 75 percent usage on the Champions and Nationwide tours each week. They also win more tournaments each year than all other iron shafts combined.

True Temper Sports is the leading manufacturer of golf shafts in the world and is consistently the number one shaft on all professional tours globally. The Company markets a complete line of shafts under the True Temper and Grafalloy shaft brands, and sells these brands in over thirty countries throughout the world. True Temper Sports employs over 700 people in ten facilities located in the United States, Europe, Japan, China and Australia.
