True Temper shafts help new Nationwide Tour champion to title

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- After winning 40 PGA TOUR victories and all four PGA majors this year, it is no surprise that shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper were the shafts of choice of the new Nationwide Tour champion at Daniel Island, S.C. who plays Dynamic Gold shafts in his irons.

In addition to the win, 24 of the top 25 Nationwide Tour winners who "graduated" and earned their 2010 PGA Tour playing privileges this weekend played True Temper shafts.

"True Temper congratulates the top 25 Nationwide Tour players, and we look forward to continuing our relationships with them on the PGA TOUR next year," says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. "True Temper brands are the shafts of choice for the best players at all levels of the game, which was evident in the final field at this weekend's Nationwide Championship. Week after week on tours worldwide, players trust True Temper shafts to deliver winning results."

Dynamic Gold and Project X shafts are two True Temper's most popular shaft brands on tours worldwide. Dynamic Gold steel shafts are the top-selling steel shaft in golf and feature a high-flex, tour weight design. Project X shaft is another successful brand which is well-known a providing a dedicated constant taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball and the ball gets up faster and flattens out for a penetrating trajectory. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
