MEMPHIS, Tenn. — True Temper Sports, the Number One shaft manufacturer in the world, demonstrated sheer dominance on the pro tour this weekend, winning the 138th Open Championship at Turnberry and the U.S. Bank Championship on the PGA TOUR.  

Playing Dynamic Gold in his irons, the British Open winner earned the coveted Claret Jug after a four-hole playoff to claim his first major championship. Meanwhile in Milwaukee, the U.S. Bank Championship winner wrapped up a playoff victory using Dynamic Gold SL in his irons and the new Project X graphite shaft in his driver. All Top 10 finishers at the British Open Championship and the U.S. Bank Championship played shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports, which once again illustrated that the best players in the world prefer True Temper shafts.

“It was a great weekend for True Temper Sports on both sides of the Atlantic,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “The playoff at the British Open was one of the most dramatic and emotional moments this season, and it was exciting to see Dynamic Gold be a part of winning another major championship. In fact, with both finalists in the four-hole playoff depending on Dynamic Gold in their clubs, we were confident in another victory for True Temper shafts regardless of the outcome.”

Featuring a high-flex, tour weight design, Dynamic Gold steel shafts are the top-selling steel shaft in golf and are preferred by skilled players seeking a low, penetrating ball flight. The new Project X graphite shaft provides optimized launch profiles by matching frequency to specific weight, torque and ball flight for maximum player performance. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while the new graphite Project X shaft is available in woods and hybrids.
