Introducing Black Gold from True Temper Stepless Profile...Descending Weight...Frequency Tuned.
The new Black Gold introduces a new dimension to True Temper's “gold” family. Complimenting Dynamic Gold, its constant weight counterpart, Black Gold features a stepless, descending weight design providing custom clubfitters the ability to pinpoint a specific finished club frequency. Utilizing True Temper’s precise manufacturing processes, the consistency of the raw blank is held to within +/- 1.5 grams and the raw frequency is controlled to within +/- 2 cycles per minute. The end result is the most consistent stepless iron shaft on the market today.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Memphis, TN (PRWEB) July 21, 2005 -- True Temper
is proud to welcome a new member to its “gold” family of products. Complimenting
Dynamic Gold®, its constant weight counterpart, the new Black Gold® features a
stepless, descending weight design meaning that the shafts get progressively
lighter from long iron to short iron lengths. Black Gold features the same
tour-proven ball flight of Dynamic Gold while offering a unique feel due to its
descending weight properties. Its stepless profile also contributes to its
distinct feel at impact in addition to providing custom clubfitters the ability
to pinpoint a specific finished club frequency.
“Dynamic Gold is
constant weight, meaning that the 3-iron shaft weighs the same as the 8–iron
shaft, says Scott Hennessy, President / CEO. “While Dynamic Gold continues to be
the overwhelming choice of professionals and top amateurs, there is a segment of
players who prefer descending weight shafts because of their distinctive feel as
the clubs progress into the shorter irons.” He continues, “Our goal with Black
Gold was to produce the best shaft possible for this player segment.”
Utilizing True Temper’s proprietary manufacturing processes, Black
Gold’s critical shaft parameters are held to exacting standards (consistency of
the raw blank is held to within +/- 1.5 grams and the raw frequency is
controlled to within +/- 2 cycles per minute) resulting in a “frequency tuned”
product that combines the trimming flexibility of a stepless design with the
unmatched quality and consistency that is the essence of True Temper’s “gold”
heritage.
“Frequency is just one small dimension of the overall club
system,” states Graeme Horwood, Vice President of Engineering / R & D. “With
Black Gold, we not only focus on finished shaft frequency, but also weight, wall
thickness, balance point and the consistent taper rate of the shaft from butt to
tip. This attention to detail produces what we call a ‘frequency tuned’ set of
iron shafts with consistent feel and performance shot after shot and round after
round.”
“The initiative with Black Gold was to produce a stepless shaft
that not only had incredible playing characteristics but unmatched consistency
versus anything currently in the stepless category,” continues Hennessy. “It is
our precise manufacturing process that has established True Temper’s gold series
of shafts as the very best available and will position Black Gold as the most
consistent stepless, frequency tuned shaft in the game today.”
Black Gold
is available in both tapered and parallel versions in R, S and X flexes. Its
satin nickel finish not only reduces glare but gives it a distinctive, sleek
appearance. The shaft is currently a tour only product, but will be available
through all major club manufacturers and component distributors in early
September 2005. Additional information is available at www.ttblackgold.com or www.truetemper.com.

manufacturer of golf shafts in the world and is consistently the number one
