What The Pro's Are Saying
"The Players Tour provides a great opportunity to play competitive golf against proven players from both the professional and amateur ranks at first class courses.
With knowledgeable and professional behind the scenes organisation the Tour is already providing strong fields and an excellent spread of the prize purse.
Good luck for the future with what should, on the basis of the first few events, become a strong development tour."
Dave Smith, MEN Open Winner 2007
"The Players Tour is a superbly organised developmental tour I would recommend to golfers who are looking for fierce competition on quality courses.
Both Jon and Richard know what players are looking for in tournaments and go out of their way to accommodate. From yardage planners to physios and most things in between every thing is done in a friendly and first class manner."
Paul Eales former winner on the European Tour
"The Players Tour is a fabulous concept, the standard of golf is high and the ‘behind the scenes’ even higher.
It’s crucial for the development of the tour to be run smoothly, efficiently and at good venues. With those ideals already at the forefront Jon & Richard will create a great opportunity for us all! Good luck"
Andrew Murray former European Open Champion

TRUE TEMPER CONTINUE DOMINATION
True Temper claimed the Buick Open once again. The champion cruised to a final
round of 69 to claim his 69th career victory. Playing with Dynamic Gold X100’s in
his irons the world #1 finished at 20 under par and a three shot victory.
Dynamic Gold dominated the top ten in the event, with 8 players choosing the
shaft in their irons, and the other 4 players choosing Project X. True Temper have
now won 30 of the 33 events played so far on the PGA Tour this year, 17 of which
have been won with Dynamic Gold.
Dynamic Gold steel shafts are the top-selling steel shaft in golf and are preferred
by skilled players seeking a controlled, penetrating ball flight.
True Temper’s Project X shafts are an enormously popular line of shafts which
have earned worldwide acclaim. Project X features a unique variable taper design
with a dedicated taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate
results in more energy transfer to the ball for a faster and flatter 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.
True Temper continues to lead the way on all tours worldwide. Whether it be the
PGA Tour, the European Tour or any other tour, the winners continue to choose
and trust True Temper golf shafts.

dominated the weekend with all Top 10 money positions and 96 percent of the
final field playing shafts by True Temper.
On the European Tour the winner took his victory with Project X in his irons and
wedges. These two wins once again highlight how impressive the True Temper full
line of products really is.

OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP 2009: TRUE TEMPER DOMINATE ON THE LINKS
The 2009 Open Championship was one full of memories. With one of the games
greats dominating right to the end, and two of Britain’s leading talents also
contending. However it was one of golf’s most famous names that helped clinch
the title for the new champion. Dynamic Gold notched up yet another major
victory. Having been the number one steel golf shaft on tour for over 30 years,
the shaft still produces champion after champion in golf’s major events.
True Temper was not only evident in the clubs of the champion, but throughout
the rest of the top ten as well. The top 10 breakdown is as follows:
Dynamic Gold - 7 players
Dynalite Gold - 1 player
Rifle - 1 player
JZ by TT - 1 player
Project X - 1 player
True Temper yet again clearly dominated iron shafts in the top 10. However they
had great usage in woods, with the runner up using Grafalloy in his Hybrids and
the South African who has previously won the Claret Jug using the new PX10A2 in
his 3 wood and Rifle Lite in his 5 wood.
Dynamic Gold still sets the standard in steel golf shafts.

June 2009
After winning the BMW Italian Open even before its public debut, the all-new
graphite Project X Tour Issue shaft prototype claimed multiple Top 10 finishes,
including second-place at the recent St. Jude Classic on the PGA Tour. The
performance of the new graphite Project X shaft has seen such strong interest
from professional players that more than 50 of the shafts were in play on the PGA
and Nationwide Tours last week.
The 12-time winner on the PGA Tour and runner-up at the St. Jude Classic played
the new graphite Project X shaft in his driver and hybrid clubs. Also, the Project X
graphite made up 20 percent of the driver shafts in the Top 10 in its first official
week of launch. The new precision-engineered Project X Tour Issue shaft will be
available for purchase by golfers worldwide later this summer.
Incorporating eight different premium composite materials and five of the most
advanced fibre types in the world, the all-new graphite Project X shafts deliver
superior cross-sectional stability and maintain the designed performance
characteristics throughout the swing for consistent shot patterns. The Project X
driver and hybrid shafts features Zonal Design Theory (ZDT) with three distinct
zones utilizing unique and separate technologies to optimize performance in the
butt, mid and tip sections. In addition, the new graphite Project X shafts provide
optimized launch profiles by matching frequency to specific weight, torque and
ball flight for maximum player performance.
TT DOMINATES ST. JUDE CLASSIC
Rifle shafts took the spotlight and the winner’s check of $1,008,000 at the St.
Jude Classic, which was held at the home of the True Temper headquarters at
TPC Southwind in Memphis. With Rifle shafts in his irons, the St. Jude champion
delivered a superb wire-to-wire victory, by shooting an 18-under 262 to win by
five strokes.
Nine of the Top 10 finishers played True Temper products, including Dynamic
Gold and Project X iron shafts and the new graphite Project X driver and hybrid
shafts. In addition, 146 of the 156 players at the St. Jude Classic had True
Temper in their bags, with the closest competitor having only 4 sets of shafts in
play.
Project X, Rifle and Dynamic Gold shafts are the most popular steel shafts on the
professional tours, and they have accounted for more tours victories this season
than all other shaft brands combined.
Project X shafts feature a unique variable taper design with a dedicated taper rate
for each shaft in the set. Rifle shafts are built through True Temper’s exclusive
Frequency Matching process which uses electronic calibration to ensure identical
shaft flex from club to club. These stepless steel shafts are available in tapered
and parallel irons. Dynamic Gold shafts feature a high-flex, tour weight design
that provides skilled players with a low, penetrating ball flight for optimum control
and accuracy. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and
parallel woods.

three shafts in play.

selling steel shaft in golf and are preferred by skilled players seeking a controlled,
penetrating ball flight. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel
irons and parallel woods.

material ever created and delivering performance benefits of steel and graphite.

TRUE TEMPER CONTINUE INTO ’09 ON TOP
After dominating in 2008, True Temper has begun the 2009 season where they left off - winning. The South African phase of the European Tour saw True Temper have a clean sweep in the winner’s circle. Project X and Project X Flighted shafts delivered first and second-place finishes, respectively, in the Joburg Open, whilst the previous two events, the South African Open and Alfred Dunhill Championship claimed top spots with Precision Rifle. True Temper shafts chalk up wins on the PGA, European, Japanese, Nationwide and Champions Tours each and every week. In addition to the playing characteristics that have made the Project X shaft a tour favourite, the Project X features 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. Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
The amazing benefits of Rifle are possible through a patented internal and external Rifle design that transfers energy more efficiently than any other shaft on the market. It's this energy transfer that gives Rifle its solid feel at impact with less shock and vibration.
