Design and Technology
The Dynamic Gold Tour Issue is the most prominent shaft on worldwide tours especially in the wedges of the game’s best players. Players often opt for the heaviest Tour Issue models to increase their control and accuracy in their scoring clubs. The Tour Only tolerance validation allows True Temper to give amateur golfers the ultimate club fitting and building experience.
Until recently, I played the DG Tour Issue shafts in my gap, sand, and lob wedges. I played the S400 line to keep the weight up without creating a wedge shaft that was too stiff. I loved the performance and response I got playing this shaft. I loved the control and stability it gave me, especially when hitting wedge shots that launched low and stopped quickly. Players often overlook blending their wedge shafts into their iron sets and the DG Tour Issue can be a great option to complete that bridge.
As iron shafts are cut to the proper weights for wedges, so much of the shaft is removed that they become too light for high swing speed players. By creating a heavier shaft in two different flexes, True Temper gives players better options for their overall set make up in their Tour Issue line. Players that opt for the extra-stiff version in their irons can reduce flex without reducing the weight and create consistency in their short game. Overall, True Temper delivers average golfers the tour experience with Dynamic Golf Tour Issue and these shafts help club fitters and golfers dial in their exact ball flight preferences.
