True Temper opens new shaft-testing facility in Memphis

Published

on

True Temper, best known for its Project X, Dynamic Gold and XP shaft models, has opened new shaft-testing center at Ridgeway Country Club in Memphis, Tenn.

TrueTemperTestCenter

The facility, which True Temper says will play a crucial role in product development process, houses the company’s custom-built Miya 5 Swing Robot that can mimic any players’ swing to provide feedback on about the way different shafts perform for different golfers.

The center is also equipped with Gears Golf, a motion-capture system that uses multiple sensors and eight high-definition, 1.2-megapixel cameras that run at 360 frames per second. The images produced — about 600 per second — will allow company engineers to see more clearly how shafts deflect throughout the downswing, providing the necessary feedback to optimize and improve shaft technologies, according to a press release from True Temper.

    I love TTDG X100s….but age has caught up with me enough to need a tiny bit more flex.
    The s400 shafts are not quite stiff enough which landed me on KBS 130X….
    But a mere mortal like myself can only imagine what a facility like this could offer…heck, maybe they will bring back the monacos….Clarke seemed to love them and who doesn’t want gold shafts 🙂

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
