The Gold Standard
The new Black Gold introduces a new dimension to the “gold” family. Unlike its constant weight counterpart, Black Gold features a stepless, descending weight design (shafts get lighter as they progress from long iron to short iron lengths) providing custom clubfitters the ability to pinpoint a specific finished club frequency. Utilizing True Temper’s exacting 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.

Frequency Tuned Performance
Black Gold introduces frequency tuned technology. Incorporating True Temper’s proprietary manufacturing process, each of these critical shaft parameters is held to exacting standards. The result is a shaft that combines the trimming flexibility of a stepless design with the unmatched quality and consistency that is the essence of the True Temper “gold” heritage.

The Custom Advantage
R+ or Soft X? The stepless design of Black Gold will provide custom clubfitters the flexibility to perform multiple trim scenarios to achieve specific flex profiles based upon their expert analysis of a player’s swing characteristics and shaft flex needs. The taper tip, discrete length version provides a wide array of stepping options to target multiple sub-flexes within a particular flex range.

Stepless vs. Stepped Shafts
The new Black Gold begins with steps that are later removed through a process called “swaging.” The steps are removed through a series of dies producing the distinct, sleek stepless profile. Because the steps have been removed, the custom clubfitter is provided greater flexibility to customize the flex distribution for various player profiles.
