Is True Temper steel or graphite?

True Temper, long known as a high-quality maker of steel iron shafts, has introduced a new iron shaft, but this is made from graphite—the Project X Catalyst.

What iron shaft weight should I use?

In general, golfers with slower swing speed and tempo can and should play a lighter shaft. Golfers with very fast speeds and tempo should play heavier shafts. Driver shafts typically weigh 55-60 grams for men and 45-50 grams for ladies. Iron shafts can be as light as 55 grams in graphite, and 130 grams in steel.

Do graphite irons go further?

The graphite shafts are more forgiving and do not sting when you mishit, and beginner golfers should take advantage of that. Also, the lighter graphite shafts make the irons go farther when hit well, so it is a win-win for golfers in the game improvement section.

Are heavier iron shafts better?

Heavy shafts tend to produce more distance, accuracy, and lower ball trajectory for a golfer with faster swing speeds.

What happens if iron shaft is too light?

A shaft that’s too heavy will cause a “labored golf swing.” A shaft that’s too light will hurt your ability to make solid contact. When you find the right shaft weight, you’ll experience a “high energy swing” with uniform contact.

What is True Temper XP 90?

True Temper XP 90 takes the successful XP series of lightweight, high performance, constant weight iron shafts even lighter. The low balance points provide better swingweight without added headweight in a mid-high launching, great feeling, and very stable package. We all aspire to play inside the ropes, but few ever do.

What is the True Temper XP step pattern?

The True Temper XP uses a dual step pattern. Longer steps near the butt of the shaft, shorter steps closer to the tip. The longer steps. smaller changes in diameter per step, are called speed steps by True Temper. The shorter steps create a quicker loss of stiffness in the shaft as it gets closer to the tip.

What are True Temper XP shafts?

By doing this, True Temper XP shafts deliver unmatched shot repeatability. The True Tempe XP 95 shafts have become standard equipment in such big name irons as Callaway Apex and Titleist.

What is the difference between XP90 and xp95 shafts?

So they call the XP95 shaft by the designation XP90. they are the exact same shafts. same step pattern. same profile. same weight. so unless you purchase titleist, you cannot get shafts that say XP90. Quite confusing. Why can’t they call the one they sell to the public 90 plus or something like that? 90 v 95 is really disingenuous.
