True Temper's new "AMT" Dynamic Gold iron shafts

Update: GolfWRX Front Page Story (2/19/15) -- http://www.golfwrx.com/281885/spotted-true-temper-dynamic-gold-amt-shaft/

The new shafts drop down in weight 3 grams from the 3 iron down to where the wedge shaft will be the same weight as the original DG shafts.

The thinking is a player will have a

70+ gram driver shaft

80-90+ gram fairway wood shaft

100+ gram hybrid shaft

and then have his TT DG irons in the 126-130 gram zone. This new shaft has the long irons in the 110 gram zone (don't quote me cuz I could be a little off) which will make them easy to launch a little higher without getting too spinny and then dropping down to where the wedge will be 126-130

Adjustable Mass Technology?

Amazing Meat Turnip?

So basically a flighted ascending weight dynamic gold?

If so that sounds perfect to me

No, they were quick to say not a flighted shaft.

Yes

Any relation to the older Pings AWT shafts?

Sounds as though it's more to match up to MOI matching to get the dynamic loads to feel consistent across all irons in the swing. This should be a really good thing for those that are into MOI matching when fitting clubs through the set.

interesting. sounds similar to AWT from ping. Of course, the ZZ65 came out way before the DGSL line, and by all reports are very similar. Wonder how that partnership works w/ releasing new tech into the main stream TT line.

not similar to the current DG Pro's ? Or will these replace those?

Ok they say its not flighted but that the lighter long irons will be easier to launch higher.

Am I missing something here?

p.s. Greg, thanks for all the great pics and all your hard work out there ?

I'm sure these will be very popular with club builders if they make it to retail, the lighter weight long irons should make it easier to MOI match and keep the swig weight closer to each other throught the set. I'm really intered in these I think these will be in my irons if they make it to PFC dealers. They only thing I did like about the dg pro was the lighter weight short irons.

Extremely saddened to hear that AMT did not mean Amazing Meat Turnip. They really missed a opportunity to get a trend going with shafts named after vegetables.

Greg - any word on when these come to retail?

The "gold" label means that TT put each shaft on to a scale to see how much each weighs (sorted by weight, which, with volume, one could do oneself).
For that service they charge more $$$ (understandably).
This new AMT weight sorting (a sub category of weight sorting) presumably comes with a price?

The new shafts drop down in weight 3-4 grams from the 3 iron down to where the wedge shaft will be the same weight as the original DG shafts.

Does this need a rewording, or is it just me? Seems to me that the shafts "drop down" in weight 3-4 grams from the PW, which has same weight as old DG PW shaft, to the 3 iron.

LOL....gotta love the gimmick and gismos...not to be a stealth troll on this subject..i
just can't stop laughing...and by the answers that I see here I think lots of people are thinking or reacting the same way...

Ascending mass technology ??

descenting or is it ascending weights?
...flighted but not flighted...
I can just imagine the PR staff trying to spin this one...
like Ping AWT but not like AWT's
similar yet different...
my brain hurts with all the oximorons...
sorry I will shut up now!

Yes
[/quote] Adjustable or ascending ?

These sound great, loved my S400 but they were definitely too heavy in the longer clubs.

Hopefully these aren't crazy pricey as the theory sounds new, not the technology.

How does that affect swing weighting?

A little concerned about that Tour Issue label. Will they stay that way and only offer S400 and X100 like the other DG TIs, or are these coming to retail?

Ascending weight shafts allow the builder to achieve Swing weight and Moment of Inertia matching without needing to add/remove head weight and also keep traditional 0.5 inch length increments. All good really.
I see a set of S400s in my future!!!

Well I've heard lots of people say they should develop a slightly lighter weight x100 and s400. Maybe this is it.

These could be the bomb for me. I love S400 TI's in my wedges, but they are just too heavy in the long irons for me.

I'll have to try these.

[/quote] The other TI's you are referring to are available for custom orders by most if not all major OEM's. When these release, I suspect they will be available in a similar fashion.

[/quote] Why would you want them to be "crazy pricey" ? Not meaning to offend, just curious.

If anyone get word where/when I can order a set please let us know. These sound absolutley fantastic.

Seven- I think he meant to type [u]aren't [/u]

Oops. "Aren't". Typo.
Corrected in original post.
Thanks Ladahl.

I'm not sure what you're saying. DG TIs are easy to get. What I'm wondering is if they'll make them in S300s. Are you saying you can get TI S300s from all major OEMs? I've only seen a few sets, and they were all made for Luke Donald.
