Dynamic Gold AMT Tour White S400

[Jaywh2]

Are the amt tour white weight sorted to the tour issue tolerances of the previous AMT Tour issue before they were changed to tour white (without the word “issue”)

[Howard_Jones]

No, they seems be belong to the Gold sorting standard,...True Temper really wants to make this complicated, for AMT White, the "TOUR" name seems to be a reference to "Tour weight" , not weight sorting.

for 99% of the golfers, you slap a "AMT WHITE sticker on a S400 TI they would never know the difference

@Howard_Jones the chart you showed with all of the options on the first page is really interesting. This is in the same vein of my wanting to find a little more weight than my modus 120s.
I previously had amt s400 ss1x in a set of mp15s. Loved the feel from 7-pw, especially the weight. Just worked with my swing and transition really well. Where I started to see issues was around the 5-6 iron. Getting too much spin with a weak ball flight. I would love to dig into this concept more and find a way to split the difference. The idea of ascending weight intrigues me for sure. Because I love the heavier weight in higher lofted clubs, 130 gr just becomes a little heavy for me around 6i.

If you do your own club making and have a good idea about what you really want, you can build just about anything.

A option i did not mentioned was tip trim of tapers. Many thinks that cant be done but it can, and most hosels has no issues with shafts tipped 3/8" who is very close to "1 shaft stronger" or hard stepped once, so if the long end became a tad loose, you can tip trim them before install if the weight is good as it is. If you think both weight and flex is a issue, you can hard step the long end, that moves them about 4.5 grams up pr shaft, ive used 5 grams in my charts to avoid decimals only.

Many of those who does their own club making also build custom set ups like 3/8" and what we call "poor mans MOI match". That gives long irons that are easier to play in general due to a shorter length progression between clubs and shorter long irons. IF that could be something to consider and you DONT want the large weight drop of 3 grams pr iron, but still want Ascending weight, you can build it yourself based on either X100, or a mix of S400 - S300 and S200 shaft who makes them both Ascending weight with about 1 grams from shaft to shaft instead of 3, and they also become "flighted" with a little help for extra launch in the long end. To make a set like that it demands some weight sorting and tip trim of some of the shafts....

The X100 set up looks like this. its based on a STANDARD length #8 iron, then 3/8" between clubs both ways, and average flex DG X100 Soft stepped once.

Comparable weight as uncut goes from a #3 iron of about 124 to a PW of 131

If S flex range is better, we can make the Ascending wgt slope about 10 grams, with a #3 iron of 121 grams...(No #8 and #4 iron shaft here either, but a #1 and <#2 added to 3-PW)

The issue will always be to get the needed shafts at the uncut weight we want, so you need a seller with a huge inventory who bothers to find what you seek to make this like described here, but if you know such a dealer, you can build AMT sets like this yourself, and to a lower price than AMT White, and get your own personal weight slope and flight pattern.

Adding AMT White stepping options for easier compare

Thank you @Howard_Jones Your knowledge is priceless. Really appreciate the time and effort put into sharing it.
I'm not a club builder nor tinker, but I really want to dive into these options a little.
