dunkotime Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Has anyone experimented w/ the True Temper TX Tour shafts? Looks to be a similar shaft to the TX-90, but w/ a different bend profile. Probably more like DGS? Thinking of getting a set to throw in some Pro Combo heads. Wanted to see if anyone has opinions first. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I would also like to hear what people have to say about these shafts . But am going to take a wild guess :laugh: and say nobody here has tried them yet :smile1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipper1966 Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I have played them all year and they have performed ok. They are supposed to produce a lower ball flight vs. the standard TX-90 but I still hit them fairly high. The TX-90s feel more "lively" than the tours.

I think I will give them a shot, so I ordered a set for Pro Combos. Just looking for a little more "stout" from the shaft. Might not be for awhile, but I will follow up w/ my impressions once I get the set done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcap26 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 My Tx tours feel just like the s300 I had in my 300's. ..just lighter. I was hoping I might hit them lower than the s300 sensicore but I hit them just as high if not just a shade higher. Good feeling shaft though.

vpexp Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 I play the TX Tours in X-Flex in my Tourstage TS-202's. I play my irons 3/4" over standard and with these shafts I can get the swingweight down to D3. They are very stable and predictable, great trajectory control. I hit a fairly high ball but these shafts perform very much like the X100's. The TX Tours are the only lightweight I have used that did not high the ball sky high for me. I would highly recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l8braker Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Any updates on the TX Tour's? I'm thinking about trying these out. I've tried Nippons and Rifle TFR's before and like both of those shafts but am looking for a little less muted feel (don't mind some vibration). I've never really liked DG's because they were too heavy and felt a little harsh but I've heard that the TX tours have a smoother feel (a little more vibration dampening than DG) as well a tad lower ballflight than Rifles. Probably try it in a reg (95mph driver ss) to help get the ball up a tad. Thanks for any feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubfitters Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 dunkotime, the TX-Tours are DynamicGolds on a diet. their bend profiles are the same & they'll swingwieght the same (lower balance point). they do FEEL softer @ impact than the DG's. for most players, that'll be a good thing. the TX-90 is the opposite of the TX-Tour. the TX-90 is designed to hit the ball higher. the TX-Tour is an outstanding stick for the player who needs the ballflight of the DG, but w/o the extra heft. over the course of 18-72 holes, that can make a difference. jeff/clubfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to have the exact same ballflight and flex profile as DG except 20g lighter. How does this compare to the TX Tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
