I have a few questions about 2 different shafts. I was wondering if someone could tell me the main differences and good or bad things about these two shafts...
1. True Tempo Dynamic Gold steel Shafts
2. Precision Rifle Steel Shafts

I am wanting some information on these as these will be either of the shafts I use for my current clubs as I have decided to stick with what TM Burner oversized clubs and put different shafts in them and these are the two I will be using...any info good and bad would be great, thanks in advance!!!!

True Temper (not Tempo) are the standard shaft. You really can't go wrong with them, and they're cheaper than Rifles. You're just starting out. I doubt you could tell the difference, even in a few years, between the two. The rifles offer a different "feel" to them. They're both good shafts and a lot of people use 'em both (though, by far, the TTs lead of course, 18:1 or so).

Why are you sticking with the current irons and re-shafting? Re-shafting such old clubs still won't change the lie angle of the clubs, and for $100 more you can get an entirely new set of irons. Last time you mentioned it you said you were getting some end-of-year new irons...

I have decided to stick with what I have and not spend that much more money at this time...I was seriously thinking about getting a whole new set of everything but couldnt talk myself into spending that much money and wouldnt be able to tell the difference in my game for awhile from now. I went to Golf Usa and got fitted and everything and he is going to change the lie and everything with my current irons and get the shafts for $100.00. I thought it would be the best thing for me to do at this time. I hope it works out well for me. The two I can choice for 100.00 is the TT and the Rifles and I was just wondering the differences good or bad but it is great to know they are both really good shafts, that was one concern of mine. Right now I am thinking about the Rifle shafts but again more info regarding both would be great. I have been swaying back and forth but I am sticking with this decision!!!! I just got a Odyssey Dual Force 2 putter yesterday and the Titliest Vokey 54 degree wedge and with the new shafts I am getting monday I hope to have a little better success in 2006!!!

Again more info about the 2 shafts would be great!!!! As I am doing this Monday on my day off

I can only tell you that True Temper Dynamic gold shafts are by far the most widly used shafts in golf. That includes the PGA Tour. I had a set with rifles in them for a time and they were alright but I really preferred the TT.

I think it's been said elsewhere on this forum that this is a good analogy:

Dynamic Gold:Pro V1x::Rifle:Pro V1

My point remains: I'd go with the True Tempers because you don't have enough feel to tell the difference anyway. No need to get into the more exotic stuff yet.

      The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
