Rifle Shafts Win Timberlake Open


MEMPHIS, Tenn. —True Temper shafts captured another season win at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nev.

 

The 26-year-old champion won the Fall Series event, scoring a birdie on the third hole of a playoff round on Sunday. The victory was his first win on the PGA TOUR and he won playing Rifle shafts in his irons.

 

“This win marks the 39th PGA Tour season victory for True Temper shafts and a clear demonstration of the continued and unparalleled success of the Rifle brand,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Our designers and engineers are dedicated to incorporating true innovation and advanced technologies into every shaft manufactured by True Temper, and Rifle shafts are among the most sophisticated steel shaft designs in the world today.”

 

The stepless design of Rifle shafts reduces the shaft diameter in one smooth, seamless transition that facilitates the transfer of energy more smoothly and provides greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact. Rifle shafts also incorporate advanced Frequency Matching technology that perfectly matches a set of clubs through electronic calibration.
