True Temper designs and manufactures the best golf shafts in the world and is trusted by more professional golfers than all other shaft companies combined—making True Temper the #1 shaft in golf. I hit the Modus 3 Tour 105 and 120 vs the TT Elevate 95 and mtex22 is spot on with his description - the Modus is definitely a stiffer feel. First, all The True Temper Elevate iron shafts come as a followup to the ongoing quest of club and ball technologies to reduce spin in the pursuit of more distance. That said, I have been playing the last two weeks with the Apex 19's (trial set of clubs) with the TT Elevate 95 in Stiff and have been hitting them laser straight. While we did not do a comparison to the KBS C-Taper Lite and Nippon 950 GH, I will share my thoughts on where those two shafts fit with the XP 105, XP 115 and Tour 105. The hot new shafts we saw coming on the scene in 2020 include the heavier steel OBAN CT-125 and mid-weight steel True Temper ELEVATE 105. Both of these new shafts offer their proprietary Vibration Suppression System (VSS) for golfers looking for relief from tendonitis or arthritis and do not want to switch to graphite shafts. True Temper Elevate Tour Shaft Review By DanSueltz November 1st, 2018 True Temper is complementing its lighter weight steel shaft offerings with a 115 gram steel shaft that offers a mid to mid-high ball flight and mid spin for better stopping action on the green.
What is unique here is that we have seen the ultralite steel shafts (under 100 grams) almost disappear from the OEM and aftermarket categories as the performance has not been that great. We reviewed the True Temper 105 and 115 shafts against the KBS Tour 105. Going lighter can help boost swing speed, however, True Temper wanted to fix launch at the same time. The new part comes in at 121 grams, roughly nine grams lighter than the popular Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 part. True Temper has added two new light weight steel shafts to their iron shaft product offerings. The solution is True Temper's Elevate shaft.
