Why? Because these are highly refined shafts that work for almost all skill levels.

The Dynamic Gold series is broken up into different flex categorizations. One of the higher flex options in the Dynamic Gold series is the S200 line. Even within the Dynamic Gold S200 line, there are several flexes to choose from.

This can be confusing for many inexperienced golfers. In reality, your best bet is to simply go in for a professional fitting. However, it never hurts to do your research first. So in the following review, we will be taking a close look at the Dynamic Gold S200 shaft specifically. Will this be your next weapon of choice? Let’s find out!

Dynamic Gold S200 Overview

The Dynamic Gold S200 is a tour-weighted steel shaft. None of the length versions exceed what is tournament legal (46 inches).

The Dynamic Gold S200 features a high bend point and a relatively stiff tip.

This allows for maximum control over the club head. Indeed, you don’t get much “life” from the Dynamic Gold S200 and everything is as you would expect. Overall the Dynamic Gold S200 is extremely consistent and if you have ever gamed a True Temper shaft before, you know that you can expect uniform performance on virtually every swing.

The great thing about the Dynamic Gold S200 is that you can expect the same kick point, response, control and flex whether you are taking a full swing with your wood or a knockdown shot with your wedges.

Why is Dynamic Gold So Popular?

One of the reasons this series of shafts is so popular is because they are incredibly consistent.

In fact, True Temper is known for making incredibly consistent shafts that incorporate innovative technology like a variable wall design. Another reason for their popularity is that these shafts can meet the needs of a wide array of players, which is why you see them on tour and at your local pro shop.

How Does the Dynamic Gold S200 Perform?

The performance hallmark of the Dynamic Gold S200 shaft is the low, penetrating launch it generates. If you are looking for more distance between shots, the Dynamic Gold S200 will likely be a good fit for you.

The Dynamic Gold S200 also has a high kick (or bend) point which means that the shaft bows closer to the grip than to the middle of the shaft or to the club head. This results in a low launch that is preferred by players with faster swing speeds.

The Dynamic Gold S200 shafts are also marked as being slightly lighter than the Dynamic Gold S300 and Dynamic Gold S400 shafts.

What Flexes Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

The Dynamic Gold S200 shaft is available in regular, stiff and extra stiff flexes.

Even the regular version of this shaft will only be suitable if you’re swinging your irons at about 85 MPH. The stiff will likely be a better fit if your swing speed is in the 90’s and the extra stiff will probably only be fitted with players swinging irons 100+ MPH.

What Weights Are Available? What Swing Speeds Do They Suit?

The True Temper Dynamic Gold S200 shaft is only available in 127 gram versions.

You can move up a class if you want a more substantial shaft as the Dynamic Gold S300 comes in 130 gram versions. The Dynamic Gold S200 however, will help slower swing speed players get their club head speed up – so long as you are using the right flex and a moderately light club head.

Why is it So Good?

One of the best things about the Dynamic Gold S200 specifically is that it comes in more flex options than the Dynamic Gold S300.

You get less weight options; but the different flexes will benefit more kinds of players. If you are an experienced golfer, the Dynamic Gold S200 will endear itself to you because it will help you increase your iron accuracy – especially with your long irons.

Dynamic Gold S200 First Impressions

The first thing our testers noticed about the Dynamic Gold S200 shaft was the high kick point. It’s hard not to notice it because these shafts produce a naturally low launch. They also have a surprisingly soft feel.

Key Features & Performance

One of the key features of the Dynamic Gold S200 is the tapered tip frequency which will allow your fitter to pair the shaft with your club head for increased control. The stiff tip design is great for all your clubs; but most especially your wedges and scoring irons.

The stiff tip gives you more control over the club head. In the wedges, this meant better spin consistency and feel.

Dynamic Gold S200 Irons Review

The Dynamic Gold S200 shaft feels most at home with irons. You get great distance from your long irons and excellent control from your short irons. Launch will naturally be a bit low in your short irons so try to pair the Dynamic Gold S200 with a good spinning head.

Dynamic Gold S200 Driver Review

Better players seeking more distance will be able to use the Dynamic Gold S200 on their driver. If you consistently reach driver club head speeds exceeding 100 MPH, the Dynamic Gold S200 is definitely an option.
