Dynamic Gold S200 Vs Dynamic Gold S300

True Temper is known for making high-quality shafts that meet the demands of better players.

No line of golf club shafts exemplifies that reputation better than the Dynamic Gold series. But which Dynamic Gold shaft is right for you? Let’s take a detailed look at the Dynamic Gold S200 and S300 shafts.

Dynamic Gold S200 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold S200 is a tour-weighted steel shaft that comes with a tapered tip option.”

The main difference between the Dynamic Gold S200 and the Dynamic Gold S300 is weight. The Dynamic Gold S200 is a 127 gram shaft that comes in a variety of flexes. For example, you can get the Dynamic Gold S200 shaft in regular, stiff or extra stiff flex while the Dynamic Gold S300 shaft only has the stiff flex option.

The Dynamic Gold S200 has a high bend point which means that it flexes closer to the grip. This achieves a low shot trajectory that will appeal to mid to low handicap players.

Dynamic Gold S300 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold s300 has more weight options than the Dynamic Gold S200 shaft.”

You can get the Dynamic Gold S300 shaft in different weights ranging from 124 to 137 grams. Compared to the Dynamic Gold S200, the S300 shafts have a slightly higher launch angle.

Key Differences

The key differences between these two shafts are weight and flex options.

The Dynamic Gold S200 offers more flex options while the Dynamic Gold S300 offers more weight options. The Dynamic Gold S300 shafts will naturally launch a bit higher than the Dynamic Gold S200’s as well.

Who Should Buy Each

The Dynamic Gold S300 shafts would be great for mid handicappers looking for more controlled launch in their irons.

The Dynamic Gold S200 would be better for faster swing speed players looking for optimal wedge and short iron control.

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.

Dynamic Gold S200 Wedges Review

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.

Dynamic Gold S300 First Impressions

The first thing that an experienced golfer will notice about this shaft is the minimal life.

It doesn’t vary much in terms of kick point whether you give it a full swing or use it on a knockdown shot.

Key Features & Performance

The variable wall design is the most important feature. It’s what gives the Dynamic Gold S300 a high bend point while still imparting consistency across almost all club heads. The performance of this shaft is marked by strong ball flight and low spin.

Dynamic Gold S300 Wedges Review

The Dynamic Gold S300 works amazingly with wedges. So long as you use the right flex for your swing speed, you will get an amazing amount of control and accuracy out of this shaft.

Dynamic Gold S300 Irons Review

Again, amazing control and accuracy. Our only gripe with using the Dynamic Gold S300 with smaller irons is that spin is naturally muted. Of course, you can combat that by pairing the Dynamic Gold S300 with irons that have robust groove design; but it’s still something to take note of.

Dynamic Gold S300 Driver Review

You’re only going to want to use the Dynamic Gold S300 with your driver if you are consistently getting club head speeds of 100+ MPH.

But if you are, you can expect neutral balance and a piercing shot trajectory.

Who Should Buy it?

Pretty much the only group of golfers that the Dynamic Gold S300 is not for is high handicappers.

If your swing speed is under 85 MPH with your irons, you won’t unlock the full potential of the Dynamic Gold S300. However, if you have a faster swing speed and desire low launch and better accuracy, the Dynamic Gold S300 would be a great fit.
