Dynamic Gold S200 Vs Dynamic Gold S400

If you are shopping for steel shafts then you have likely come across the True Temper Dynamic Gold series.

But like many everyday golfers, you probably have some questions about the differences between the different entries in the Dynamic Gold line. To offer some help, we have composed the following comparison overview of the Dynamic Gold S200 and Dynamic Gold S400 shafts.

Dynamic Gold S200 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold S200 is a steel shaft with a firm tip to provide better short iron control.”

The firm tip provides excellent feel and control over the club head. Feedback is also improved. The Dynamic Gold S200 comes in regular, stiff and extra stiff flexes and weighs 127 grams. The bend point is high which means this shaft will naturally produce a low launch angle preferred by better players.

Dynamic Gold S400 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold S400 is part of the Dynamic Gold Tour Issue series of shafts.”

The Dynamic Gold S400 is also only available in 132 gram flex versions. The “Tour Issue” moniker refers to the right weight increments (+/- half a gram) and is intended to give better players tighter control over the weight of their shafts. The S400 also has a firm shaft tip that increases control and accuracy.

Key Differences

The main difference is that the weight increments in the Dynamic Gold S200 model go up or down by two grams while the increments are shrunk down to +/- 0.5 grams in the S400 series. This gives players more control over their iron setups.

Who Should Buy Each?

The Dynamic Gold S200 would be good for low handicap players seeking tight shot dispersion and perhaps more distance with a lower shot trajectory.

The Dynamic Gold S400 would be better for club pros with fast swing speeds.
