Dynamic Gold X100 Vs Dynamic Gold S300

You have probably heard that True Temper Dynamic Gold shafts are among the best in the industry.

But unless you know what makes them so favorable, you are likely to choose the wrong one. Of course, a fitting is always ideal. But if you can’t get a fitting, we have the next best thing for you: a hands on comparison of the Dynamic Gold X100 and Dynamic Gold S300 shafts.

Dynamic Gold X100 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold X100 is one of the Tour Issue shafts in the Dynamic Gold series.”

This is a tour-weighted steel shaft that gives better players the accuracy and distance they need. It comes as a 130 gram shaft in extra stiff flex. It’s actually a really great choice if your shot necessitates lightweight tempered with high-strength. Spin and ball flight are kept low with this shaft.

Dynamic Gold S300 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold S300 is probably the most versatile shaft in the Dynamic Gold line.”

It comes in a variety of weights ranging from 124 to 137 grams. However, it should be noted that the weight increments go up and down by two grams. The S300 is a regular flex shaft so mid to low handicappers will be able to dial in their preferred weight and use this shaft effectively with their irons.

Key Differences

The main difference is that you get more weight options with the S300 shaft and that the Dynamic Gold X100 is an extra stiff shaft. However, both shafts have a high kick point.

Who Should Buy Each?

If you have a moderate to fast swing speed, you would do well with the Dynamic Gold S300.

The Dynamic Gold X100 is really reserved for scratch players who need more strength to accommodate their fast club head speeds.

Dynamic Gold X100 First Impressions

We actually thought the Dynamic Gold X100 was lighter than 130 grams. It doesn’t feel much heavier than other Dynamic Gold shafts we’ve tested; but then again, none of us are hypersensitive players.

Key Features & Performance

The strength of this shaft is really outstanding. It imparts excellent flight control and stability to the player.

Dynamic Gold X100 Wedges Review

The Dynamic Gold X100 is ideal for wedges. Your ball will never balloon out of control and flight is highly controllable.

Dynamic Gold X100 Irons Review

For long irons, the Dynamic Gold X100 will add distance to your shots. On short approaches, you will get the spin control you need.

Dynamic Gold X100 Driver Review

With a driver, the Dynamic Gold X100 will surely rattle even better players because of the weight and stiffness.

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.
