Dynamic Gold X7 Vs Dynamic Gold X100

If you are in the market for a tour grade shaft then congratulations – that probably means you are an accomplished player.

But once you reach a certain point in the game, it can be really difficult to select a shaft that can keep up with your swing. To help you make the right choice, we compared the Dynamic Gold X100 and Dynamic Gold X7 shafts.

Dynamic Gold X7 Overview

“Like the Dynamic Gold X100, the X7 is a Tour Issue shaft from True Temper.”

In fact, the Dynamic Gold X7 is the heaviest shaft in the Dynamic Gold line, checking in at 133 grams. When we tested the Dynamic Gold X7, we could also feel that it was the stiffest and strongest shaft in the Dynamic Gold line. It is available in extra stiff and generates a low, penetrating ball flight.

Dynamic Gold X100 Overview

“The Dynamic Gold X100 plays similarly to the X7 but is lighter.”

For most players, the Dynamic Gold X100 will be the perfect low spin, low launch shaft. It comes in extra stiff flex and weighs 130 grams so it’s a nice mix of lightweight design and strength. It has a high bend point and would be great for mid tempo swingers.

Key Differences

The main difference is in the diameter of these shafts. The Dynamic Gold X100 is .600” while the X7 is .610”. It doesn’t sound like much but the X7 greatly improves control when fast swing speed players load and unload the shaft. This will increase distance and accuracy for better players for sure.

Who Should Buy Each?

The Dynamic Gold X7 is really only for scratch players and amateurs with 95+ MPH swing speeds.
