True Temper Elevate 85 Iron Shafts
True Temper Elevate 85 Iron Shafts
Elevate Your Iron Flight
True Temper Elevate 85 is engineered for golfers who want to launch their irons higher and generate additional carry distance. Its lightweight design can help create clubhead speed more efficiently while retaining the familiar feel and feedback of a steel shaft.
Elevate 85 is a strong option for players who struggle to achieve useful peak height, want softer-landing approach shots or find traditional heavyweight steel shafts difficult to swing consistently throughout the round.
Higher Launch
Designed to help golfers create a higher peak trajectory and a more playable iron flight.
Increased Carry
Additional launch and peak height can help produce more carry distance and better stopping angles.
Easier Speed
The lightweight design helps golfers generate clubhead speed more efficiently than with traditional heavy steel shafts.
Steel Stability
Maintains the stability and responsive feedback golfers expect from a quality steel iron shaft.
