Temper Black Gold Frequency Shaft Technology Frequency Tuned shafts provide the closest possible performance specification by matching shaft flex through the whole set using state of the art measurement to ensure every shaft is perfectly in tune with its partner. Measurement is calculated in cycles per minute (cpm) with an equal number of cpm’s (4) between each club in the set and 10 cpm’s between each flex, i.e., R to S etc. Simply explained! How hard would it be to play a piano that is out of tune! Well a set of irons with out of tune shaft frequency is just as difficult and will rely on player correction during the swing to make adjustments for the varying flex changes. Aerotech ‘Hoop Wind’ Shafts Hi-technology shafts power the Viper XT range. The famous Aerotech “Hoop Wind” graphite shaft is fitted as standard and through its longitudinal axis graphite layer manufacturing process it is able to maintains the shafts round profile during play which eliminates unwanted oscillation of the head during the swing. To ensure the best and most consistent performance the shaft is finally PUREd before assembly.
Every PUREd Shaft comes with it own unique “Certified PUREd” number.
Douglas Poole Managing Director Snake Eyes Custom & Golfsmith Europe
SST PUREd Shafts PUREd Shafts are used by more than two-thirds of PGA Tour Players who need to make sure their golf clubs perform consistently round after round and with over $60 million in wins in 2006, the high technology is here to stay. Using computerised analysis, every PUREd shaft goes through over 2,500 electronic calculations to find a shafts most perfect plane. The perfect plane gives the shaft most stable orientation when fitted to the head and ensures the shaft performs to the maximum of the manufacturers specification. When fitted in the perfect orientation the shaft becomes less susceptible to twisting and bending and gives more on centre hits, up to 44% more - the biggest loss of distance is off-centre hits.
Aldila NV PUREd Wood Technology Aldila NV PUREd Graphite Shafts drive the Viper Tour Metals. Aldila NV uses Micro Laminate Technology, this features a special 20 layers of graphite fibre in its construction, which makes it perfect for the latest technology steel heads. Every shaft is hand PUREd by experienced staff before assembly in the Snake Eyes Custom workshop and supplied with a unique Certificate guaranteeing your personal shaft has been PUREd.
The SST PURE® Process: l T ests each shaft on a state-of-the-art computerised shaft analysis system l P recisely pinpoints the most consistent orientation of each golf shaft l C harts the shaft’s pre- and post-PUREing oscillation patterns l G uarantees that your clubs will feel more solid and play more consistently.
The charts indicate the shaft’s oscillation and other properties, both before and after alignment.

The lie angle of the club is crucial to accuracy. A club that is too upright will normally produce shots to the left while a club that is too flat will produce shots to the right. The correct lie of the club for each player can only be determined by dynamic testing. Gauging the lie of the club at address is both irrelevant and misleading.

The Grip As your only point of contact with the club is the grip, it is clearly a very important custom factor. Grip size and type make a considerable impact on your swing, so firstly check size, it’s not a fact that large hands need oversize grips etc., test for comfort, feel and control using our grip size samples before deciding on your custom options.

Viper XT Ti Driver The XT’s stylish design offers a whole list of technical benefits making it a leader in performance. Its bullet shape and contoured crown enables a deep centre of gravity which results in higher moment of inertia than traditional shaped drivers, whilst the HRT face (Hyper Rib Technology) which is also CNC milled gives consistent fast ball speeds at impact across its entire hitting surface resulting in maximum distance. The Viper XT features a stepped sole design and has an interchangeable rear weight located at the very back of the driver’s sole and these combined increase launch angle without creating excessive spin. Final customisation to ball flight can be made using different weights which will change launch angle but not spin. The Viper XT fairways complete the range coming in 3 and 5 metals and feature interchangeable rear weighting and matching shaft technology. Available - 9.5*, 10.5*, 11.5* & 14* - LH 10.5* & 14*, Shaft flexes A,R & S, Fairways Metals 3 & 5

Viper XT High MOI Irons
There are plenty of design and technology stories for this easy play-maximum distance iron. Firstly the super high Moment of Inertia head weighting helps stop head twisting throughout the swing ensuring greater accuracy. Combine this with the ultrathin S42 high strength steel face which is plasma welded to the deep cavity body and you have the most accurate and powerful club possible. However, we wanted to improve performance of the Viper XT range to the max so we added even more technology by using the ultimate shaft technology, a hand PUREd shaft. Available in a FEMCO lightweight steel or Hoop Wind Aerotech graphite, all shafts are hand PUREd before assembly for the ultimate in technology benefits which gives maximum on centre hits. A PUREd shaft improves on centre hits by up to 44%. Available - 3 to SW (Set sold 4 to SW) Shaft flexes A,R & S – Full customisation available.

675B, C & XC MOI Matched Premium Forged Irons The 675 range sets new standards in quality forged irons. The Moment of Inertia (MOI) weight matched heads are forged from billets of 1035 carbon steel that goes through 5 forging dies to align the grain structure. They come in three options targeted to fit every golfers requirement, B – Blade – a clean muscle-back design, C – Cavity – forged excellence, both combine with a thin top-line and bevelled tour grind sole that keeps it’s styling traditional, whilst giving an amazingly forgiving performance. The XC – extra cavity - provides the experienced golfing connoisseur with all the benefits of playing a forged blade, but with the playablity of an oversized head design. This makes the 675 range the most forgiving MOI forged iron sets possible and is due to the unique 5-step forging die process, gives them, great feel, consistent distance control and flag seeking accuracy. True Temper’s Black Gold Frequency Tuned shafts are selected for the 675 range, these maximise on the MOI head design. Using Frequency Tuned shafts tightens the flex balance between each iron in the set and really does have a major effect on ball striking consistency. 675 Forged models are available 3 to PW.

685BX Wedge Range
The new Snake Eyes 685BX wedge range are fluid forged using a soft 8620 carbon steel that gives the ultimate in feel and distance control. The forging process puts the heads through an investment casting which then undergoes an 800 ton force forging process ensuring the highest molecular compaction of any form forging in the industry. The tour-influenced grind of the soles takes material from both the heel and toe of the wedge giving it excellent versatility for shot making under a variety of turf and sand conditions. The faces are finely CNC milled of maximum spin across the entire impact surface and completed with CNC grooves that are the maximum volume dimensions allowable by the USGA and R&A, for outstanding spin control around the greens. Available – Chrome R/H – 52/08*, 54/10*, 56/14*, 58/10*, 60/8*, 64/8* Chrome L/H – 52/08*, 56/14*, 60/08* Black R/H – 52/08*, 54/10*, 56/14*, 58/10*, 60/08*

Tour Platinum Putters The New Tour Platinum is a range of 4 high technology putters for 2009. There are four different body styles with three neck options ensuring you can select the putter head that is right for your game. The putter faces are surface milled over a soft 305 stainless steel head which is bendable for customisation. All putters feature a A.S.P face milled pattern which minimises backspin on the ball for a more stable roll upon impact. These unique milling patterns feature a series of semi-circular cuts (scales) which are situated in a 44* upward circle. The width of each scale is 4mm, compared to the average ball dimple of 5mm and this design ensures the scale catches the ball’s surface regardless of where the contact point occurs on the ball. This gives a quicker over-spin and less bouncing and skidding resulting in a truer roll and more holed putts.

Totally unique to the Tour Platinum’s is the Static Frequency Filter shaft. Designed from a combination of graphite and steel this shaft puts the feel exactly where you need it “in the hands”.
