Flex: True Temper XP95 vs AMT Red
One of the first similarities between the XP95 and AMT Red is the flex options. Both offer regular flex and stiff flex. These are quite standard options when it comes to shaft flex. Regular flex is better for those who have average swing speeds (about 90 mph). Stiff flex shafts are better for those who have slightly above average swing speeds.
So regardless of which one you choose, you will be given a decent range of flex options.
Length: True Temper XP95 vs AMT Red
A slight difference between these two shafts is the length. The XP95 ranges from 36.50 inches to 40 inches long, and the AMT Red ranges from 36.5 to 39.5 inches long. So the XP95 is about .5 inches longer than the AMT Red. This half an inch will not likely make a difference in performance, so it is safe to say that they offer practically the same length options.
For those that don’t know, the USGA has a 46 inch limit on golf shafts. If a golf shaft exceeds this limit, it is considered illegal. Neither the XP95 nor the AMT Red exceed this limit.
Weight: True Temper XP95 vs AMT Red
A substantial difference between these two is the weight options. The XP95 has a range of 93 to 95 grams in weight. The AMT Red ranges from 34 grams to 107 grams. This means that the AMT Red has all of the weight options that the XP95 has and then some. You are more likely to find a suitable length option with the AMT Red in comparison to the XP95.
Launch: True Temper XP95 vs AMT Red
Another similarity between these two is the launch. Both have a high launch trajectory which means that they will get a lot of hate on impact. If you are someone who is seeking to get more height off of the tee, then either one of these will be a good option for you. Either of these would be a good option if you typically hit the ball low and want to increase the apex of your shot.
Spin: True Temper XP95 vs AMT Red
Another similarity between these two is the spin. Both shafts will help you generate a high amount of spin off of your shot which will also help with getting more height under the ball. High rates of spin will ultimately allow you to break through a lot of wind and get more height and a little bit more distance in your shot.
USGA Legal: True Temper XP95 vs AMT Red
The USGA has equipment rules that must be followed by every piece of golf equipment. A golf shaft is no different. According to the USGA both the XP 95 and a MT red are legal to use in any casual, high-level amateur, or professional golf outings.
