  provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by the Company.&#160; This document, and related exhibits, contain
  forward-looking statements.&#160; All

  current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating
  performance. However there are many risk factors, including but not limited to,
  the general state of the economy, the Company&#146;s ability to execute its plans,
  competitive factors, and other risks that could cause the actual results to
  differ materially from the estimates or predictions contained in the Company&#146;s
  forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning the Company&#146;s
  risk factors is contained from time to time in the Company&#146;s public filings
  with the SEC; and recently in Part&nbsp;I, Item 1A of the Company&#146;s Annual

  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
  On May 13, 2008, True Temper Sports, Inc.
  (the "Company") reported its earnings for the first quarter ended March 30,
  2008.  Attached to this Current Report on
  Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the Company's related press
  release dated May 13, 2008.  The
  information furnished under Items 2.02 and 7.01 shall not be deemed filed for
  purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall
  it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act
  of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in a
  filing.
  Non-GAAP
  Financial Measures
  The
  press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 contains non-GAAP financial
  measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and
  Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP
  financial measures provide information that is useful to the users of its
  financial information regarding the Company's financial condition and results
  of operations. Additionally, the Company uses these non-GAAP measures to
  evaluate its past performance and prospects for future performance. The Company
  believes it is appropriate to present this non-GAAP financial information for
  the following reasons:
  ·
  The Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding
  period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or
  could, have a disproportional positive or negative impact on the Company's
  results of operations in any particular period.
  ·
  The Company believes that this information represents widely accepted
  financial indicators used by certain investors and analysts as a measure of the
  Company's liquidity and an indicator of the Company's operating performance.
  While
  the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in
  evaluating Company performance, this information should be considered as
  supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related
  financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles
  generally accepted in the United States. Further, these non-GAAP financial
  measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.
  ITEM 9.01
  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
  Exhibit 99.1      
  Press Release of the Company dated May 13, 2008.
  Exhibit 99.1
  shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
  Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any
  filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth
  by specific reference in a filing.
  Risks
  Associated with Forward Looking Statements
  The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 (the "Act")
  provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by the Company.  This document, and related exhibits, contain
  forward-looking statements.  All
  statements which address operating performance, events or developments that we
  expect, plan, believe, hope, wish, forecast, predict, intend, or anticipate
  will occur in the future are forward looking statements within the meaning of
  the Act.
  The forward-looking statements are based on management's
  current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating
  performance. However there are many risk factors, including but not limited to,
  the general state of the economy, the Company's ability to execute its plans,
  competitive factors, and other risks that could cause the actual results to
  differ materially from the estimates or predictions contained in the Company's
  forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning the Company's
  risk factors is contained from time to time in the Company's public filings
  with the SEC; and recently in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual
  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
  2
  The Company's views, estimates, plans and outlook as
  described within this document may change subsequent to the release of this
  statement. The Company is under no obligation to modify or update any or all of
  the statements it has made herein despite any subsequent changes the Company
  may make in its views, estimates, plans or outlook for the future.
