2005-05-25 - Bruno’s Best Plays Rifle TORRINGTON, Conn. — Premium Rifle steel shafts won the14th annual Bruno’s Memorial Classic in Hoover, Ala., and demonstrated again why Rifle continues to be golf’s leading name for premium, high-performance steel shafts. With Rifle steel shafts in his irons, this year’s Bruno’s champion played bogey-free golf, shooting a 3-under 69 on Sunday and earning his first title of the season on the Champions Tour. “For a decade, golf’s greatest players have turned to Rifle-branded steel shafts for outstanding performance and winning results, and we congratulate this year’s winner of the Bruno’s Memorial Classic,” says John Lauchnor, president and CEO of Royal Precision, America’s first steel shaft manufacturer. “This victory is another great testament to the performance, consistency and accuracy of Rifle’s patented internal rifling design and stepless technology. After 10 years, premium Rifle shafts remain unlike any steel shafts on the market.” Rifle shafts incorporate four unique technologies to generate unparalleled performance and consistency. Only Rifle steel shafts offer: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design Technology that eliminates the energy-robbing ‘steps’ found on most other steel shafts, and provides greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact; Patented Internal ‘Rifling’ that transfers energy more efficiently than other steel shafts, reduces vibration and increases distance; and advanced Flighted Technology that features produces variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set. Celebrating a decade of dominance among premium steel shafts, Rifle has garnered numerous wins in 2005, including the Mercedes Championship, FBR Open, AT&T Pebble Beach, WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, The Honda Classic, BellSouth Classic and MCI Heritage as well as several international events.
