TORRINGTON, Conn. — This
year’s 23-year-old champion played premium Rifle
steel shafts in her irons to win the 2005 U.S. Women’s
Open Championship in Cherry Hills Village, Colo. The win
was the first-ever tour victory for the young South Korean,
and the biggest purse in women’s golf.
“
We’re very excited to win the biggest tournament
of the LPGA season,” says John Lauchnor, president
and CEO of Royal Precision. “Rifle-branded shafts
offer incredibly advanced engineering which combines multiple
technologies to significantly enhance energy transfer to
the ball at impact and to generate optimum trajectories
with stability and control.”
Providing tighter shot dispersion; better control; greater
distance with improved accuracy; and a smooth, yet solid
feel at impact, the benefits of Rifle shafts have been
showcased by top-ranked tour players worldwide. Only Rifle
steel shafts offer four unique technologies for unmatched
performance: 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.
For 2005, Rifle-branded steel shafts are celebrating their
10th year of dominance among premium steel shafts. So far
this season, Rifle-branded shafts have been victorious
at the Mercedes Championship, FBR Open, AT&T Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am, Chrysler Classic of Tucson, WGC-Accenture
Match Play Championship, Honda Classic, BellSouth Classic,
MCI Heritage and The Barclays Classic on the PGA Tour and
the Bruno’s Memorial Classic on the Champions Tour.
Internationally, Rifle shafts have also won the BMW Asian
Open, New Zealand Open, BMW Championship, Qatar Masters
and Dubai Desert Classic. |
