TORRINGTON, Conn. — For
the third consecutive year, premium Rifle® shafts delivered
a victory in golf’s ancestral home, winning the Barclays
Scottish Open and earning this year’s rookie champion
a coveted position at St. Andrews next week. The dramatic
win was the seventh on the year for the Rifle Project X
shaft which has received high praise among PGA pros, many
of whom recognize the Project X as the world’s most
advanced iron shaft.
“
The Scottish Open is a great victory for Rifle Project
X shafts, and it clearly shows how many of the world’s
best golfers prefer to play premium products which incorporate
state-of-the-art, custom ball flight engineering compared
to the numerous steel shafts that still use 30-year-old,
stepped designs,” says John Lauchnor, president and
CEO of Royal Precision. “The sophisticated Rifle® Project
X is an incredibly advanced blend of new technologies,
and it is has an unmatched reputation on professional tours
for providing quick ball launch and a long, penetrating
trajectory.”
As the Rifle brand celebrates its 10th year on Tour, the
Project X has delivered an extremely exciting 2005 PGA
season, adds Lauchnor. The Rifle Project X iron shaft was
a six-time winner on the PGA Tour last year, including
the Masters. With the PGA season at the half-way point
for 2005, the Project X has already delivered seven victories.
Often recognized for its innovative and patented design,
Rifle Project X shafts help players maintain their highest
level of consistency by using a different per-inch constant
taper that provides greater energy transfer to the ball
at impact and optimum trajectory. In addition, the Project
X incorporates four unique technologies to generate unparalleled
performance. 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.
In 2005, Royal Precision also introduced an all-new Project
X wood shaft. Both Rifle Project X iron and wood shafts
are available in flexes 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0. |
