TORRINGTON, Conn. — America’s
first steel shaft manufacturer, Royal Precision, showcased
the real value of playing premium golf shafts by capturing
victory at the B.C. Open, the 11th win of the PGA TOUR
for Rifle-branded steel shafts. At the B.C. Open, premium
Rifle iron shafts provided shot performance so consistent
and accurate that they helped to set a new tournament record — 24-under
264 — and delivered the new champion his first PGA
TOUR victory.
“
The level of competition on the PGA Tour has never been
closer than it is today, so it’s no surprise that
many players are turning to premium equipment to gain a
winning edge,” says John Lauchnor, president and
CEO of Royal Precision. “Rifle shafts continue to
deliver exceptionally high performance with a one-of-a-kind
stepless design that provides each shaft with internal ‘rifling’ and
a long, smooth, constant taper shape, instead of the periodic
angled steps found in older steel shaft designs.”
Setting Rifle steel shafts apart from other steel shafts,
only Rifle incorporates four unique technologies with every
shaft: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set
of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design
Technology that eliminates energy-robbing ‘steps’ found
on most other steel shafts, providing 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 produces variable ball trajectories
for different clubs within a single set.
Rifle-branded steel shafts have enjoyed an immensely successful
history on Tour, including last year during which Rifle
shafts won more Majors on the PGA Tour in 2004 than any
other steel shaft. This year, Rifle is celebrating its ‘Decade
of Dominance’ 10th anniversary among premium steel
shafts, and is marking the anniversary with special offers
and initiatives throughout the year at distributors worldwide. |
