TORRINGTON, Conn. — Well-known
as the world’s premium stepless steel shafts, Rifle® shafts
wrapped up a global double-header this weekend with victories
on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Not only were Rifle
shafts the winning iron shafts at The International on
the PGA Tour, but Rifle steel shafts also claimed the victory
in Perthshire, Scotland, at the European Tour’s Johnnie
Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
Delivering unparalleled performance and making the winning
difference, Rifle Project X steel shafts were the iron
shafts of choice by this year’s Johnnie Walker champion,
and were the same shafts which also won this year’s
Mercedes Championships, FBR Phoenix Open, AT&T Pebble
Beach, WCG-Accenture Match Play, and the BellSouth Classic
on the PGA Tour.
“
With our patented Rifling design, frequency coefficient
matching and stepless engineering, Rifle-branded shafts
have long been recognized as the most sophisticated steel
shafts in the world, so it’s very rewarding to see
players from pro tours around the world achieving victory
after victory with Rifle shafts,” says John Lauchnor,
president and CEO of Royal Precision. “Today many
pros are looking for a level of optimized performance in
steel shafts that they simply cannot get in the old, traditional
stepped shafts which actually create weak points along
the shaft that act as stress risers. But, the Stepless
Design Technology of Rifle shafts eliminates the energy-robbing ‘steps’ for
greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact.”
Only premium Rifle steel shafts incorporate four unique
technologies to provide the industry’s highest level
of performance and consistency: 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. |
