TORRINGTON, Conn. — Chalking
up its 29th win of 2005, premium Rifle steel shafts dominated
this weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship held at
the Tournament Players Club of Boston by winning first-
and second-place. This year’s champion played Rifle
steel shafts in his irons to shoot a 4-under 67 on Monday
to win the New England classic, while the tournament’s
sole runner-up also distanced himself from the pack with
Rifle shafts. By locking up the two highest money positions,
the two Rifle players garnered more than $1.5 million in
winnings.
“
From the Mercedes Championship in January to the Deutsche
Bank Championship this weekend, we’re very excited
to celebrate such a strong string of victories around the
world, especially since this is the 10th anniversary for
Rifle steel shafts,” says John Lauchnor, president
and CEO of Royal Precision. “Rifle shafts offer incredibly
sophisticated engineering which combines multiple technologies
to significantly enhance the energy transfer to the ball
at impact and to generate optimum trajectories with stability
and control.”
Rifle steel shafts are often considered the world’s
most advanced steel shafts because the shaft design incorporates
four unique technologies which have proven to provide 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, reduces vibration and
increases distance; and advanced Flighted Technology that
produces variable ball trajectories for different clubs
within a single set.
Throughout 2005, Rifle branded steel shafts have celebrated
a decade of dominance among premium steel shafts. The shaft
brand that won more Majors on the PGA Tour in 2004 than
any other steel shaft has acknowledged its 10th anniversary
with marketing initiatives and special offers held throughout
the year at distributors worldwide. |
