TORRINGTON, Conn. — Playing Rifle steel shafts in her irons, the 20-year-old Japanese superstar delivered a lesson in high performance this weekend at the LPGA Q-School, shooting an unprecedented 17-under-par and winning by 12 strokes. The record-setting victory showcased the Rifle 90, a model exclusive to the Asian market and distributed through Precision Japan.
"Consistency, accuracy and performance are the cornerstones for Rifle technology, and we’re very excited to see this year’s LPGA Q-School champion demonstrate the benefits of playing premium Rifle steel shafts," says Ray Lucas, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Royal Precision. "The Rifle 90 iron shafts are part of an exclusive line distributed in the Asian market, but they possess the same stepless engineering of Rifle shafts sold elsewhere in the world — the benefits of which were clearly evident with this week’s win by the biggest golf star in Japan."
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.
