PACOIMA, Calif. — After a blustery weekend in Hawaii, Rory Sabbatini finished in second place at the Sony Open while playing the Harrison Pro 2.5 and Impulse Hybrid Utility wood shafts. With an average driving distance of almost 305 yards, the winning ‘Wildcat’ finished 14-under 280, knocking out the majority of his competition with a phenomenal 8-under par in the final round. Not only using his driving length, Sabbatini used his Impulse Hybrid Utility to help him to a T2 in Green In Regulation at this weekend’s tournament. Greater distance and accuracy are an advantage of the Harrison Pro 2.5 and Impulse Hybrid Utility that players, like Sabbatini, have been relying on, tournament after tournament.
"We’re elated to announce our first second place finish for 2006. The Pro 2.5’s have long been relied on by many players for their ability to provide increased distance with greater accuracy. We are excited for Rory and are looking forward to a great season for him and for Harrison," says Mike Cheng, president of Harrison Sports.
The Pro 2.5 series is well known among PGA professionals for providing superior distance and accuracy upon which pro golfers depend on. It is seen in the bags of many players on the TOUR and is found often in the hands of top 10 winners. The shaft is composed of the finest graphite materials, which provides players with a durable, premium product that features constant swing power and unmatched performance. The Harrison Pro 2.5 series shafts are composed of boron reinforced X-6200 graphite and feature mid- to high flex points and 2.5 degrees of torque. Harrison Pro 2.5 shafts are available in weight options from 50 grams to 95 grams with flexes ranging from L/A to S/X.
The Impulse is a particularly unique hybrid design that incorporates a patent-pending Inlay Titanium Matrix, a thin layer of titanium wrapped around the shaft’s tip section to increase stability, reduce shaft torque and to dramatically improve accuracy. Typically, hybrid-design clubs must withstand greater stress at impact due to turf contact, so enhanced stability is a critical design factor for the shaft to resist distortion upon impact. In addition, Impulse shafts possess a lower balance point and produce a higher launch angle to make it easier to get the ball up into the air. The Impulse’s special hybrid design and advanced titanium layer delivers reliable shot after reliable shot.
Impulse graphite shafts are available as a Fairway Wood or Utility Iron. The 75-gram Fairway Wood shaft has a 44-inch length and 3.5 degrees of torque. The 42-inch-long Utility Iron shaft weighs 85 grams and has a torque of 2.5 degrees.
