TORRINGTON, Conn. — America’s first steel shaft manufacturer, Royal Precision claimed first- and second-place at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship with its Precision FCM Accraâ?¢ and Rifle® Project X iron shafts. It was the second consecutive win for Royal Precision products at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, and a dominate victory for the steel shaft-maker favored by the Top 25 ranked golfers in the world.
"The WGC-Accenture is another great win, and we’re very excited to see our technology and innovation in steel shaft design deliver superior performance at the highest levels of the game," says Ray Lucas, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Royal Precision. "With the world’s best players choosing to play Rifle steel shafts by a 3:2 margin over our nearest competitor, this victory is a great testimonial to the quality and performance of Royal Precision products."
According to the World Golf Ranking on 16 February 2006, shafts designed and manufactured by Royal Precision are the clear favorite, with 13 of the World’s Top 25 Ranked golfers playing Rifle. Among the other steel brands, the closest competitor fielded only eight players and another brand had two players, while two top golfers played graphite shafts in their irons.
Only Rifle steel shafts incorporate four unique technologies to generate unparalleled performance and consistency. These sophisticated shafts feature: 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.
