PACOIMA, Calif. — Graphite shafts manufactured by Harrison Sports fostered a fourth-place finish at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, held at English Turn Golf & Country Club, less than 10 miles from the historic French Quarter. With all the devastation from Hurricane Katrina over the last year, Harrison is glad to see golf returning, at all levels, to the region. Capturing a share of the top prize money, Harrison’s Pro 2.5 shaft collected nearly one quarter million dollars in winnings and recorded another third-place ranking in driving accuracy during the four-day event.
"The Pro 2.5 shaft is well-known for giving players increased distance and greater accuracy, and that particular model shaft is very often found in the hands of Top 10 finishers on Tour," says Mike Cheng, president of Harrison Sports. "The Pro 2.5 is composed of the industry’s finest graphite materials and provides players with constant swing power and unmatched performance. We’re extremely happy with its winning performance on the PGA and Long Drive Tours."
The Pro 2.5 is one of Harrison’s most popular shafts on the Tour and features one of the lowest overall torques in Harrison’s line of high-performance shafts. The Pro 2.5 has been used to score more than 200 Top 10s on the PGA Tour, seven World Long Drive championships wins, and was used by Rory Sabbatini to win the 2006 Nissan Open. A logical contrast to the popular stiff tip design, the Pro 2.5’s high performance construction fused with a mid tip stiffness to make it easier to get the ball air borne is an ideal shaft for golfers who seek a high degree of accuracy and playability. It is ideally suited for the 460cc driver that is so popular today.
The Harrison Pro 2.5 is composed of boron reinforced X-6200 graphite and features mid-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.
