TORRINGTON, Conn. (May 22, 2006) – One week after winning the EDS Byron Nelson Championship in Dallas, premium Rifle steel shafts by Royal Precision once again delivered superior consistency and accuracy to win the Bank of America Colonial in Fort Worth. Rifle’s Texas Two-Step through the ‘Big D’ metroplex earned impressive back-to-back victories on the PGA Tour and achieved Rifle’s 24th professional victory of the 2006 season.
This year’s Colonial champion played Rifle Project X in his irons as well as his hybrid wood to earn the Colonial’s coveted plaid jacket and $1.08 million. The victory was the seventh win on the PGA Tour this year for Rifle Project X shafts.
"Winning the Byron Nelson and the Colonial back-to-back is an amazing testament to the superior level of performance provided by Rifle shafts, and just two more reasons why three of the Top Five ranked golfers in the world play Rifle," says Ray Lucas, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Royal Precision. "Because of its combination of stepless design and innovative technologies, the Rifle Project X shaft is often considered the world’s most advanced steel shaft. Whether in a wood, hybrid or iron, Project X shafts help players maintain their highest level of consistency by using a different per-inch constant taper that provides greater energy transfer to the ball at impact and optimum trajectory."
Only Rifle steel shafts incorporate four unique technologies for unparalleled performance and consistency: 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.
