PACOIMA, Calif. — Technology and tradition came together this weekend as Harrison graphite shafts were among the top shaft brands represented at The Open Championship, the world’s oldest golf championship. Harrison’s new Impulse hybrid shafts surged in popularity among the players and captured a coveted Top 10 money position at Royal Liverpool, England.
"The 2006 British Open was immensely successful for Harrison graphite shafts," says Mike Cheng, president of Harrison Sports. "Not only did our top-money finisher this week use our new Impulse Hybrid Fairway shaft in his Adams Idea Pro Hybrid club (18°) to win close to $200,000, but the Impulse was one of the most popular hybrid shafts at the tournament. Hybrid shafts provide unique performance advantage for players, and the Impulse features a lower balance point and produces a higher launch angle that more easily gets the ball airborne."
Typically, hybrid-design clubs must withstand greater stress at impact due to turf contact, so enhanced stability is a critical design factor for a shaft to resist distortion upon impact. Harrison’s new Impulse Hybrid shaft is a unique 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. Impulse shafts are available as a fairway wood or utility iron.
This season, the Harrison Impulse shaft has already delivered eight Top 10 finishes on pro tours.
