SAN DIEGO, CA – July 26 2006 – Penley Golf, the Mercedes of the golf shaft industry, invites golfers to try its new line of P2 driver and fairway shafts.
"The P2 shafts combine low torque with our patented DynamX® Design viscoelastic dampening material," said David Duffy, General Manager, Penley Golf. "In plain English, this means you will experience improved feel and performance in your driver and fairway woods when using the P2 shafts."
As part of its plan to allow more golfers to try its new shafts, the company is offering a special incentive to retailers. "We are currently running a promotion for retailers through August 31st," continued Duffy. "Interested retailers can learn more about this promotion by calling 1-800-543-2396 or e-mailing Bryan Putman at bputman@penleygolf.com. Golfers can purchase any of our P2 shafts from their favorite retailers."
The P2 shafts have been designed using a patented aerospace technology that has resulted in an ultra low torque shaft with great feel. Lower torque results in greater accuracy and distance by helping to square the face at impact. According to Duffy, low torque has always equaled harsh feel. With the company’s new technology, they have been able to remove the harsh vibrations traditionally associated with lower torque. Because of this, the P2 feels and performs unlike any shaft previously available.
The P2 Swingspeed shafts are available for drivers and fairway woods in three models, the P2 – 86r, P2 – 96s and P2 – 106x. All models include a patented dampening technology that absorbs harsh torsional vibrations without affecting the primary flex mode of the shaft or increasing weight.
The P2 – 86r shafts are designed for the player with a smoother swing tempo. The 65g. driver and 86g. fairway shafts in the P2-86r family have a torque of 2.8º, allowing the player that traditionally uses a regular flex to optimize their accuracy and distance throughout their wood set. This shaft is recommended for a player with a swing speed of 80-92 mph.
The P2 – 96s shafts are designed for the player with a faster swing tempo. The 68g. driver and 90g. fairway shafts in the P2-96s family have a torque of 2.5º, allowing the player that traditionally uses a stiff flex to optimize accuracy and distance. This shaft is recommended for a player with a swing speed of 90-102 mph.
The P2 – 106x shafts are designed for players with the fastest swing tempo. The 71g. driver and 92g. fairway shafts in the P2-106x family have a torque of 2.3º, allowing the player that traditionally uses an extra-stiff flex to optimize their accuracy and distance. This shaft is recommended for a player with a swing speed of 100+ mph.
P2 Driver and Fairway Shafts are available in R, S and X flexes with tip diameters in both .335" and .350". The driver shaft is 46" in length, while the fairway shaft measures 44.5". The P2 Driver Shaft has a suggested retail price of $110.00 and the P2 Fairway Shaft has an MSRP of$105.00.
