PACOIMA, Calif. — Playing and winning at the Home of Golf, graphite shafts engineered by Harrison Sports claimed a five-shot victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St. Andrews. The 11-year pro player and recent Ryder Cup star shot 16-under par 271 to win at historic St. Andrews, using a Harrison Striper Long Drive graphite shaft in his driver and a Harrison Impulse shaft in his 2- and 3-hybrid clubs.
"The international victory was very exciting, and we’re very pleased that so many pros around the world trust Harrison shafts to provide the consistency and performance they need to win," says Mike Cheng, president of Harrison. "The Striper Long Drive and Impulse shafts are both composed of the finest graphite materials, which provides players with a durable, premium product that features constant swing power and unmatched performance."
The Striper Long Drive shaft is composed of boron reinforced X-6200 graphite and features a high flex point and 3.5 degrees of torque. A unique design, new for 2006, Harrison’s new Impulse Hybrid shaft 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. Hybrid-design clubs must often withstand more stress at impact due to turf contact, so enhanced stability is a critical design factor for shafts to resist impact distortion. The Harrison Impulse shaft also possesses a lower balance point and produces a higher launch angle to more easily get the ball airborne. Impulse shafts are available as a fairway wood or utility iron.
