SUNLAND, Calif. – Respected custom clubfitter and owner of Horsepower Golf, Patrick Dempsey frosted the long drive competition with a 397-yard blast and won first place in the senior division at the 2006 Iceman International Competition held in Tobago, Trinidad. Dempsey scored the record-setting drive playing Cobra/2x Speed driver (7.5° loft) along with a Golfsmith Yellow Hornet proto (7°) custom fit with a Proforce V2 LD graphite shaft.
"I’m very excited to win the Iceman Competition," says Dempsey, who won the 2002 RE/MAX World Long Drive Senior Champion and the 2005 ALDA senior championship. "The tour is loaded with talent and the competition is very tight, so a player’s choice in equipment is more important to hitting long drives than ever before. I’m very pleased with the extra distance I’m seeing with my new Proforce V2 LD shaft, and in addition the new development of the ‘super hot’ Killer Bee Yellow Hornet driver head. This combo should make this year the most exciting of all when it comes to the ‘Holy Cow’ in drivers."
The all-new Proforce V2 LD graphite shafts, engineered by United Sports Technologies (UST®) and distributed exclusively by Horsepower Golf, are the latest in long drive shaft technology. The V2 LD features a longer-than-standard length to target golfers looking for an explosive release of energy in a longer shaft, and it provides an explosive release of energy at impact."
"This new V2 LD is the most likeable shaft I have ever hit, and we’re very pleased that so many of our customers are hitting the ball longer than ever before," says Dempsey. "It’s easy to load and has an explosive release at impact very much like a bullwhip. Just as a whip unloads, the energy runs smoothly down the shaft and increases in speed until the energy releases at the tip. Plus, its torsional strength provides a lot of control."
