MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Once again delivering a dominate performance on the European Tour, the ultra-light Grafalloy® Blue graphite shaft with Micro-Meshâ?¢ tip technology claimed victory at the Dubai Desert Classic in the United Arab Emirates. Blue provided the perfect combination of tip stability and energy transfer for this year’s Dubai champion who finished at 19-under 269.
Meanwhile on the PGA Tour, the newly introduced Grafalloy Epic® made its official debut at the FBR Open. One week after the shaft’s introduction at the PGA Show, three of the highly advanced shafts featuring Grafalloy’s proprietary Nanofuse® material were already in play.
"The Epic shaft was made possible by harnessing the superior strength properties of nano-crystalline metals and fusing them at the molecular level with a composite polymer substrate," states Graeme Horwood, Vice President of Engineering/R&D for Grafalloy. "At only 20 nanometers, 1000 times smaller than the grain size of typical metallic structures, the nano-crystalline molecules are able to penetrate millions of specially engineered fissures within the composite polymer substrate creating the revolutionary Nanofuse material."
According to Horwood, Epic has shown to produce not only increased distance off the tee, but also delivers a 35 percent improvement in shot dispersion when compared to graphite shafts on the market today. This combined improvement in distance and accuracy results in as much as 15-20 yards closer to the pin off the tee. Epic is available for drivers, fairway woods and hybrids and will be available for purchase from aftermarket distributors and major OEM’s in March 2007.
