TORONTO — March 20, 2007 — Element 21 Golf Company ("e21") (OTC BB: EGLF & Frankfurt (FWB): BJQ) the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf equipment, announced today that in recent "Hands-On" player testing administered nationally by Golfing Magazine, their new Emc² Irons were awarded a "Players’ Choice" Award, for the Highest Reader’s Rating in the "Best Feel" category.
In this program, iron sets were submitted by manufacturers and tested by amateur golfers all over the country under the supervision of a PGA Professional. The testing was administered to golfers of varied skill levels in order to give a better representation of how all golfers, not just the pros, hit these clubs. Each iron set is then ranked in several categories: Appearance, Playability, Feel, Distance, and Value and then given an Overall Performance Rating based on these cumulative scores. The Emc² Irons ranked #1 in Feel against 15 other iron sets that were tested, including: Taylor Made R7 Irons, Nike CCi Cast Irons, Mizuno MX-25 Irons and the Callaway X-20 Irons, just to mention a few.
In addition to winning the Players’ Choice Award for "Best Feel", with an 8.5 Readers Rating, the Emc² Irons finished with extremely high ratings in every other category, and received an Overall Performance Rating of 8.1, which placed it ahead of almost every other iron set tested.
Comments made about the Emc² Irons from Golfing Magazine Play Testers included; "Never felt anything like this, the feeling is so solid." Other play testers commented, "Extremely soft at impact, even on mis-hits," and "Everything felt great with these irons."
Complete test results are available in the Spring 2007 issue of Golfing Magazine or online at www.golfingmagazine.net.
This award is just one of the many accolades that e21 has received since the debut of their new Scandium Driven Emc² Irons and Emc² Hybrids at the 2007 PGA Merchandise show this past January.
About The Emc² Irons
â?¢ Each set frequency matched with CST (Contact Signature Tuned) technology for optimum feel and performance with e21 Scandium Eagle One Shafts
â?¢ 2 piece construction – high-strength steel face plate allows for increased ball speed, and saves weight for optimizing CG location.
â?¢ A progressive offset maximizes trajectory and allows forgiveness on miss-hits.
â?¢ CNC milled scorelines control width and depth dimensions for maximum allowed by the USGA.
â?¢ A wide sole makes it easier to get a proper launch angle from all types of lies, and a hollow design allows for increased MOI, giving more accuracy on off-center hits.
â?¢ The TPE injected body dampens vibrations on all shots.
About The e21 Eagle One Scandium Shafts
e21’s Scandium Alloy shafts are manufactured using a proprietary 25-step production process to create a seamless, extruded shaft. Variable wall thickness and the alloy’s high tensile strength results in a vibration dampening system called ShockBlok(TM) with 270% better shock attenuation than steel shafts that protects golfer’s bodies, bones and joints. Each e21 shaft is made from a single piece of Scandium Alloy resulting in unmatched consistency from club to club as well as unprecedented accuracy and an industry leading torque of as low as 1.4
About Element 21 Golf Company
Element 21 Golf Company is a Delaware company trading on the OTCBB and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) with offices in New Jersey, USA and Toronto, Canada. e21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using it’s proprietary e21 Scandium Metal Alloy. Simply put, e21 clubs are using next-generation technology that delivers marked improvements in distance, consistency, accuracy and feel over any of the most popular products in the $5.5 billion U.S. golf equipment marketplace.
Based on this superior performance, a number of high profile golf professionals have switched to or have begun testing e21’s Eagle One shafts in recent months.
e21 Scandium Metal Alloy is the secret behind this advanced performance. Originally developed for advanced aeronautics in jet fighters such as the MiG, it is 55% lighter and offers a 25% greater strength-to-weight advantage over Titanium alloys, the current standard in the golf equipment industry. e21 Scandium Metal Alloys allows greater freedom to move more weight to the perimeter of the club face in woods and hybrids than any other metal, resulting in a significantly larger sweet spot than any other club head. Additionally, e21 Scandium Metal Alloy shafts are almost perfectly symmetrical at 99.5-99.9%, compared to 60-78% typical in graphite shafts and 80-85% for steel.
e21 Golf – Better Science. Better Performance.
