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 1.4ï?°.
About The Emc" Irons
– Each set frequency matched with CST (Contact Signature Tuned) technology for optimum feel and performance with e21 Scandium Eagle One Shafts
– 2-piece construction – inserted high-strength steel face plate allows for increased ball speed, and saves weight for optimizing CG location
– A progressive offset maximizes trajectory and allows forgiveness on miss-hits.
– CNC milled score lines control width and depth dimensions for maximum allowed by the USGA
– 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
– The TPE injected body dampens vibrations on all shots
About The Emc" Hybrids
– Available in 18, 20, 23 & 26 degrees of loft
– The sleek design features minimum crown thickness allowing for maximum CG specifications, as well as Crown Louvers that serve as an exceptional alignment aid for improved accuracy

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.
