TORONTO – May 1, 2007, — Element 21 Golf Company ("e21") (OTC BB: EGLF & Frankfurt (FWB): BJQ) the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf equipment, announced today that its Eagle One Scandium Alloy Shafts are now being played on all three Men’s Professional Golf Tours.
Several players on the Nationwide, PGA and Champions Tours have requested that their clubs be fitted with e21 Eagle One Scandium Alloy shafts since the beginning of the 2007 season, but over the past two weeks the interest has significantly increased. "We’ve had a noted increase in interest from the Tour Players on e21 shafts," said Andy Harris PGA Tour Rep for e21 Golf. "I’m working with several players right now, and think this new Scandium technology is really going to make an impact out here."
Currently, the Eagle One Scandium shafts are in the bag of an 11-Time Winner on the PGA Tour who has 97 career Top 10 Finishes to his credit and is considered one of the best ball strikers to ever play the game. He has placed his confidence in e21’s Scandium Driven Technology and loves the results he’s getting.
"When players of this caliber put our scandium shafts into play, it helps to validate the technology," commented Nataliya Hearn, CEO of e21 Golf. "The tour players are feeling the difference we keep telling consumers about. We will continue to increase our tour presence and work on getting e21 shafts into the hands of the best players in the world. We realize the emphasis that is placed on tour presence by the average golfer, and feel we are off to a very good start."
Over the past two weeks, e21 Golf has had at least one or more players on the Nationwide, PGA and Champions Tours using their Eagle One Scandium Alloy shafts in competition. These are all "non-endorsed" Tour Players who have simply recognized the benefits that Scandium Driven shafts can bring to their game, and opted to use them at play.
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 1.4o
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.
