TEMECULA, Calif. — Making a strong impression on North American golfers, Akira Products proudly announces that its API Forged Irons have received 100 percent approval during recent member testing by the PGA TOUR Partners Club, North America’s largest club of golf enthusiasts. With a high-performance design and classic styling, the new Akira API Forged irons earned high-praise for superior performance and feel and will be featured in the September/October issue of the PGA TOUR Partners Magazine.

"The new API-Forged Irons are all about precision shot-making, and we’re very pleased with the 100 percent approval ratings received from the PGA TOUR Partners," says Mike Matheny, president and CEO of Eastern Golf Company, exclusive United States distributor of Akira products. "The API Forged irons provide a uniquely soft feel at impact which no other forgings can replicate. The PGA TOUR Partners membership include some of the most discriminating test players, so it’s extremely rewarding to have earned their unanimous respect and praise for these new irons."

The Akira API Forged Irons are uniquely engineered for low-handicap amateurs with several design features which maximize the feel of the ball at impact. Forged from mild S-20C steel, the API irons are precision milled on the clubface, and feature a layer of soft copper plating beneath the chrome finish which creates more cushion and softness at impact for higher accuracy shots. The Akira API irons are now available to U.S. dealers and golfers through the Eastern Golf Company in sets of 3-iron through PW with Nippon steel shafts.

Offering new design concepts and creative technologies such as stabilizing beam structures, hyper-steel manufacturing and variable face densities, Akira Products Co. has developed clubs that provide maximum satisfaction to every golfer. Akira has also collaborated with many of the world’s most respected graphite shaft manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, Graphite Design, Fujikura, Mamiya-OP and others.
