Wins Driver Count At Every Weekend Tour Event; Director of Sales Makes Second Round Match Play at Mid-Am
(Vista, CA – October 9, 2007) Fujikura Composites America, Inc.; the #1 wood shaft brand on the PGA Tour for the past six years; was the #1 Driver Shaft Brand at the USGA Mid-Am Championship and all U.S. Tour events this past weekend.
The winner of the Mid-Am Championship played a Fujikura shaft with Rombax material technology in his driver. Dave Schnider, Fujikura’s Director of Sales and Products, made it to the second round of match play competition at the Championship, playing Rombax shafts in his Driver and Irons. In his fairway woods, he chose the new E380 shafts.
"These are great achievements for Fujikura this week, especially at the Mid-Amateur where the amateur golfer is in the unique position to make his own independent and educated decision about the shafts used in his woods," says Peter R. Sanchez, Fujikura President/COO.
"Just like at the U.S. Amateur, where Fujikura was the #1 Driver Shaft brand, the Mid-Am players’ selection of our shafts again validates that Fujikura performs at the highest level of competition," Sanchez continues. "It was especially gratifying to see Dave Schnider, a member of our Fujikura family and an accomplished amateur, make it to the Mid-Am second round," says Sanchez.
"It was a thrill to play well in such a world-class field at the Mid-Am," says Schnider. "I just switched to Rombax 115i shafts in my irons this summer, and I was pleased to be able to control my trajectory and flight in the often challenging conditions during the tournament."
The new Rombax i shafts are the same shaft that has been played in irons on the PGA Tour in 2007.
"Our Mid-Am #1 Driver brand position also testifies to the strong relationship, respect and success Fujikura has with these great golfers and leading club companies to develop the most innovative technology and products for players of all skill levels," says Schnider.
Fujikura has been the #1 Wood Shaft Brand on the PGA Tour for the past six years and is the primary supplier to many national brand OEM’s offering both proprietary and brand product shaft designs. Fujikura products also can be custom fitted through its network of over 900 Charter Dealers. To learn more about Fujikura, visit www.fujikuragolf.com.
