Triple Digit Rise in New Drivers, Fairway Woods/ Hybrids Bests Competition
(Vista, CA – November 2, 2007) Fujikura Composite America has shown dramatic, consistent growth over the last three years across all handicaps and ages in shafts used in new drivers and fairway woods/hybrids, according to the most recent Darrell Survey National Consumer Report.
The new report shows that Fujikura grew 189% in New Driver Usages and 200% in New Fairway/Hybrids, exceeding leading competition from 2005 to 2007. This Darrell Survey report is conducted annually amongst golfers of all handicap levels and ages at private, public and municipal clubs across the United States.
"We are thrilled that this new report clearly shows Fujikura’s growing acceptance by players all of handicaps and ages," says Peter R. Sanchez, President/COO of Fujikura. "These results are particularly impressive because they show Fujikura broadening its acceptance beyond the better player, a coveted position our brand has earned and sustained because of our tremendous success on all the Pro Tours.
"And I must add that these results would not be possible without our long and continuing relationships with the top club manufacturers in the world," Sanchez says.
Fujikura has been the #1 Wood Shaft Brand on the PGA Tour for the past seven 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.
