"Midas" Hybrid Shaft Dominates PGA Nationwide and Champions Tours To Claim Title of Fastest Growing Hybrid Shaft on Tour
Lake Charles, LA, November 29, 2007 – RT Technologies (www.rttechnologies.net) today presented its year-end Tour Report for the 2007 PGA Tour Season. As a new shaft maker that burst on the U.S. PGA Tours in 2007, RT Technologies had a first season that was an unprecedented success by any measuring standard. During the course of the 2007 Tour season, RT Technologies shafts became known among some of the world’s best golfers for being consistent, straight and long. The "Midas" hybrid shaft led the way in terms of number of RT Technologies shafts in play. The "Zeus" and "Chaos" shafts became known as driver / fairway wood shafts that "can’t miss" in terms of hitting fairways. In all, RT Technologies shafts earned 4 victories (including 1 Major Championship), 35 top five finishes and a total of 50 top tens on the PGA Champions and Nationwide Tours.
"I have been out on the PGA Tours as a rep for a number of years," RT Technologies PGA Tour rep Joe Harter began. "I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anything like the dominance that RT shafts have demonstrated being a first year company. The guys out on Tour are learning that if you want to hit fairways, put an RT ‘Zeus’ or ‘Chaos’ shaft in your driver and you flat out can’t miss. Don’t even get me started on the ‘Midas’ hybrid shaft. It is without doubt the best hybrid shaft ever made. There is not a golfer out here on Tour that wouldn’t benefit from switching out their hybrid shaft and replacing it with a ‘Midas’. Given the limited number of shafts we gave out compared to our competitors, the fact that the Midas earned so many top tens and wins speaks for itself. RT Technologies had a great first year and I know that they’re just getting started. I would tell all top quality club builders that work with good players around the country to get some of these shafts in your shop right away. Your better players will love them just like the PGA Tour Pros that I work with do. RT Technologies makes the best ‘player’ shafts in the world."
"It has been an honor to be able to work with so many great players out on Tour this year," RT Technologies President Robbie Newton stated. "The Nationwide players that used our stuff are some of the best in the world and a few will be heading on up to the PGA Tour next year. The Champions Tour players are legends and we are humbled that our shafts have been used by some of the best known players of the last twenty to thirty years. To be chosen by these gentlemen with so much at stake week in and week out is a tremendous responsibility which we take very seriously. We are proud of the products that we make and are grateful and pleased that these great golfers find them worthy of Tour play. We’ll be back next year and pledge our continuing support while we express our outmost thanks. We look forward to working with you in 2008 and beyond."
