TORONTO — Element 21 Golf Company ("e21") (OTC BB:EGLF.OB – News) (Frankfurt:BJQ.F – News), the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf and fishing equipment, is pleased to announce that renowned teacher Rick Smith will be appearing at their Booth, #1413, on Friday, January 18th from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm during the PGA Merchandise Show to discuss the advantages of the e21 Scandium alloy to the golf industry.
“Whether working on Tour with the best players in the world or with the weekend golfer, it is evident that all golfers are looking for new technology in their golf equipment that will give them a competitive advantage,” said Smith. “Recently, I was introduced to a golf equipment company called Element 21 which has incorporated a new alloy called Scandium into golf equipment. Element 21 told me about how Scandium is a lighter and stronger titanium that is more consistent than graphite. That seemed too good to be true and all hype…until I hit Element 21’s new Emc2 hybrid clubs. Wow! These hybrids are easy to hit, really long and great looking. Scandium is the alloy of the future. I recommend Element 21 hybrids to anyone whether it is a Tour player or common golfer.”
