HARVEST, Ala. (March 6, 2008) – Balance-Certified Golf, developer of the number one shaft weighting system on Tour, received word from the USGA recently that their latest innovative Moment Of Inertia (MOI) technology called the “Shaft StabilizerTM” conforms to USGA’s rules of golf. Balance-Certified debuted the totally new MOI concept with great success at the 2008 PGA, IPCA, and PCS golf shows. Booth attendance was heavy and Balance-Certified sold out of Shaft StabilizersTM on the very first day of the first show. The technology will be on Tour this week at the Toshiba Classic in Newport Beach, California.
The Shaft StabilizerTM significantly improves swing consistency by optimizing the MOI of the butt end of the club to maximize inertial stability. The resulting improvement in swing consistency equates to more ball strikes with the club head’s sweet spot.
Jeff Lindner, BCG’s President, noted that the “Shaft StabilizerTM is a natural extension of our existing patented technologies. It was inspired by our work on Tour with our staff players Scott Hoch and Tom Jenkins. Scott and Tom have gotten Balance-Certified off to a great start this year with two wins and one second place finish already. In a nutshell, the Shaft StabilizerTM increases (MOI) of the butt end of any golf club by as much as 3031 g-cm2. The improved MOI increases controllability of the club.”
The Shaft StabilizerTM is installed in the butt end of the shaft and is designed to be a rigid, distributed weight MOI system that actually increases the strength of the shaft while strategically increasing shaft MOI. It is composed of three major components, the Upper Hand Shaft Mass, the Lower Hand Shaft Mass, and the Mass Coupler/Stabilizer Rod. Each component works in concert to stabilize the upper and lower hands, increase shaft bending and hoop strength, and improve vibration feedback.
John Cranston, Balance-Certified VP added, “We are excited about providing our professional club fitters with NEW technology that will help them to build their reputations and, more importantly, generate repeat customers that return to their fitting centers time after time to receive the very latest technological advantage.”
Balance-Certified Golf’s industry-leading back-weighting technology was developed by a former NASA engineering team in 1999. The Pro-Balance line introduces strategically-located weights that can be used to adjust a golf club’s vibration and response characteristics and can be installed on any brand of golf equipment and any club in the bag. Balance-Certified’s scientific approach to golf club dynamics helps transform "feel" into a definable and tunable parameter. Independent testing has demonstrated that the Balance-Certified Golf system delivers increased ball speed in drivers, greater iron play control and a tangible benefit in "feel" and distance control of putters.
Balance-Certified Golf’s Pro-Balance weighting system and power rings can be installed by club fitters or by individual golfers with the self-fit kit. Balance-Certified Golf systems can be found at many retail golf shops across the U.S. and elsewhere.
