Beats Next Two Competitors Combined in Drive and All Woods Counts
(Vista, CA – May 12, 2008) Fujikura was the #1 Driver and All Woods Shaft Brand which includes hybrids at the LPGA Michelob Ultra Open, beating its next two competitors combined.
“Fujikura’s dominant leadership at this tournament and on the LPGA Tour on a weekly basis powerfully validates that our materials and design technologies are respected and played for their superior performance by the world’s best female players,” says David Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura.
“We are especially excited about these accomplishments because these talented and discriminating women respect the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts in tandem with our OEM clubmakers,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative.
The company’s LPGA tour position was highlighted by being the #1 Driver and Wood Shaft brand at its U.S. major championships. Fujikura also was the #1 Driver Shaft and #1 Wood Shaft Brand, which includes hybrids, on the LPGA Tour for every week of full field events for the entire 2007 U.S. season.
The company’s Tour success is the result of its new Fit-On Academy, an innovative, proprietary research and development system designed to create and test new breakthrough shaft designs and materials. The Academy uses the most advanced analysis and simulation technology to monitor golfer’s real swings and range of swing speeds to produce exclusive insights used to test and design performance shafts customized for the Tour and all levels of players of ages, skills and handicaps.
Fujikura 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.
