Innovative Rombax Technology Drives Commanding Leadership Position
(Vista, CA – May 30, 2008) Fujikura has dominated the driver shaft brand count on the PGA and LPGA Tour this week. The brand was played in more drivers than its two leading competitors combined at the Memorial Tournament. At the Ginn Tribute, Fujikura shafts were played in more drivers than its four leading competitors combined.
“Our dominant leadership at these two important tournaments significantly validates that Fujikura shafts improve the performance of the world’s top players,” says Dave Schnider, President and COO of Fujikura. “As we head soon to the next major, our innovative Rombax material and design technology is clearly the preeminent shaft choice for these leading Tour professionals in 2008.”
“These commanding wins are especially fulfilling because these talented and discriminating players continue to respect the superior performance engineered by Fujikura’s innovative material design and technology in partnership with our premier OEM clubmakers,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative.
Fujikura was the #1 Driver shaft brand at 95% of all U.S. Tour events including the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours through the first quarter of 2008 competition. This includes winning the counts at the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours’ first major championships.
This dominant leadership position reinforces Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years. This position was highlighted by being the #1 Driver Shaft Brand at all four men’s majors in 2007 — The Masters, the U.S. Open Championship, the Open Championship and the PGA Championship. On the 2007 LPGA and Champions Tours, Fujikura was the #1 Driver and Wood Shaft brand at their respective U.S. major championships.
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.
