New Motore Shaft Drives Leadership; Pros Using Doubles in Two Weeks
(Vista, CA – February 9, 2009) Fujikura was the #1 Driver and Wood Shaft brand which includes hybrids at the Buick Invitational, with the brand’s new Motore Series driving its leading position as pros using the new shaft doubled in the last two weeks.
“These wins are very exciting because we continue to lead in the important counts with premier players,” says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “I’m especially thrilled because the new Motore is gaining momentum every week with 14 pros now playing this new, breakthrough shaft. These numbers clearly demonstrates Fujikura’s special understanding of the needs and goals of these talented players and how to use our advanced technology, materials and designs to improve their performance.”
“Our entire team is pumped about leading these counts so early in the season, especially considering the recent introduction and success of Motore,” says Mike Sposa, Fujikura Tour Representative. “Frankly, I am not surprised because our R&D and Tour team worked hard and closely with Tour pros and our OEM partners to develop and produce this superior performance shaft. I can’t wait to work at the AT&T at Pebble because I know more pros and the amateurs there will start playing the new Motore.”
Fujikura is building its Tour leadership position with the introduction of the new Motore Series, introduced on Tour in January and at the PGA Merchandise Show last week. The new shafts have been put in play by 14 Tour pros already this year. They are available through Fujikura’s Charter Dealers across the United States and around the world now.
The Motore Series shafts feature Fujikura’s proprietary and proven H.I.T. which stores more energy during the downswing and releases the energy just before impact, while maintaining the stability of the entire club. The result is greater distance and accuracy in all clubs. Motore’s “smart” shaping of the tip enables these benefits while minimizing weight, allowing the tip end to accelerate faster than conventional tips.
Fujikura’s Tour leadership was highlighted by being the leading driver shaft brand at all the Tour majors in 2008. The brand’s dominant leadership position reinforces Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years.
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.
