(Vista, CA – March 13, 2009) Fujikura has won the Driver, all Woods and Hybrid shaft brand counts at the Puerto Rico Open this week.
Fujikura’s new Motore F1 Series is driving its leadership position as 16 shafts were in play in drivers, woods and hybrids at the tournament.
“We’re excited to lead these important counts and to see more of our new MotoreF1 shafts being played each tournament,” says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “This leadership position continues to validate that the Motore F1 is the hottest, fastest growing shaft brand on the PGA Tour as well as becoming the hottest, fastest growing shaft in golf.”
“The Motore F1 series is making a major impact on Tour, and the pros playing this breakthrough shaft proves the powerful partnership between Fujikura and our OEM to create and product these superior performance clubs,” says Mike Sposa, Fujikura Tour Representative and former PGA Tour pro.
The new Motore series shafts are available now through Fujikura’s Charter Dealers across the United States and around the world.
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.
