(Vista, CA – May 26, 2009) Fujikura has won the Driver Shaft Brand and the All Wood count (which includes the hybrid models) this past week at the Sr. PGA Championship. Additionally, Fujikura was the #1 Driver Shaft Brand at the HP Byron Nelson Championship.
“It was another great week on tour for us. Having winners of the Sr. PGA and Byron Nelson using our shafts made it exceptionally rewarding,” says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “Motore F1 continues to be our most popular model on the PGA Tour week in – week out.”
“The Motore F1 series continues to perform at the highest level. We had three Motore F1 Drivers and a total of six Motore shafts played by Top 10 finisher, ” says Mike Sposa, Fujikura Tour Representative and former PGA Tour pro. Sposa continued, “having the winner of the Byron Nelson choose to use our Motore shaft on clutch tee shots down the stretch was great validation of the confidence that Tour players have in our Motore line.”
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.
