(FORT WORTH, TX) – UST Mamiya – maker of superiorly-designed and technologically-advanced graphite golf-club shafts – confirms the winner of the PGA Tour of Australasia’s Australian Open relied on its Proforce V2 shafts in his driver (86-gram X-flex) and two fairway woods (96-gram X-flex).
Continuing the trend of strong showings for UST Mamiya shaft users, the winner recorded three rounds in the 60s en route to a dominating five-shot victory at the New South Wales Golf Club.
“The course difficulty and strong international field made it essential to secure good position off the tee for scoring opportunities,” says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. “The winner depended on UST Mamiya shafts for powerful and accurate shots to separate him from the competition.”
The Proforce V2 is designed for players seeking a flatter, more penetrating ball flight. It features a firm tip section that promotes medium launch and increased ball speed for optimum distance. Its low-torque design prevents the clubhead from twisting on impact, reduces back spin and tightens shot dispersion. Like all UST Mamiya shafts, the Proforce V2 uses superior materials and design to produce a very stable and consistent platform.
Likened to the precision of automaker Lexus, all UST Mamiya carbon-fiber shafts are unrivaled in quality attributed to world-class engineering, premium-selected raw materials and handcrafted, repeatable production techniques. Tight tolerances, constant taper design and low-resin content enhance feel during the golf swing.
UST Mamiya produces 35 shaft models within the ATTAS and Proforce product lines:
• ATTAS – Introduced in Japan in early 2009 and in North America last month, this premium shaft was immediately adopted by Tour players globally. Innovatively engineered with smooth-bending properties throughout the shaft’s constant taper design, more energy is transferred to the ball for instant feedback with greater distance. Ultra-thin carbon fibers optimize feel and allow the shaft to maintain its shape for consistent, accurate shots. ATTAS is distinguished by its tri-color look, notably its atomic orange.
• Proforce – Famous for its bright gold color and contributing to multiple major-tournament victories, Proforce shafts have been UST Mamiya’s flagship since winning the 1999 Masters. The V2 incorporates the company’s original “tip technology,” masterfully balancing torque, weight, spin and launch angle for extraordinary power off the tee. The latest in the Proforce series, the AXIVCore features four-axis material promoting stability, control and ease of swing for increased ball speed.
