Winner and four other top-eight finishers at The Players Championship rely on company’s famed shafts
(FORT WORTH, TX) – UST Mamiya – maker of the world’s finest carbon-fiber golf shafts – confirms the winner and four other top-eight finishers at the PGA Tour’s THE PLAYERS Championship relied on its performance driven shafts.
Continuing the trend of strong showings for UST Mamiya users, the champion played the IROD CB 90 model (x-flex, 90 gram) in his hybrid. This victory represents the company’s sixth on the PGA Tour and 12th worldwide this season, capturing wins on the PGA European, Nationwide and PGA European Senior Tours.
“A substantial and growing number of professional golfers have turned to our shafts to optimize performance,” says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. “Our technologically advanced and reliable products yield incredible benefits in distance and accuracy that have led to continued global success.”
The IROD hybrid shaft features Interlinked Carbon that produces excellent hoop strength and solid feel. Utilizing the company’s famous “tip technology,” performance and consistency are maximized.
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 late last year, 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.
