PGA and Champions tour winners rely on Proforce V2 shafts
(FORT WORTH, TX) – UST Mamiya – maker of the world’s finest carbon-fiber golf shafts – confirms the winners of the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open and Champions Tour’s Regions Charity Classic relied on its Proforce V2 shafts.
Recording the company’s seventh PGA Tour victory this season, the Valero Texas Open champion played the popular shaft model in his driver (86-gram, x-flex) and two fairway woods (96-gram, x-flex).
Also utilizing Proforce V2 shafts, the winner of the Regions Charity Classic recorded three rounds in the 60s to claim the company’s 14th worldwide win this season. UST Mamiya users have captured titles on the PGA, PGA European, Champions, Nationwide and PGA European Senior Tours in 2010.
“Both of these outstanding performances were highlighted by great ball striking that lead to scoring opportunities,” says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. “Our technologically advanced shafts are known for providing tremendous distance and accuracy, as well as the consistent reliability trusted by a substantial and growing number of the world’s best players.”
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 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.
