(FORT WORTH, TX) – UST Mamiya – maker of the world’s finest carbon fiber golf shafts – confirms the winner of the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship relied on its Proforce V2 shafts in his 19-degree and 22-degree hybrids (89 gram, x-flex).
This win represents the company’s 11th on the PGA Tour this season, with the champion capturing the title on the final hole at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. Globally, UST Mamiya shaft users have recorded 20 victories during 2010, with wins coming on the PGA, PGA European, Nationwide, Champions, PGA European Senior and Asian Tours.
“Our shafts continue to be find their way into the winners circle both domestically and abroad, as more and more Tour players realize the vast benefits of switching to UST Mamiya,” says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. “Being confident in your equipment and trusting that it will optimize performance is essential to succeed. Our shafts deliver that confidence.”
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.
