CHICAGO, IL, JANUARY 12, 2011: The season opener on the PGA Tour saw a lot of excitement in the limited field of past 2010 Champions. After a two hole play-off, the runner-up of the 2011 PGA Tour’s Hyundai Tournament of Champions used the Oban Kiyoshi 75 X flex. The number 7 ranked player in the world finished 9th using the Oban Devotion 75 X. It was a great start of the year and Oban looks forward to carrying the momentum into 2011.
“We are excited to see the growing popularity of the Kiyoshi shaft, used by several marquee players this week,” reports Victor Afable, President of Oban Composites. “The Oban Kiyoshi was introduced to the PGA Tour only months ago and has already secured a significant win and several top 10 finishes. The Kiyoshi’s high launch and low spin ball flight characteristics coupled with the use of premium composite materials make it the perfect shaft for increased distance and tighter dispersion.”
The runner-up, using the Oban Kiyoshi, leads the PGA Tour (to date) in Scoring Average, GIR %, Eagles, Par Breakers and All Around Ranking. On the European Tour, Oban also had a great start with a top 10 finish at the Africa Open in East London South Africa.
The Oban Kiyoshi, utilizing EWF Technology, reveals design properties ideal for creating high launch and low spin performance for longer distance and tight dispersion.
