BELLINGHAM, Wash. – One week after winning the Sanderson Farm Championship, SteelFiber shafts by Aerotech Golf once again demonstrated the power of graphite and the stability of steel on the PGA TOUR. SteelFiber i95 shafts claimed the $1 million-plus victory at the RBC Canadian Open as well as a share of second-place.
Playing SteelFiber i95 shafts in his irons, the Canadian Open champion won his second PGA TOUR title of the year, winning with 16-under-par, three-stroke victory. He is now third in the FedExCup standings, and is in good position to be the first reigning FedEx Cup champion to defend his title at the TOUR Championship. Meanwhile, a runner-up at the Canadian Open earned a share of second-place, playing SteelFiber shafts in his Bridgestone irons.
“It’s a difficult challenge to win on the PGA TOUR, so receiving back-to-back wins on TOUR is incredible. We’re very excited with the results and we offer our sincere congratulations to the new Canadian Open champion and the runner-up who trust their game to SteelFiber shafts,” says Aerotech Golf President Chris Hilleary. “The SteelFiber i95 is a great transition into a lighter weight iron shaft without going too light and substantially changing the feel of the club during the swing. The 95-gram weight provides good improvement in distance, while still maintaining accuracy and consistency.”
SteelFiber’s composite iron shaft technology continues to provide unique performance benefits every week on the PGA TOUR. Currently, SteelFiber shafts are No. 2 and No. 3 in the FedEx Cup Standings; No. 3 and No. 4 in the Money List; Nos. 6 and 7 in official world rankings; and tied for first and third in Top 10 finishes.
SteelFiber shafts provide superior performance through innovative composite engineering that combines a high-modulus graphite core with 59 miles of steel fiber lacing the shaft surface. While the shaft’s graphite core provides vibration dampening, increased clubhead speed and maximum distance, the steel fibers produce optimum weighting for a solid feel at impact and add stability and control for pinpoint accuracy.
Aerotech Golf shafts are available as custom options with many nationally celebrated golf club manufacturers such as Titleist, TaylorMade, Nike Golf, Bridgestone Golf, Cleveland Golf, Miura, Srixon, KZG, Nakashima and Scratch Golf. Aerotech Golf shafts are also available through professional golf clubfitters around the world.
