(Vista, CA – August 19, 2013)- Fujikura golf shafts were the most played shafts on the Champions Tour this past weekend and were played by the winner of the News Sentinel Open on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, birdieing five of the last seven holes for a one-stroke victory. Second place also had all Fujikura in his bag.
In other Fujikura news, the company has confirmed the re-launch of the infamous Speeder757, which is considered to be the most iconic and sought after shaft in shaft brand history. It quickly became the #1 shaft brand on the PGA Tour and has never left the tour since it’s debut in 1998, earning the nickname, “the winningest shaft on tour” for well over a decade.
Fujikura marketing manager, Stephanie Hartgraves confirmed that the shaft will be available at Fujikura Charter Dealers in October and that the MSRP will be $350. She also gave a statement regarding what players can expect from the new Speeder’s performance. “The new Motore Speeder757 (and other 3 profiles available) makes more use of our proprietary Triax Core technology. We have been able to engineer a new structure that has allowed placement of our Triax three-directional woven graphite material on the inside layer of the shaft, which produces faster coil and uncoil. How does this translate into benefits for the golfer you ask? Unparalleled SPEED and STABILITY.” Hartgraves smiled and suggested, “Your only dilemma will be letting go of the original.”
About the Winning Shafts
The Motore Speeder – With efficient energy transfer and enhanced structural stability from 7-Axis Technology, the Motore Speeder allows you to swing with confidence. That’s because the uniform reinforcement provided by our Quadra Axis Composite and Triax woven material helps you return the head more consistently to impact. This translates into longer and straighter drives. That’s why the Speeder brand has won more events than any other shaft in tour history.
FUEL can be defined as material with stored energy that can later be used to generate power. Just like a high performance engine that burns high-octane fuel for more horsepower and torque, your shaft can perform the same way – using advanced technology as its fuel. With FUEL, you can see where your energy is coming from through our proprietary FUEL ROD TECHNOLOGY, created with a COMBUSTION CHAMBER and LOAD INJECTOR TIP. FUEL uniquely utilizes this technology to generate greater distance and accuracy on a more consistent basis. With this shaft, your power is on display for everyone to see.
