Based on a tour proven design platform, PROFORCE shafts appeal to professional, amateur and recreational golfers alike. With successive versions of PROFORCE V2, PROFORCE AXIVCORE and PROFORCE VTS – the PROFORCE franchise continues to win on professional tours worldwide.

“Our grip line-up for 2014 meets the needs of our most demanding customers. We’ve embraced Gripology and the science of feel to create a family of high performance grips,” says Robb Schikner, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

During that time, golf professionals around the world have recorded hundreds, if not thousands of victories, including multiple wins on every major tour.
