BELLINGHAM, Wash. – SteelFiber shafts, designed and manufactured by Aerotech Golf, delivered another victory this weekend, this time topping the leader board at the Toshiba Classic. In addition to the win, the No. 1 graphite iron shafts on the PGA and Champions Tours claimed two Top Five money positions, with two other players tying for fifth.
Playing SteelFiber i110cw shafts in his irons, the Toshiba Classic champion fired off birdies in the final two holes to claim a one-stroke victory and his 10th Champions Tour title. Ranking No. 1 in total birdies for the event, he shot a 65-67-66 (198) to finish at 15-under at Newport Beach Country Club. He is currently in second-place in Charles Schwab Cup points.
“We congratulate this weekend’s champion at the Toshiba Classic on a great victory,” says Aerotech Golf President Chris Hilleary. “Unlike traditional steel shafts, whose designs have been relatively unchanged for the past 80 years, SteelFiber shafts deliver game-changing innovation by incorporating high-modulus graphite and micro-thin steel fibers. The combination gives the added power of graphite while still maintaining the stability and consistency normally associated with steel shafts. It’s the undeniably the next evolution in iron shafts, and it’s a proven winner on pro tours.”
In 2013, players with SteelFiber shafts in their irons won five events on the PGA TOUR and two events on the Champions Tour. In addition, players with SteelFiber shafts ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the FedEx Cup Season Points at the end of the regular season. SteelFiber shafts were also No. 6 and No. 12 in FedEx Cup Playoff Points; and ended 2013 overall as No. 3 and No. 5 on the PGA Money List; Nos. 8 and 9 in official world rankings; and tied for first and fourth 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. The shaft’s graphite core provides vibration dampening, increased clubhead speed and maximum distance, while the steel fibers produce optimum weighting for a solid feel at impact and add stability and control for pinpoint accuracy.
