BELLINGHAM, Wash. – SteelFiber graphite iron shafts, designed and manufactured by Aerotech Golf, delivered a share of second-place at the Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic on the LPGA Tour.
Playing SteelFiber J108 graphite shafts in her irons, the Bangkok-born runner-up fired off four birdies in the fourth round to join two other players in a sudden death playoff. The SteelFiber J-series is a private label iron shaft specifically developed for Aerotech Golf distributor and clubfitter Big Fish Golf out of Singapore. The winner of the 2013 LPGA Rookie of the Year award also played the SteelFiber J-Series in her irons.
“The increasing popularity of the SteelFiber line among international players is a testament to the unique performance benefits of these innovative graphite iron shafts,” says Chris Hilleary, president of Aerotech Golf. “SteelFiber shafts combine the power of graphite with the stability of steel. The SteelFiber design and material engineering is true game-changing innovation that gives greater vibration dampening and reduces player fatigue, while simultaneously providing the consistency, accuracy and stability that players have traditionally attributed to steel shafts.”
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.
Last year, SteelFiber shafts delivered seven wins – three on the PGA Tour and two each on the Champions and LPGA Tours. The previous tour season was equally successful with SteelFiber chalking up five wins on the PGA TOUR and two more on the Champions Tour. Players with SteelFiber shafts routinely rank high on the PGA Money List, Official World Golf Rankings and the FedEx Cup Season Points. In 2013, for example, SteelFiber players ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the FedEx Cup Season Points and ended overall as No. 3 and No. 5 on the PGA Money List.
