BELLINGHAM, Wash. – The No. 1 graphite iron shafts in golf, SteelFiber shafts designed and manufactured by Aerotech Golf chalked up a Top Five finish at the ANA Inspiration, the first Major event of the 2015 LPGA Tour season. SteelFiber shafts tied for fourth and were also played by four players in the Top 20.
Playing SteelFiber i95 graphite shafts in her irons, the Swedish-born LPGA veteran shot seven-under par – 71-72 -69-69 (281) – for a T4 finish. The event marks the 42nd Top 10 finish of her career, and she has earned four victories and more than $4.67 million on the LPGA Tour.
“We’re very excited by the growing presence of SteelFiber shafts on the LPGA Tour and the other pro tours around the world,” says Chris Hilleary, president of Aerotech Golf. “Professional golfers rely on extreme shaft performance week after week, shot after shot. The fact that more pros than ever before are playing SteelFiber graphite iron shafts is a real testament to the accuracy, consistency and stability of SteelFiber 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 collected 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.
