CHICAGO, IL, APRIL 20, 2015: Launched in 2015, OBAN’s Isawa Red shaft achieves its first PGA tour victory at the RBC Heritage tournament held at the Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, SC this past weekend. The 44-year old winner played the Isawa Red 65 X shaft in his Callaway Big Bertha driver. Shooting a final round 63, the champion sunk a 12-foot putt on the second playoff hole to clinch his first PGA tour victory since 2010.
“We were all ecstatic over the win, especially since this was the first week he had the shaft in play,” commented Rich Parzych, OBAN PGA Tour Representative. “The winner was looking for a shaft with a penetrating ball flight and shallower land angle for improved run out and distance. The performance characteristics of the Isawa Red ended up being a perfect fit.” Released at the January PGA Merchandise Show, the Isawa Red was embraced early on by OBAN club fitters, and sales continue to surge. The shaft combines next generation design technology and exotic aerospace materials to deliver an exceptional level of consistency and performance. The Isawa is an active bend profile shaft, ideal for golfers seeking mid-high launch and low-mid ? spin characteristics. Oban’s proprietary multiplex technology (MPT) leverages the unique strength and flexibility of the latest high modulus aerospace exotics to optimize energy transfer to the ball at impact.
