CHICAGO, IL, JULY 20, 2015: OBAN’s popular Kiyoshi shafts continue to deliver results on Tour with an impressive win and 2nd place finish at the Web.com Stonebrae Classic tournament held at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward, California this past weekend. The 20-year old South Korean champion played a Kiyoshi Black 65 X in his TaylorMade AeroBurner driver and Kiyoshi Black 85 X in his TaylorMade AeroBurner 3-wood. After his final round 2-under 68 landed him in a 3-way tie for 1st, he birdied the first play off hole to emerge victorious. Finishing tied for 2nd place, the 27-year old California native played OBAN’s newly released Kiyoshi HB 75 high balance shaft in his Nike Pro driver.
“It turned out to be a great week for OBAN at Stonebrae,” commented Josh Shook, OBAN Tour Representative. “We had 4 top tens, 2 of those ending up in a playoff, and 2 shafts in the winner’s bag. All in all we had 27 shafts in play, including 5 Kiyoshi HB’s.
OBAN’s newly released Kiyoshi HB (High Balance) affords custom fitters a wider range of options for optimizing club head weight and shaft length combinations that deliver greater speed and distance. OBAN engineers moved the shaft’s CG (center of gravity) toward the grip end of the club, creating a prime counter balance effect. The shaft design preserves symmetry and stability throughout the golf swing, maximizing energy transfer to the ball at impact. OBAN’s Kiyoshi Black was designed using a straight taper profile. The shaft utilizes OBAN’s exclusive Emersion Wrapped Frequency (EWF) Technology, a lower torque, and extra stiffness in the butt section of the shaft to offer a low spin and a mid-launch trajectory.
