BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Aerotech Golf, maker of the No. 1 graphite iron shafts in golf, wrapped up 2015 by taking the top money at the Franklin Templeton Shootout on the PGA TOUR. Players with SteelFiber graphite iron shafts won first- and second-place.
At the Franklin Templeton Shootout, one half of the winning team played SteelFiber i95 graphite shafts in his irons to contribute to an impressive 30-under par combined score. A member of the second-place team also played SteelFiber i95 shafts in his Bridgestone irons. Meanwhile on the Web.com Tour, SteelFiber i125 shafts delivered a T5 finish at the Q-School.
“Winning first- and second-place at the Franklin Templeton Shootout is a great way to wrap up a record-breaking year for us,” says Chris Hilleary, president of Aerotech Golf. “SteelFiber graphite iron shafts are changing the way players think about their iron performance, and deliver unique performance benefits, such as greater vibration dampening, reduced player fatigue, increased yardage and unprecedented accuracy. We’re looking forward to another great year in 2016.”
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.
During the 2015 season, 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.
