CHICAGO, IL, JUNE 15, 2016: OBAN’s popular Kiyoshi shafts continue to garner accolades on Tour, posting Top 10 performances in Memphis, Ivanhoe and Philadelphia over the weekend. Playing a Kiyoshi HB high balance shaft in his TaylorMade M1 driver, the 44-year-old Fort Worth, Texas native fired a final round 66 to finish in 6th place at TPC Southwind.
At Ivanhoe, the 33-year-old California native used a Kiyoshi Purple in his Ping driver finishing four strokes back to tie for 6th, and the 35-year-old Spaniard swung a Kiyoshi Black 75 in his TaylorMade 3 and 5-wood ending up in a tie for 9th.
At Philadelphia Cricket Club, the 52-year-old Spaniard shot a final round 68 playing a Kiyoshi Gold in his Ping driver to finish tied for 2nd, one shot behind the leader.
OBAN’s 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. The shaft design preserves symmetry and stability throughout the golf swing, maximizing energy transfer to the ball at impact.
Kiyoshi Purple’s unique structure delivers high launch and low spin for longer distance and tighter dispersion. The shaft is fabricated using OBAN’s revolutionary Emersion Wrapped Frequency (EWF) Technology, enabling significantly improved torque control, bend points, and stability with less ovalization.
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.
OBAN’s Kiyoshi Gold was designed to complement the performance characteristics of the new low spin driver heads. The Kiyoshi Gold has an active bend profile that allows for high launch and mid spin characteristics.
