BELLINGHAM, Wash. – SteelFiber graphite iron shafts, designed and manufactured by Aerotech Golf, delivered Top Five finishes on two professional tours this weekend. SteelFiber shafts scored T4 and T8 finishes at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship on the LPGA Tour; and a T3 at the ISPS Handa Global Cup on the Japan Tour.
Using SteelFiber i80 graphite shafts in her irons, the 2013 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year winner’s gained her first Top Five finish of the season, and the No. 10-ranked CME player on the LPGA Tour also played SteelFiber i80 shafts for a T8 finish at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Meanwhile at the ISPS Handa Global Cup, SteelFiber i110 shafts claimed an equal share of third-place.
“SteelFiber graphite iron shafts continue to collect top money on all the world tours, and it’s very rewarding to see more and more professionals embracing this game-changing technology.,” says Chris Hilleary, president of Aerotech Golf. “Unlike traditional steel shafts, SteelFiber shafts allow players to play their best for longer periods of time and finish stronger. SteelFiber’s innovative performance benefits provide golfers with greater vibration dampening, reduced player fatigue, and increased distance.”
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 delivered seven wins – three on the PGA Tour and two each on the Champions and LPGA Tours. The previous year 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.
