BELLINGHAM, Wash. – SteelFiber graphite iron shafts, the No. 1 graphite iron shafts in golf, were played by the winner of the American Family Insurance Championship on the Champions Tour. Designed and manufactured by Aerotech Golf, SteelFiber shafts scored their third win on the Champions Tour this season, as well as three Top 10s – including a T2 finish – this weekend at the Walmark NW Arkansas Championship on the LPGA Tour.
Playing SteelFiber i110s graphite shafts in his irons, the former World No. 1 player with 64 career wins – most notably the 1992 Masters Tournament and the 1984 and 1996 Players Championship – finished strong at the American Family Insurance Championship, shooting 67-68-66 (201) 15-under par for his second win of the 2017 season and 13th overall. On the LPGA Tour, SteelFiber i80 graphite iron shafts tripled down with three Top 10s which delivered T2, T6 and T10 money.
“We congratulate this weekend’s champion at the American Family Insurance Championship on another great victory,” says Chris Hilleary, president of Aerotech Golf. “Playing better for longer periods of time and finishing stronger are key benefits of SteelFiber graphite iron shafts. Unlike traditional steel shaft designs that have basically remained unchanged for more than 80 years, SteelFiber shafts delivers stability and increases distance, while they simultaneously reduce the risk of injury and decrease player fatigue. No matter your skill level, they are real game-changers.”
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 season, SteelFiber shafts delivered 20 wins on pro tours around the world as well as won the coveted CME Race for the Globe Trophy and 2016 Money Title on the LPGA 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. SteelFiber shafts won the highly prized FedEx Cup in 2012.
