UST Mamiya Wins at Deutsche Bank
FORT WORTH, Texas - Sept. 8, 2009 - Banking on the high performance attributes of the popular Proforce brand, this years champion of the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston trusted a UST Mamiya Proforce V2 86g extra-stiff flex shaft in his Titleist driver, Proforce V2 96g extra-stiff flex shaft in his Titleist fairway wood and Proforce V2 Tour Hybrid 104g extra-stiff shaft in his Titleist hybrid to deliver superior consistency and accuracy to finish with back-to-back birdies for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot victory Monday. The champion during the final round hit 86 percent of fairways and averaged 301 yards in distance.
The champion has been playing the Proforce V2 shafts in his driver and fairway wood the past three years with great success. The second shot on the final hole with the hybrid was struck with confidence, solid from 243 yards. And thats exactly how he flighted it on the range earlier in the week.
The shot-enhancing benefits and low-torque characteristics of the Proforce V2 Series have received industry acclaim for optimizing performance of todays oversized driver heads. The modern trend toward larger driver and fairway wood heads has increased hit-ability for many golfers, but the center of gravity (CG) of most larger clubheads is positioned further away from the center line of the shaft, a design trait which places more stress and causes more twisting on the shaft. The V2s low torque design provides the power and control needed for todays larger clubheads. Also, because the low-torque V2 prevents clubheads from twisting open on impact, the V2 reduces the amount of back spin imparted onto the ball and tightens shot dispersion.
AXIV technology in the latest Proforce, the Proforce AXIVCore Series, is a UST Mamiya exclusive, proprietary process of weaving specific high-modulus carbon fibers in the critical four axis directions necessary in shaft design to optimize stiffness, hoop strength, and torsional resistance, all in a single ply. The AXIV material resists deformation allowing the shaft to maintain consistent symmetry. The Proforce AXIVCore Series feature Blue, Tour Black, Tour Red models, and are now available in multiple weights and flexes to fit various swing profiles. The Blue is for the player seeking additional spin for longer carry distance, while the Tour Black is for the player seeking high launch, low spin and more ball speed. The Tour Red is for those players needing a very stable shaft that produces a penetrating ball flight with low spin. These counter-balanced models also reduce club heft to help players generate more clubhead speed for more ball speed resulting in longer drives.
High performance UST Mamiya graphite shafts are trusted by some of the worlds top players, including UST Mamiya staff players Stewart Cink, Davis Love III and Rod Pampling.
