PROLAUNCH RED #1 GRAPHITE SHAFT ON NATIONAL TOUR

June 25, 2007

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With 19 shafts in play at last week’s Legend Financial Group Classic, ProLaunch Red has staked its claim as the number one graphite shaft model on the Nationwide Tour.  The shaft enjoyed immediate success claiming 7 championships on the global major tours in a 5-week stretch following its introduction and now has 14 titles to its credit. 

“ProLaunch Red has won more tournaments and enjoyed greater usage much faster than any other shaft in recent memory,” states Craig Nichols, Nationwide Tour Manager for True Temper Sports.  “The way things are going it’s likely that we may be just scratching the surface as each success fuels greater interest in the shaft by other players.” 

Developed for players seeking a flatter, penetrating trajectory, ProLaunch Red combines the launch monitor tuned performance of ProLaunch technology with key performance attributes from the original ProLite 35, the most popular ultralite shaft of all-time.  The shaft incorporates Grafalloy’s proprietary Micro-Mesh™ tip technology to strike the perfect balance of tip stiffness, stability and spin control while preserving critical feel for valuable feedback.  The shaft can be found through all major aftermarket distributors and top OEM’s.  For more information on other Grafalloy products, call 800.355.8783 or visit www.grafalloy.com.
