PROLITE WINS BRITISH OPEN

July 23, 2007

Memphis, TN…The winner of The Open Championship claimed his first major title in dramatic style by winning a four-hole playoff at Carnoustie in Scotland.  With ProLite 35 in his driver, he managed his way to a 4-under par 67 on the final day, then claimed the coveted Claret Jug with an impressive even par effort in the extra frames.     

With ProLite 35 in his bag, the winner carried a strong pedigree to this year’s Open Championship.  ProLite 35 has more professional titles to its credit than any other graphite wood shaft in history.  The tip-stiff, low-torque design produces a low piercing ball flight which worked well for the champion on the links course in typical British Open conditions.  

In other tour news, Grafalloy products continue to dominate play on the Nationwide Tour.  This week at the Price Cutter Charity Championship in Springfield, Missouri, Grafalloy boasted eighteen (18) ProLaunch Reds and twelve (12) Epic shafts in play over the weekend.  “The momentum of the Grafalloy products is incredible. ProLaunch Red has been the number one shaft on the Nationwide Tour for several weeks running and the new Epic shaft is certainly gaining strength,” says Chad Hall, director of marketing for True Temper Sports. 

The revolutionary technology in the Epic shaft features molecular nano-crystalline metals creating a product with incredible strength to weight properties.  The Epic shaft offers the weight and feel of graphite for explosive distance, and as much as a 35% improvement in shot dispersion.  Visit www.epicshaft.com for more information about the new Epic shaft from Grafalloy.

Developed for players seeking a flatter, penetrating trajectory, ProLaunch Red combines the launch monitor tuned performance of ProLaunch technology with 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. 

ProLaunch Red, Epic, and Prolite 35 are a few of the many Grafalloy products which can be found through all major aftermarket distributors and top OEM’s.  For more information on these or other Grafalloy products, call 800.355.8783 or visit www.grafalloy.com.
