PROLAUNCH BLUE WINS XEROX CLASSIC
3-TIME NATIONWIDE CHAMPION EARNS PROMOTION TO PGA TOUR

August 21, 2007

Memphis, TN…With a win at last week’s Xerox Classic in Rochester, N.Y., Grafalloy claimed its sixth Nationwide Tour title of the year and second in as many weeks. Last week’s champion at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic claimed a one-stroke victory using Comp NT in his fairway wood, while this week’s winner trusted ProLaunch Blue to come from seven shots back on Sunday.

The champion overpowered the field with a 7-under par 63 to win more than just a paycheck. With his third victory this year on the Nationwide Tour, the winner played his way into full status on the PGA Tour benefiting from the three-win “battlefield” promotion. He is the first player to earn such a promotion since 2005.

Developed to optimize launch conditions in today’s oversized driver designs, ProLaunch Blue incorporates Grafalloy’s proprietary Micro-Mesh™ tip technology to strike the perfect balance of 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 the ProLaunch series of shafts including the new ProLaunch Red visit www.grafalloy.com.

Comp NT, the winner at the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic, features carbon nanotube technology offering increased strength with improved alignment of the carbon fibers in the shaft for premium material consistency, improved shot dispersion, and maximum distance. Grafalloy has since taken nanotechnology to the next level with the Epic shaft featuring proprietary Nanofuse material.
