Grafalloy's ProLaunch Dominates Champions Tour Final Major
ProLite Claims US Amateur Championship

August 29, 2005

Week in and out, Grafalloy continues to solidify its position as a leading premium graphite shaft on tour and this week was no exception. As the final Champion's Tour major, the JELD-WEN Tradition, rolled into Oregon this weekend Grafalloy shafts were seemingly everywhere. ProLaunch continued to expand its dominant presence with nearly twice as many shafts in play as the nearest competitor. In addition, ProLaunch HY was also the preferred hybrid wood shaft by a 2-1 margin. Overall Grafalloy Shafts dominated the event with 69 wood shafts in play.

Over at the U.S. Amateur Championship it was more of the same as the game's elite amateurs relied on Grafalloy wood shafts to compete for the most prestigious amateur title in the world. Trusting ProLite in his driver, the 24-year old US Amateur champion overcame an early deficit and became the first Italian to claim the title. This victory earns the young champion exemptions into the U.S. Open and Masters Tournaments next year. Overall there were an impressive 91 Grafalloy shafts put into play at the event.

ProLaunch's trajectory-optimizing design is among Grafalloy's most popular shafts on all major tours each week. Featuring a proprietary Micro-Meshâ„¢ tip section and launch monitor tuned technology, ProLaunch promotes optimal launch conditions for increased distance off the tee.
