Harrison Sports, Inc., began its quest
to develop the perfect graphite golf shaft in 1988. The company,
based in Pacoima, Calif., is succeeding by producing shafts that
consistently are among the best rated for distance, accuracy, value
and customer satisfaction. Harrison Shafts, all American made from
the finest in graphite, titanium and boron materials, have secured
their place among the top five of the most-used graphite shafts
in the world. Their quality is evidenced by the growing use of Harrison
shafts among touring professional golfers and long-drive competitors
around the world.
In 2003, Harrison Shafts continued
its development efforts by adding the expertise of renowned teaching
professional Jim McLean as a consultant to the company's expert
engineers. McLean, host of the Golf Channel Academy Live, an instructor
to many successful touring professionals, and proprietor of five
teaching academies across the United States, will endorse and design
Harrison Shafts. The first release was the Harrison Striper J, a
graphite shaft with integrated titanium that minimizes shaft twisting
during the golf swing.
Harrison's technical superiority can
be seen in its Pro 2.5 Titanium and Pro
2.5 Low Launch shafts. Harrison's engineers use the best materials
and innovative designs to produce shafts that reduce shaft lag,
which help to reduce hooks and slices while adding distance. Harrison

and tuned spin rate. Harrison shafts promote tighter shot dispersion,
greater distance, and accuracy. Harrison has enhanced uniformity
and tightened the frequency among its iron shafts, which meet the
requirement for consistency demanded by custom golf clubmakers worldwide.
