Harrison Claims Fourth and
Fifth Place at Masters

4-18-03

Harrison scored two more top-10 finishes at the long and accuracy-demanding Augusta National in the 2003 Masters. The fourth place finisher shot a final round 68. The fifth placed player overcame two disastrous holes at Augusta, his first top-10 of the year. Without those two holes, the third-round leader would have shot a five-under 67 and won.

Jim McLean, the most-frequent host of the Golf Channel's Academy Live teaching programs, coached Len Mattiace to his second place finish in the Masters. McLean was a PGA Teacher of the Year and is consistently rated among the top golf instructors in the world. McLean has a passion for both teaching and the technology of golf. In December 2002, McLean entered into a partnership with Harrison to co-design a line of golf shafts carrying his name. The first child of this partnership is the Harrison Striper J shaft. In its debut week, the Striper J was used to win the Toshiba Senior Classic. It has since become the fastest growing shaft on the PGA and Champions Tours.

"The shaft is the engine. I've watched my students improve dramatically once the correct shaft is put into their clubs," McLean said, "However, with the popularity of over-sized drivers, I have seen, with increasing frequency, shafts' inability to cope with the extra load and as a result produces poor performance. The Striper J shaft has a soft, low-torque tip and a firm butt. It is built with integrated titanium filaments for fast recovery. The design works like a cross bow pulled taut to generate a strong kick for added distance. The super low-torque graphite at the tip works to enhance accuracy. The Striper J is an ideal shaft for an over-sized driver."

 

The fourth placed golfer who also finished fourth in his previous outing, the Tournament Players' Championship, leads the 2003 PGA Tour in top-10 finishes with seven, placing him in the top five of the 2003 PGA Tour money list. The fourth place finisher uses the Harrison Pro 1.8 Tour shaft in his 3 wood, frequently used as his driver. The distance and accuracy of the shaft propelled him to a glorious 2003 season.

In addition to his leading the 2003 PGA Tour in top-10 finishes and fifth place ranking on the money list with more than $1.7 million earned this year, he is also first in eagles and holds second place rankings in driving accuracy and greens in regulation.

The Harrison shaft user who finished fifth place at the Masters jumped to 45th place on the 2003 PGA Tour money list. He ranks 14th in driving accuracy. He uses the Harrison Pro 1.8 XL95 shaft in his driver and 3 wood.

Made from boron-reinforced X-6200 graphite, the 95-gram shaft has 1.8-degree torque and a high flex point. The Harrison's XL95 series are made for highly skilled players who place a premium on true feel. They produce the lowest torque and tightest possible shot dispersion.

So far this season, Harrison has recorded 28 top-10 finishes on the PGA and Champions Tours. Harrison shafts have been used to win 19 tour victories and more than 140 top-10 finishes.

Harrison shafts are hand crafted in the U.S.A. with the finest American made materials. Whether for PGA professionals or every day golfers, Harrison shafts are made to the same exacting specifications. The innovative design and the dynamic characteristics of Harrison shafts are matched to a player's swing to optimize his/her performance and playing enjoyment.
