PACOIMA,
Calif. -- Winning second- and third-place on the
PGA Tour, Harrison reaped a bountiful harvest at
the Southern Farm Bureau Classic at the Annandale
Golf Club. Harrison graphite shafts delivered reliable
consistency and accuracy for three of the Top Five
players and four of the Top 10 overall.
While
this week's runner-up used a Harrison Pro
2.5 shaft in his driver, the third-place contender
-- and two-time U.S. Open champion -- played a Harrison
Impulse
shaft in his hybrid club. The fifth-place and eighth-place
Harrison players used Pro
1.4 and a Pro
2.5 shafts, respectively.
"With
four of the Top 10 players at the Southern Farm
Bureau Classic, this is one of Harrison's biggest
weeks of the year and another strong showing for
the Pro
2.5 model," says Mike Cheng, president
of Harrison Sports. "The Pro
2.5 shaft is well-known for giving players increased
distance and greater accuracy, and it features one
of the lowest overall torques in Harrison's line
of high-performance shafts."
The
Pro
2.5 has been used to score more than 200 Top
10s on the PGA Tour, seven World Long Drive championships
wins. A logical contrast to the popular stiff tip
design, the Pro
2.5's high performance construction fused with
a mid tip stiffness to make it easier to get the
ball air borne
|
is
an ideal shaft for golfers who seek a high degree
of accuracy and playability. It is ideally suited
for the 460cc driver that is so popular today.
New
for 2006, Harrison's Impulse
Hybrid shaft incorporates a patent-pending Inlay
Titanium Matrix, a thin layer of titanium wrapped
around the shaft's tip section to increase stability,
reduce shaft torque and to dramatically improve
accuracy. Hybrid-design clubs must often withstand
more stress at impact due to turf contact, so enhanced
stability is a critical design factor for shafts
to resist impact distortion. The Harrison Impulse
shaft also possesses a lower balance point and produces
a higher launch angle to more easily get the ball
airborne. Impulse shafts are available as a fairway
wood or utility iron.
