For immediate release: 11-26-02

Harrison Shafts fantastic fall continued with sterling performances by several PGA Tour professionals who use Harrison Shafts in their clubs. The tournaments that follow the end of the regular professional tour seasons feature varied and unique formats at a variety of venues. The successes demonstrated at these tournaments prove that Harrison Shafts can benefit golfers in all tournament conditions.

Paul Azinger, playing in cold, damp and windy conditions on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2002, scored a 4&3 victory over Bernhard Langer on the final day of the UBS Warburg Cup to help the U.S. team retain its title 14_-9_ over a team representing the rest of the world. Conditions were tough at the Sea Island Course on St. Simon Island, Ga., during the competition in which half the field is aged 40-49 and the other half is over 50. Azinger's 3- and 4-woods are outfitted with the Harrison Pro 2.5 XL95 shaft. It is a 95-gram, boron-reinforced shaft made with X-5200 graphite, with 2.5-degrees torque and mid-high flex point.

Like all Harrison shafts, the XL95 series is made in America using the finest graphite materials available. Harrison's exacting manufacturing standards ensure quality. The XL95 series is aimed at the highly skilled player. They place a premium on providing true feel and shot making. The XL95 designs produce the lowest torque and tightest shot dispersion possible.

Jeff Maggert, who uses the Harrison Pro 1.8 XL95 shaft in his driver and 3-wood, teamed with John Huston to tie for second in the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout on Sunday, Nov. 24. The shaft is similar in design and playing characteristics to the Pro 2.5 XL95 used by Azinger, except it has 1.8-degrees torque and consists of XL-6200 graphite. Maggert and Huston led after the first round,

played in an alternate shot format at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Fla. Their Sunday scramble score tied them for second in the 12-team field and earned Maggert a share of $260,000.

Peter Lonard has the Harrison Pro 2.5 Titanium shaft in his driver and Striper Titanium in his 3-wood, which he used to pair with Rich Beem to win the Hyundai Team Matches PGA Tour division on Sunday, Nov. 17. The winners in the event played at the Golf Links at St. Regis Beach Resort and Spa, Dana Point, Calif., which included participants from the PGA, Senior PGA and LPGA Tours in team match play within their division, split $220,000. Harrison's Titanium Series shafts are designed for touring professionals to maximize control, stability, precision and distance. The Pro 2.5 Titanium is made with titanium-reinforced X-6200 graphite, with 2.5-degrees torque and a mid-high flex point. It weights 75 grams.

Mark Brooks claimed first place at the legendary Pebble Beach Golf Links in California in the 31st Annual Callaway Pebble Beach Invitational. Brooks birdied the last three holes on Sunday, Nov. 24, for a final round 69 and a four-round, 16-under par total of 272. The 1996 PGA champion won $60,000 over a field representing the four major North American professional tours. Senior and women participants were given a yardage advantage off the tee. Brooks' woods contain the Harrison Pro 2.5 UL70 shafts that are made with boron-reinforced X-6200 graphite, with 2.5-degrees torque and a mid-high flex point. The Ultra Lite Series shafts weigh 70 grams and provide optimal stability.

In 2002, Harrison Shafts have set new standards for success on professional golf tours worldwide, including seven victories, one of which was a Senior PGA Tour major championship.
