Vince Ciurluini, Los Angeles, Calif., used the Harrison Pro 2.5 Ti Tip shaft as the engine to propel a drive 357 yards and win the season-opening qualifying school of the Long Drivers of America (LDA). In addition to gaining full LDA playing privileges, Ciurluini took home the $1,200 first place check from the competition in Mesquite, Nevada. He already holds an exemption for the 2003 ReMax World Long Drive Championships.

The Harrison Pro 2.5 long drive series shafts promote a long drive tuned launch angles, a lower spin rate, and a very tighter shot dispersion. Long drivers appreciate the optimized launch angle that helps the ball carry further and roll longer.

The Harrison Pro 2.5 Ti Tip is engineered to have the tightest tip torque profile available on the market. It is made from Titanium-reinforced X-7200 graphite. It has a 2.5-degrees torque, carries a high flex point, weighs 85 grams, and is 52-inches long.

"Harrison Sports congratulates Vince Ciurluini on his Q-school victory," Harrison Sports President Michael Cheng said. "Harrison Shafts set the standard for long driving. They have been used to win seven of the last 10 World Long Drive Championships."

"Vince's victory continues to demonstrate that our shafts are engineered to help golfers hit their drives long and straight. We will continue to experiment with new engineering designs that we hope will gain more wins for Harrison LDA tour players."

Harrison Sports, Inc., of Pocoima, Calif., is one of the world's leading manufacturers of graphite golf shafts. Its American made shafts are crafted of the finest graphite and titanium materials. Harrison's patent-pending process produces a shaft that reduces shaft lag and shaft twisting. This contributes to longer and straighter ball flight.

Harrison Shafts maintains its leadership position in long driver. Harrison Shafts dominated 2002 Long Drive Tour money list throughout the year, and currently rank second on the Long Drive World ranking. In addition to its accomplishment in long drive, Harrison is also the fastest growing shaft on the Professional Tours worldwide with 18 wins and over 130 top ten finishes. Scarcely a week goes by without Harrison scoring a top ten finish on the Pro Tours.
