PACOIMA,
Calif. -- The world's best players battled against
a challenging Winged Foot course that showed no
mercy to some of the game's greatest living legends.
Thus, achieving top honors at this year's U.S. Open
was no small feat; however, the player capturing
fifth place at the 106th U.S. Open trusted Harrison
graphite
shafts in his driver and hybrid club.
He
played a Harrison Striper
Long Drive shaft in his driver and a Harrison
Impulse shaft in his hybrid. Both clubs delivered
consistent shot performance throughout the unforgiving,
four-day tournament and delivered a strong 7-over
par 287, two shots behind the leader.
"The
U.S. Open is one of the most prestigious tournaments
in the world, and Winged Foot tested the skills
of the world's best golfers as well as the dependability
of their shot production," says Mike Cheng,
president of Harrison Sports. "Many pros trust
Harrison shafts to provide the consistency and performance
they need to compete and to win during tough conditions.
The Striper
Long Drive and Impulse
shafts are both Tour-proven and among the most reliable
shafts in golf today."

A
unique design, new for 2006, Harrison's new 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.
