| PACOIMA,
Calif. -- Technology and tradition came together
this weekend as Harrison graphite shafts were among
the top shaft brands represented at The Open Championship,
the world's oldest golf championship. Harrison's
new Impulse
hybrid shafts surged in popularity among the players
and captured a coveted Top 10 money position at
Royal Liverpool, England.
"The
2006 British Open was immensely successful for Harrison
graphite shafts," says Mike Cheng, president
of Harrison Sports. "Not only did our top-money
finisher this week use our new Impulse
Hybrid Fairway shaft in his Adams Idea Pro Hybrid
club (18°) to win close to $200,000, but the
Impulse was one of the most popular hybrid shafts
at the tournament. Hybrid shafts provide unique
performance advantage for players, and the Impulse
features a lower balance point and produces a higher
launch angle that more easily gets the ball airborne."
Typically,
hybrid-design clubs must withstand greater stress
at impact due to turf contact, so enhanced stability
is a critical design factor for a shaft to resist
|
distortion
upon impact. Harrison's new Impulse
Hybrid shaft is a unique design that 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. Impulse shafts are
available as a fairway wood or utility iron.
This
season, the Harrison Impulse shaft has already delivered
eight Top 10 finishes on pro tours.
