Element 21 Scandium Shafts Win Again — at The Barclays
2008-08-25 07:35:00
TORONTO–(EMWNews – August 25, 2008) – Element 21 Golf Company (
equipment, announced today that the player using Element 21 Scandium shafts
has won The Barclays held at the Ridgewood Country Club.
This player has won The Barclays for the fourth time in his career and now
leads the Playoffs. He has been using Scandium shafts on UNENDORSED basis
for over one year.
This player has a reputation for being the hardest working professional
golfer, hitting thousands of golf balls on the practice range daily and
playing in numerous events worldwide each year. Following his switch to
the Scandium shafts, he was quoted as saying that he experienced less
vibration — and, therefore, less strain — in his elbows when he hits the
Scandium shafts. He has suffered from an ongoing elbow injury, so the
Scandium shafts, with vibration dampening ‘ShockBlok™’ technology, help
keep that from flaring up.
“We have seen that Scandium accuracy is beyond anything experienced in the
golf industry to-date, as was shown by the robotic,
third-party testing. Now the best players are getting the same results in
play. Scandium technology is being used by the best players on unendorsed
basis, giving Element 21 true validation of Scandium technology,” stated
Dr. Nataliya Hearn, e21’s CEO.
About The Element 21 Eagle One Scandium Shafts:
Element 21’s Eagle One Scandium Alloy shafts are manufactured using a
proprietary 25-step production process to create a seamless, extruded
shaft. Variable wall thickness and the alloy’s high tensile strength
results in a vibration dampening system called ShockBlok™ with 270% better
shock attenuation than steel shafts that protects golfers’ bodies, bones
and joints. Each Element 21 shaft is made from a single piece of Scandium
Alloy resulting in unmatched consistency from club to club as well as
unprecedented accuracy and distance and an industry leading torque of as
low as 1.4 degrees.
On average, the Element 21 Scandium shaft registered substantially longer
distance than any other shaft it tested against, in some cases by as much
as 16 yards at identical swing speeds, using identical 6 iron heads for the
test.
While the added distance of the Element 21 Scandium shafts was impressive
the dispersion/accuracy ratings it achieved were even more overwhelming.
The Scandium shafts recorded dispersion/accuracy ratings as low as +/-1.33
feet from the target zone on center hits. This low dispersion rating showed
that the Element 21 Scandium shafts are nearly 5 TIMES more accurate than
their nearest competitor.
