2005-01-20 - Saber Introduces New Launch Options

TORRINGTON, Conn. — In 2004, Precision Saber [TM] graphite shafts by Royal Precision introduced golfers to ‘Cutting Edge Launch Technology’ and surprised so-called ‘Industry Insiders’ with an impressive ranking for driving distance on the PGA Tour. This year, Royal Precision announces the expansion of its Saber and Saber Tour lines of high-performance graphite shafts with the addition of several new dedicated launch options.
 
Introducing its all-new Saber High Vector, Saber Tour Low Vector and Saber Hybrid Utility Wood and Iron shafts, Royal Precision’s Saber validates its growing reputation for advanced material engineering and launch results. The new Saber High Vector, for example, features a reinforced amorphous material that effectively softens the lower 16-18 inches of the shaft for higher launch, a design feature far more effective than so-called ‘tip soft’ shafts which typically only focus on a six-inch tip section. Conversely, the new Saber Tour Low Vector incorporates a proprietary graphite material that stiffens the lower section of the shaft which produces a 4- to 5-degree lower trajectory with a 1500-2000 rpm ball spin rate — flight characteristics often preferred by advanced players. The new Saber Hybrid Utility Wood and Iron feature unique launch characteristics especially designed for shorter-length utility clubs which often require rapid launch from tough ground conditions.
 
As golf’s first graphite shaft brand solely dedicated to advanced launch design, Saber has clearly set a new benchmark for cutting-edge shaft design that provides performance results for golfers of all skill levels,” says John Lauchnor, president and CEO of Royal Precision. “Whether it’s a low, medium or high trajectory that a golfer needs, Saber shafts achieve an unprecedented level of launch control through ultra-sophisticated material engineering and Energy Inertia (E.I.) Curves, a unique shaft analysis process that precisely measures the stiffness distribution of a golf shaft from tip to butt. For the player, the results are much less complicated – it means controlled spin rates and distinctive launch vectors for optimum trajectory and maximum distance.”
