2005-02-23 - Saber Wins Two Top 10s at Nissan Open

TORRINGTON, Conn. — Precision Saber™ graphite shafts by Royal Precision may have turned the pros heads in its first year on Tour, but this year, Saber’s advanced launch technology is cutting into the money. This week at the Nissan Open, Saber shafts earned two coveted money-positions among the Top Seven players, including a tie for third-place.
 
“Without question, the pros are discovering the benefits of the Saber graphite shafts,” says John Lauchnor, president and CEO of Royal Precision. “Saber was golf’s first graphite shaft brand to fully dedicate itself to advanced launch design, and we have clearly worked ‘out of the box’ in order to achieve real results. For example, our engineers have strategically positioned tungsten microfibers and special amorphous material in the tip and other key zones of Saber shafts to enhance stability and control. This unique material engineering combined with advanced flexural analysis has provided unparalleled results in increased energy transfer at impact for higher ball velocity and greater distance.”  

Saber achieves an unprecedented level of launch control through a combination of ‘amorphous’ nanostructure technology, ultra-sophisticated material engineering and Energy Inertia (E.I.) Curves, a unique shaft analysis process that precisely gauges the stiffness distribution of a golf shaft from tip to butt. The combination of technologies also custom-tailors Saber shafts to provide very distinctive launch vectors and controlled spin rates to achieve the optimal launch conditions for a player’s specific needs.

Originally available in Saber and Saber Tour Vector Woods, Royal Precision expanded the line in 2005 to include the Saber High Vector that 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; the new Saber Tour Low Vector that stiffens the lower section of the shaft to produce a 4- to 5-degree lower trajectory with a 1500-2000 rpm ball spin rate — flight characteristics often preferred by advanced players; and 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.
