2005-06-27 - Rifle Shafts are Best at Barclays

TORRINGTON, Conn. — Premium Rifle® steel shafts outperformed the competition and won this weekend’s Barclays Classic at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, N.Y. Following up his earlier victory at the Honda Classic, this year’s Irish-born champion played Rifle Flighted steel shafts in his irons which delivered the tournament’s No. 1 ranking for Greens-in-Regulation as well as a dramatic victory.
  
“For more than 80 years, Royal Precision has produced the most technologically advanced steel shafts in golf, and the Rifle Flighted design is another example of why Rifle is considered the first choice in premium steel shafts,” says John Lauchnor, president and CEO of Royal Precision. “Rifle Flighted steel shafts incorporate a revolutionary concept that was developed with our exclusive Flex Distribution Technology™ and perfected on the PGA and European Tours. Like all Rifle shafts, Rifle Flighted features a stepless design, but they are also engineered with different flex points to manipulate ball flight and produce variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set.”

Rifle Flighted shafts have already claimed multiple wins this year with custom ball flight engineering that is truly unique, especially when compared to steel shafts still using 30-year-old stepped designs. Long irons assembled with Rifle Flighted shafts, for example, possess a lower kick point for higher ball flight, easier launch and greater distance, while short irons offer a higher kick point for a lower trajectory, greater accuracy and control. Rifle Flighted shafts are available in flexes 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0.

In addition to Flighted technology, all Rifle-branded steel shafts incorporate three other distinct technologies to make them the world’s most advanced steel shafts. Only Rifle steel shafts offer: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design Technology that eliminates the energy-robbing ‘steps’ found on most other steel shafts, and provides greater accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact; Patented Internal ‘Rifling’ that transfers energy more efficiently than other steel shafts, reduces vibration and increases distance; as well as the Flighted Technology.
