2005-08-31 - Rifle Flighted Wins BMW International Open

TORRINGTON, Conn. — Premium Rifle® steel shafts earned their 12th win of the 2005 European Tour by claiming victory at this week’s BMW International Open at Golfclub München Nord-Eichenried. This year’s English-born champion played Rifle Flighted steel shafts in his irons and accumulated eight birdies in the final round to close with a seven-under par 65. The win was his second on the European Tour.

“Consistency, accuracy and performance are the main reasons why three of the world’s Top Five players prefer Rifle and why Rifle-branded steel shafts are the No. 1 stepless steel shaft in golf today,” says John Lauchnor, president and CEO of Royal Precision, which designs and manufactures Rifle shafts. “Winning the BMW International Open was another great win for Rifle Flighted, a line of premium shafts which has been particularly successful on the PGA and European Tours. All Rifle steel shafts incorporate Royal Precision’s patented internal ‘rifling’ design and ‘Stepless Technology,’ but the Rifle Flighted shafts also feature an exaggerated change in kick point within the club set to manipulate different ball trajectories.“

Only Rifle-branded steel shafts incorporate four different technologies to enhance performance: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design Technology that eliminates energy-robbing ‘steps’ found on most other steel shafts, providing 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; and advanced Flighted Technology that produces variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set.

For more than 80 years, many of golf’s greatest players have trusted Royal Precision to provide Tour-quality shafts. As America’s leading premium steel shaft manufacturer, Royal Precision possesses a unique heritage in golf, and Royal Precision products have won every major U.S. championship, every major on the Senior and LPGA Tours, multiple Vardon Trophies, Player of the Year titles on every tour, and nine of the last of the 10 Orders of Merit.
