TORRINGTON, Conn. — Premium Rifle® steel shafts by Royal Precision provided unparalleled performance down the stretch and made the winning difference at the Volvo Masters on the European Tour. Playing Rifle shafts in his irons, the popular Irish-born champion won the biggest victory of his 14-year golf career, adding a final round 67 to his blistering 65 on Saturday to take first prize at the magnificent Club de Golf Valderrama course.

“We congratulate this year’s Volvo Masters champion on a terrific and dramatic win,” says Ray Lucas, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Royal Precision. “Unlike any steel shafts in golf today, Rifle shafts feature a patented internal rifling design and stepless technology which give golfers tighter shot dispersion, better control, greater distance and a superior feel. For more than 80 years, Royal Precision has remained dedicated to providing premium-quality, high-performance golf shafts, and it’s extremely rewarding to see so many of the world’s top players step up their game with premium Rifle shafts.”

Rifle-branded steel shafts combine four advanced technologies to deliver steel shaft performance unmatched in the golf industry. 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; and advanced Flighted Technology that features produces variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set.

Currently, three of the Top Five golfers in the world play Rifle steel shafts in their irons, according to the Official World Golf Ranking.
