- UST Wins the Chrysler Classic of Tucson |
FORT WORTH,
Texas — For the second year in a row, United
Sports Technologies (UST®) graphite shafts
shined bright in the desert sun this weekend,
winning first- and second-place and claiming
eight of the Top 10 money positions at the Chrysler
Classic of Tucson.
Topping the list, this year's champion played
a TaylorMade R7 driver upgraded with a Harmon
Tour Design (HTD®) graphite shaft, a design
which has won particular acclaim for its distance
and accuracy by some of the world's best players.
Also garnering honors in Tucson, UST’s
premium Accra® graphite shaft earned second-place
with the runner-up playing an Accra SE80 model
in his Ping G2 driver and 3-wood, while playing
an Accra SC75 in his 5-wood.
“The HTD has proven to be one of the most
accurate and longest driving shafts on the market,” says
UST Tour rep Shawn Mullin. “UST continues
to push the envelope to achieve ever greater
measures of performance, and we’ve been
extremely pleased with the HTD shafts’ ability
to provide more feel and kick at impact.”
UST’s Harmon Tour Design (HTD) Counter
Balance series of graphite shafts is the result
of a joint effort with Butch Harmon, his brothers — Craig,
Bill and Dick — and UST engineers. Featuring
active tip sections and reinforced butt sections
for stability, HTD shafts utilize a unique weight
distribution near the hands to make golf clubs
easier to swing. Although played by more than
100 Tour pros, HTD graphite shafts also bering
the Harmon brothers' experience in ball flight
performance to golfers of all skill levels.
