- Pro Tours Feast on UST’s New ‘Low
Carb’ |
 FORT WORTH,
Texas — Professional golfers are always
hungry for the latest technology, so when United
Sports Technologies (UST) served up less torque,
higher launch and more performance with its all-new
Low Carb™ graphite shaft on the pro tours,
it was veritable feeding frenzy.
A world leader in graphite shaft innovation,
UST recently unveiled its new Low Carb graphite
shaft on the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours and
players across the board anxiously clamored to
see the new lightweight shaft’s performance
as well as did tour representatives from notable
club manufacturers such as Ping, Cleveland, Titleist,
TaylorMade and Callaway. Not only did the lightweight
Low Carb easily hold up to the players’ scrutiny,
the new shaft whet the pros’ appetite for
greater performance.
“The Low Carb is a light weight shaft that
plays like a heavy weight,” says Jim McIntosh,
tour representative for UST. “UST continues
to achieve even greater measures of performance,
and most of the pros appreciated the feel and
overall balance of the Low Carb. In fact, one
top player even commented on the Low Carb’s ‘crispness’ in
feel.“
McIntosh explains that for golfers looking for
some serious weight loss, the new Low Carb graphite
shaft brings extremely low torque to the lightweight
shaft category. A 52-gram shaft with 3.7 degrees
torque, the Low Carb shaft possesses the lowest
torque ever engineered by UST with this shaft
weight. Using an ultra-sophisticated micro-carbon
fiber design, the new Low Carb brings feel, playability
and low torque control to the super lightweight
category like never before.
“This shaft feels rock solid in a player’s
hands, and it adds power and control to anyone’s
game,” adds McIntosh. “This shaft
will definitely get lots of attention because
of the tight feeling design and lighter weight
design that many players prefer.”
