- UST® Wins MCI Heritage...Again |
FORT WORTH,
Texas — For the second consecutive year,
high-performance Harmon Tour Design (HTD®)
graphite shafts by United Sports Technologies® (UST)
have won the MCI Heritage at the historic Harbour
Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island,
S.C.
“
Harbour Town is one of the most prestigious golf
courses in the country, so we’re naturally
very honored to have scored back-to-back wins
at this magnificent course,” says Shawn
Mullin, PGA Tour representative for UST. “The
Tour pros recognize UST’s efforts to produce
the most technologically advanced graphite shafts,
and the HTD line is a great example of our engineers’ dedication
to superior performance.”
Designed with feedback from world-renown golf
instructor Butch Harmon and his brothers — Craig,
Billy and Dick — the HTD features an ‘active’ tip
section that performs significantly different
from the tip section found in most shafts. The
HTD’s tip section is torsionally stable
to control the clubhead and offers a higher launch
angle for a high, penetrating ball flight down
range. The active tip section is the result of
extra carbon fiber material used to distribute
additional weight in the butt section and to
move the shaft’s balance point towards
the butt end, thus providing more stability and
control in a player’s hands. HTD offers
players the ability to swing confidently, increase
ball speed and add more distance.
One of the world’s largest and most successful
graphite golf shaft manufacturers, UST has shown
a remarkable ability to develop innovative new
products which have won on every professional
tour in the world. In addition to its own Tour-winning
designs, UST’s engineers and designers
work one-on-one with numerous club manufacturers
to supply technical advice on new product development,
component compatibility and graphic customization.
And HTD is offered in popular OEM products either
as a stock or custom upgrade option.
