- PING Offers Proforce V2 in G5 and G2 Woods |
 FORT
WORTH, Texas — August 16, 2005 — United
Sports Technologies®, one of the largest
and most successful graphite golf shaft manufacturers
in the world, today announced that club manufacturer
Ping is offering the Proforce V2 in their all-new
G5 and popular G2 family of woods. The company
will make available the hottest new shaft on
the PGA Tour through the Ping Wrx custom-fitting
department.
“UST is pleased that Ping is offering the
V2 as a custom option for their woods families,” explains
Don Rahrig, vice president of engineering and
OEM sales for UST. “Ping is the trendsetter
for club manufacturers simplifying custom fitting
in the marketplace, and we are confident that
their customers custom-fitted with the V2 will
immediately play better golf.”
Catching fire on Tour, the V2 has validated its
superior feel and playability by going from three
shafts in play to more than 20 in less than ten
weeks, an amazing accomplishment for a brand-new
high performance shaft. Ping staff player Miguel
Angel Jimenez won the Wales Open earlier in the
year playing the V2 prototype in his Ping G2
woods, and the V2 has finished with a victory
or in the Top 10 in a pro event for 12 consecutive
weeks since its public introduction in June.
The V2 will be offered in the 65- and 75-gram
models in regular, stiff and extra stiff flexes.
Authorized Ping dealers can order the V2 custom
option through their local sales representative
or by calling Ping customer service. For
