- UST Shafts are Big in Boise |
FORT WORTH,
Texas — Graphite shafts designed by United
Sports Technologies® (UST) won first- and
second-place at the Albertson’s Boise Open
Presented by First Health on the Nationwide Tour,
with the IROD® Hybrid shaft taking the top
honor.
The 31-year-old Australian champion outperformed
the competition playing an IROD Hybrid shaft
in his Sonartec MD hybrid club and a UST Proforce
Gold IT shaft in his Sonartec SS03 3-wood. A
growing favorite among Nationwide players, the
IROD Hybrid shaft remains the most widely used
hybrid shaft on the PGA Tour.
“
We congratulate this year’s winner of the
Albertson’s Boise Open on a great victory,” says
Shawn Mullin, PGA Tour representative for UST. “Hybrid
shaft design options have increased greatly over
the last year for both woods and irons, and it’s
very rewarding to see that pro players around
the world recognize that true hybrid shafts feature
very specific design characteristics which maximize
hybrid club performance.”
The most-winning hybrid shaft on the PGA Tour,
IROD Hybrid shafts are specifically designed
to expand the playability of long irons, hybrid
utility clubs and fairway woods, and are becoming
more popular on professional tours and at courses
across America. IROD shafts deliver spectacular
playability and make fairway woods easier to
control and long irons easier to get airborne.
For example, the IROD fairway shaft produces
a tight shot dispersion, while the IROD hybrid
utility shaft technology focuses on maximum distance
control. The IROD long-iron shaft is specifically
designed to put the difficult to hit 2-, 3- and
4-irons back into your bag by producing a high
trajectory shot from the most difficult lies.
