2006-04-24 - UST Wins with ‘Less’ on LPGA Tour

FORT WORTH, Texas — United Sports Technologies (UST), worldwide leader in golf shaft innovation and technology, proved that ‘less is more’ at the Florida Natural Charity Championship. Playing a high-performance UST Low Carb™ graphite shaft with less weight and lower torque, this week’s sophomore South Korean champion fended off some of the biggest names on the LPGA Tour, including two World of Golf Hall of Famers, to claim her first LPGA victory.

“UST congratulates this week’s LPGA champion on her first tour victory, and we’re very pleased she trusted UST shafts to deliver the feel and performance she needed to win,” says Gene Simpson, vice president of sales and marketing for UST brands. “Overall, UST shafts are having a great year on professional tours worldwide, and there’s no question that the performance characteristics of the Low Carb in particular have generated food for thought among the players.”

The Low Carb graphite shaft excited tour players by introducing less torque, higher launch and more performance, all in one incredibly lightweight shaft. Using UST’s space-age micro carbon fiber design, the Low Carb brings feel, playability and low torque control to the super lightweight category like never before.

“At a mere 52 grams and only 3.7 degrees of torque,” adds Simpson, “this shaft feels rock solid in a player’s hands and provides power and control. The Low Carb finally gives the pros a light weight option that plays like a heavy weight.”

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.
