GRAFALLOY® TRIUMPHS AT WGC-ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP
February 26, 2007
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The best 64 players from the Official World Golf Ranking squared off in single-elimination at this weekend’s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, and this year’s winner triumphed with the ultra-light Grafalloy® Blue graphite shaft in his driver and 3-wood. Blue features Micro-Mesh™ tip technology that creates a perfect balance between low torque and optimum tip stability, a combination that reduces clubhead lag and improves ball contact.
The first rookie to win on the PGA TOUR in 2007, the champion trusted Blue to engrave his name in the history books. Not only was the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship his first start as an official member of the PGA TOUR, but he became the first PGA TOUR rookie to win a World Golf Championships event.
In addition to two tour wins in three weeks, the Grafalloy brand generated excitement among golfers and industry experts recently with its introduction of the all-new Grafalloy Epic®. The revolutionary Epic shaft harnesses the superior strength properties of nano-crystalline metals and fuses them at the molecular level with a composite polymer substrate. One thousand times smaller than the grain size of typical metallic structures, the nano-crystalline molecules are able to penetrate millions of specially engineered fissures within the composite polymer substrate creating the revolutionary Nanofuse material.
