BiMatrx™ Technology Claims Top Two Spots at Ford Championship
- Grafalloy Shafts Take Top Three Places in one of the Strongest Field's of the 2006 Season
March 6, 2006

Memphis, TN …In the endless search for the holy grail of maximum distance and pinpoint accuracy, there is one shaft innovation that has risen above the rest. BiMatrx™ technology, originally introduced in the True Temper Rxi, is now available in a new Grafalloy Prototype currently taking the tour by storm. Not only was the shaft in the champion’s driver at this week’s Ford Championship at Doral, but the shaft is also in use by the longest driver on the PGA Tour who finished the week with a tournament-leading 324 yards per drive. In fact, in Sunday’s final round, the tour’s driving distance leader averaged a staggering 344 yards per recorded drive.

The new Grafalloy BiMatrx Prototype has been proven to significantly improve launch conditions by increasing initial launch angle while reducing spin rate. This high launch, low spin design combined with the proven tip stability of BiMatrx technology produces the ultimate combination of distance and control. The company is currently in the process of determining when to make this hot new shaft available for sale.

In addition to the recent success of the new BiMatrx Prototype, Grafalloy Tour X continues to be one of the leading shafts of the 2006 PGA Tour season. Building on its win at the Sony Open, the shaft continues to rack up top-five finishes with two this past weekend in Miami . Both players finishing tied for second at 19-under par trusted the tip-stiff design of one of the most popular tour shafts of all-time. The recently developed network of True Temper ® Tour Concept retailers is now making this previously tour-only shaft available to golfer’s everywhere. Tour Concept authorized retailers comprise the very best professional clubfitter’s around the country. Visit www.tttourconcept.com to locate an authorized True Temper Tour Concept retailer near you.
