Grafalloy ProLaunch Red Claims 2nd Consecutive European PGA
Tour Title and 2nd Nationwide Tour in 3 Weeks
August 7, 2006

Memphis , TN…Three weeks ago ProLaunch Red captured its first professional victory at the Nationwide Tour’s Price Cutter Charity Championship. The following week it claimed the Deutsche Bank Players’ Championship on the E uropean PGA Tour. Sunday ProLaunch Red won on both sides of the Atlantic capturing its second Nationwide Tour title in three weeks at the Cox Classic in Omaha, Nebraska, AND finishing one-two at the E uropean Tour’s E nterCard Scandinavian Masters . The victories this past weekend mark the shaft’s 3 rd and 4 th professional titles in only three weeks.

The Nationwide Tour Champion, armed with ProLaunch Red in his driver, capped off a final round 63 with an eagle-birdie finish to solidify a four-stroke win at 21-under par. The win moved him from fourth to first on the Nationwide Tour money list in addition to making him the first player in the Tour’s history to eclipse $300,000 in a single season. Having solidified his 2007 PGA Tour card, he now sets his sights on earning a coveted battlefield promotion with a third win in the coming weeks.

“ProLaunch Red is gaining momentum faster than any shaft we’ve ever launched,” states Craig Nichols , Grafalloy’s Nationwide Tour Representative. “In only a few weeks on the Nationwide Tour, we have over a dozen players using the shaft and demand is growing each and every week. The shaft is also experiencing the same explosive growth and success on the E uropean Tour.”

ProLaunch Red continued its meteoric rise at the E nterCard Scandinavian Masters on the E uropean Tour with both players in the sudden-death playoff relying on its tip stability and penetrating trajectory. The Champion made a remarkable birdie on the final hole of the day to join the playoff and eventually claim his first European Tour title. The runner-up trusted ProLaunch Red to post a course record 63 in the third round and cement his position on the E uropean Tour Ryder Cup team in September at the K Club in Ireland .

Developed for players seeking a flatter, penetrating trajectory, ProLaunch Red combines the launch monitor tuned performance of ProLaunch technology with key performance attributes from the original ProLite 35, the most popular ultralite shaft of all-time. The shaft incorporates Grafalloy’s proprietary Micro-Mesh™ tip technology to strike the perfect balance of tip stiffness, stability and spin control while preserving critical feel for valuable feedback. The shaft can be found through all major aftermarket distributors and top O E M’s. For more information on ProLaunch Red visit www.grafalloy.com.
