Grafalloy ProLaunch Red Claims 3rd Consecutive European PGA Tour Title

August 13, 2006

Memphis , TN ProLaunch Red continued its meteoric rise up the ranks of professional golf by claiming its third consecutive victory on the E uropean PGA Tour at the KLM Open. This victory marks the 5 th professional title the shaft has captured in the past 4 weeks. The Champion, trusting the tour-caliber performance of ProLaunch Red in his driver, made up three strokes in the final four holes of regulation then took the title on the first hole of sudden death after ending in a two-way tie at 14-under par.

"The success we have seen on tour with ProLaunch Red has been widespread across various different O E M models," states Don Brown , Design E ngineer and Product Manager for Grafalloy. "This is in large part due to its unique blend of tip stability and supple feel resulting from the incorporation of our proprietary Micro-Mesh tip section providing ultimate torsional control in today's large headed drivers."

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.
