Winners of Three Professional Tournaments Played Graphite Design Shafts

SAN DIEGO, CA – July 9, 2010 – Graphite Design, maker of some of the most widely played premium golf shafts on the PGA TOUR, announced today that the winners of the Champions Tour Montreal Championship, LPGA Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, and PGA Professional National Champion all played Graphite Design shafts this past weekend.

"All three winners had close finishes and we congratulate them on their hard-won victories," said Mr. Tak Yamada, VP of Sales & Marketing, Graphite Design. "Our shafts have been consistently requested by some of the best players in the world and these victories on three separate Tours in one week provide strong validation of the exceptional performance benefits of Graphite Design shafts."

The winner of the PGA Professional National Champion played Graphite Design’s new Tour AD DI shaft in his driver. His 8-under-par 278 landed him his record-tying third National Championship victory. Designed to provide more power and stability, the Tour AD DI shaft, manufactured exclusively at Graphite Design Japan, has been integrated with Toray Company’s new Nanomaterial technology in the tip section of the shaft. This unique tip technology creates optimal launch and spin conditions to produce increased accuracy and distance.

Tour players have been impressed by the fact that when using the Tour AD DI shaft they can increase ball speed and accuracy without giving up distance. The mid bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet maintains a firm enough tip section through impact, producing optimal spin and launch conditions. Golfers using the shaft will experience the feel of the ball leaving the club head with a lot of speed while maintaining exceptional feel and control.

The winner of both the LPGA Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic and the Champions Tour Montreal Championship played Graphite Design YS+ 6 shafts. The YS+ series maintains its leadership in the golf market. The universal performance characteristics of the YS+ series have made it one of the most widely used shaft brands worldwide. It continues to be used on the various professional tours worldwide.

The company's Tour AD logo is featured on all of Graphite Design's Tour-proven shafts to specifically promote "Accuracy and Distance" and has long been known for high quality and superior performance. This is represented by the company’s success that has been documented by professionals and amateurs alike. Graphite Design is the most dominant shaft on the JPGA Tour and has been for the past seven years.

Graphite Design International manufactures the highest quality shafts in the world for Pure Distance and Perfect Accuracy. Graphite Design shafts can be seen in play by the best professional players on the PGA, Nationwide, Champions, Japan, European and LPGA tours. Graphite Design shafts reinforced its dominance on the Japan Tour, where it has claimed 163 consecutive graphite wood shaft brand counts -- an unprecedented streak which dates to 2003. On the PGA Tour, Graphite Design shafts have helped professionals earn 69 victories since 2004 and millions of dollars in prize money. A total of 8 US distributors and 5 European and Asian distributors supply Graphite Design shafts to over 1000 custom fitters around the world.
