Thursday September 20, 8:00 am ET
TORONTO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 20, 2007 -- Element 21 Golf Company (OTC BB:EGLF.OB - News) (Frankfurt:BJQ.F - News), the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf and fishing equipment, is delighted to report the player using Element 21 scandium Eagle One shafts outperformed Tiger Woods in greens-in-regulation at the Tour Championship.
The player, who switched to the Scandium Eagle One shafts in early August, tied for number one with Tiger Woods in greens-in-regulation, however, his proximity to the hole was superior 26 feet 7 inches versus Tiger's 29 feet even. His overall standing, this past weekend was a tie for the 7th spot.
On average, the Element 21 Scandium Alloy shaft registered substantially longer distance than any other shaft it tested against, in some cases by as much as 16 yards at identical swing speeds, using identical 6 iron heads for the test.
While the added distance of the Element 21 Scandium Alloy shafts was impressive the dispersion/accuracy ratings it achieved were even more overwhelming. The Scandium Alloy shafts recorded dispersion/accuracy ratings as low as +/-1.33 feet from the target zone on center hits. This low dispersion rating showed that the e21 Scandium Alloy shafts are nearly 5 TIMES more accurate than their nearest competitor.
In 2007, the player in question has had two first place finishes and has a total of 31 PGA tour wins, including two PGA Championships. He also has amassed 21 international wins and over $53 million in PGA Tour winnings during his illustrious career. Following his switch to the Scandium Eagle One shafts, he was quoted as saying that he experienced less vibration -- and, therefore, less strain -- in his elbows when he hits the new scandium shafts. He has suffered from an ongoing elbow injury, so the new scandium shafts help keep that from flaring up.
"We have seen that Scandium accuracy is beyond anything experienced in the golf industry to-date, as was shown by the robotic, third-party testing. Now to have the same results, in-play, at the Tour Championships, validates superiority of Scandium technology," stated Dr. Nataliya Hearn, e21's CEO. "This player has a reputation as being the hardest working professional golfer hitting thousands of golf balls on the practice range daily and playing in numerous events worldwide each year. The medical benefits of scandium engineering are also being confirmed on Tour. There is no doubt that that our vibration dampening 'ShockBlok(TM)' technology and our shafts' superior accuracy and distance can help support this player's legendary practice routine and his record for winning golf tournaments."
