Element 21 Scandium Shafts Win World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational
TORONTO--(Marketwire - August 4, 2008) - Element 21 Golf Company (OTCBB: ETGF) (FRANKFURT: BJQ), the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf and fishing equipment, announced today that the player using Element 21 Scandium shafts has won the Bridgestone Invitational.
This player switched to the Scandium shafts in the summer of 2007 and has been using scandium shafts on an UNENDORSED basis since then.
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. Following his switch to the Scandium shafts, he was quoted as saying that he experienced less vibration -- and, therefore, less strain -- in his elbows when he hits the Scandium shafts. He has suffered from an ongoing elbow injury, so the Scandium shafts, with vibration dampening 'ShockBlok™' technology, 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 the best players are getting the same results in play. Scandium technology is being used by the best players on unendorsed basis, giving Element 21 true validation of Scandium technology," stated Dr. Nataliya Hearn, e21's CEO.
About The Element 21 Eagle One Scandium Shafts:
Element 21's Eagle One Scandium Alloy shafts are manufactured using a proprietary 25-step production process to create a seamless, extruded shaft. Variable wall thickness and the alloy's high tensile strength results in a vibration dampening system called ShockBlok™ with 270% better shock attenuation than steel shafts that protects golfers' bodies, bones and joints. Each Element 21 shaft is made from a single piece of Scandium Alloy resulting in unmatched consistency from club to club as well as unprecedented accuracy and distance and an industry leading torque of as low as 1.4 degrees.
On average, the Element 21 Scandium 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 shafts was impressive the dispersion/accuracy ratings it achieved were even more overwhelming. The Scandium 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 Element 21 Scandium shafts are nearly 5 TIMES more accurate than their nearest competitor.
