EGLF.ob - i mentioned this company yesterday on the VMC board - first of all, here's what i was talking about regarding David Love III - if you look at the first hit, it says, "played by David Love III". This hasn't been announced by the company yet.
Nutsaboutgolf - did you look at EGLF.ob (Element 21)? Not a value stock Sheriff Len but I decided to buy this one the past few days after doing some DD. $9M mkt. cap at .10 with 90M shares out, they sell a new type of golf club using scandium which is 55% stronger and 25% lighter than titanium. Claim is, driving distance increases 10% with more accuracy. David Love III just used it this weekend in the Chrysler Classic but screweed up yesterday and finished 14th. Big following on RB by players who swear by the clubs. Driver not approved for PGA play yet, but the shafts and irons are. In any event, that's how Callaway started out in the early 80's - they were the new kid on the block with a new concept.
Element 21 Expedites Scandium Driver for USGA Approval THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 2005 4:04 PM IRVINE, CA, Oct 20, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Element 21 Golf Company (E21) (EGLF) announced today that the company is submitting its new Scandium driver to the United States Golf Association (USGA) to verify that it "conforms to the rules of golf." The Eagle One(TM) Scandium Golf shafts have previously been ruled by USGA to conform to USGA rules of golf.
E21 has manufactured the driver so it complies with USGA COR, weight, volume and other requirements under the direction of Dr. Howard Butler, one of the world's leading designers of golf shafts and heads. To hear a live interview with H. Butler describing the driver, please click on www.e21.ca/media/e21_radio_interview.php
The club will be instantly recognizable due to its unique design features that include a louvered effect on the crown plate of the club. This creates a corrugated effect providing additional strength to the clubhead design and, when coupled with Scandium's superior strength-to-weight ratios versus steel and Titanium, allows more freedom to move weight to strategic points within the sole of the clubhead for improved distance and accuracy. A preview of the new clubhead design is available at www.e21.ca/media/e21_drivers.php
The E21 driver has one of the largest face areas of any driver on the market and because the head and shaft are both made of the same patented scandium alloy, unprecedented "True Contact Signature" at impact is achieved. This means greater control and repeatability. The scandium alloy club head also creates less ball spin at the point of impact for greater distance.
Dr. Howard Butler, President of Golf Science Consultants and former VP of R&D at True Temper stated: "I am very excited about the development of this Scandium club. It has met and exceeded our expectations for performance, both in the lab, and in golfers' hands. Feedback we are getting from the field is that the club is creating a buzz within the industry. I have been receiving a lot of inquiries regarding the entire line of Element 21 Scandium products."
