Irwin Off To Fast Start
With New King Cobra Golf Clubs

Hale Irwin, the all-time leader in wins and money on the Senior PGA TOUR, advanced his position in both categories this week with a five-stroke victory at the Toshiba Senior Classic. Irwin fired three rounds in the 60's in the victory, including a 64-65 weekend finish and a 17-under 196 total.

In his eighth season on the Senior PGA TOUR, Irwin has been a loyalist to Cobra equipment throughout, and recently switched to the new King Cobra SS 350 driver and King Cobra Forged irons. Since the switch, Irwin has been virtually flawless, winning the Senior Skins Game in record-breaking fashion, followed by a win at the ACE Group Classic, runner-up finishes at the Verizon Classic and Audi Senior Classic and yesterday's triumph. He tops the 2002 money list with more than $700,000 in official earnings, and has already surpassed the $1 million mark when factoring in his record $450,000 Senior Skins Game haul.

Irwin trusts his driving game to the unique King Cobra SS 350 model, which is not only making noise on tour, but in the marketplace. The SS stands for 'Sweet Spot', and the King Cobra SS drivers feature the largest and 'hottest' of any conforming driver in the industry. A thin 15-3-3-3 Beta Titanium insert surrounds an even thinner titanium ring to generate the maximum allowable energy transfer and a higher coefficient of restitution (C.O.R.) over a greater effective hitting area. The result is more distance, greater forgiveness and a sweet, solid feel and sound. An internal low and back heel weight pad is positioned directly in line with the hosel axis to promote a higher, straighter shots, and greater forgiveness on off-center hits due to its lower center of gravity.

The new King Cobra Forged irons feature an oversized cavity back and muscle arch behind the hitting zone to promote greater workability, uncompromising forgiveness, and traditional forged iron feel.
