FORT WORTH, Texas – Jan 6, 2005 – Graphite shafts manufactured and designed by United Sports Technologies dominated the shaft selection of the pros finishing in the top money positions at the Target World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, California, recently. Four UST brands — Harmon Tour Design, Accra, IROD and Proforce — combined to win six of the coveted top 10 positions.

“By placing multiple UST brands in play each week on professional tours, UST has shown why it is known throughout the industry as an innovator,” says Shawn Mullin, PGA Tour representative for UST. “The HTD, Accra, IROD Hyrbid and the classic Proforce brands have performed extremely well this year, winning more than 30 professional tournaments worldwide, and we’re very pleased to have such a strong showing among the Top 10 finishers at the Target World Challenge.”

According to the industry-acclaimed Darrell Survey reports, UST-branded shafts were the No. 1 graphite shafts among PGA Tour pros at several tournaments this year, once again showcasing UST as a world leader in golf shaft innovation and technology. UST’s best-selling Proforce series has been the world’s number one graphite replacement shaft for years, and the company’s new IROD shaft quickly vaulted to the No. 1 Hybrid graphite shaft on the PGA Tour.
