Gastonia, NC, August 30, 2004 -- AccuFLEX Golf, the golf industry leader in advanced design carbon composite golf shafts, announced today the launch of its new "Evolution" shaft that is enhanced 100% with a revolutionary nanotech manufacturing process, AccuFLEX 's "Nano Composite" technology.

Nanotech processes comprise a technological revolution that will change our lives forever. Being able to work with materials on the nano level allows us to do, measure, see, make and predict things on the scale of atoms and molecules.

Nanotech enhancements can be applied to a variety of materials from metals to plastics to carbon graphite fibers. The nanotech enhancement is permanently attached at the nano or sub-micron level so that it is undetectable to the human eye and is designed to last the life of the composite. The process of applying the nanotech enhancement involves either a dipping or spray applied in raw form, followed by a normal curing process.

After twelve months of research, development and testing Accuflex has gone into full production on its Evolution shaft.

The benefits of working on the nano level will vary depending on the products enhanced. In the case of graphite golf shafts, AccuFLEX ‘s Nano Composite technology enhancement increases the surface area making a tighter molecular structure.

This means that shafts that are enhanced with AccuFLEX ‘s Golf’s Nano Composite technology has fewer voids in the fiber, tighter tolerances and can feature lighter weight with more fiber density. Nano Composite technology shafts are also stronger, have faster recovery with less shaft deformation while transmitting better feel.

AccuFLEX Golf's Evolution shaft brings tomorrow's shaft technology to golfers today and will give golfers more of the performance characteristics they want: consistency, feel, distance and accuracy.

"We at AccuFLEX have been committed from day one to being the leader in cutting edge advanced design composite technology," Accuflex president Jody Baucom commented.

“AccuFLEX Golf's Nano Composite technology provides a superior method of making shafts with even less voids, faster recovery and better feel. The Evolution is the first shaft we have made utilizing this revolutionary technology and the reaction from the Nationwide Tour players has been outstanding”

AccuFLEX Golf plans to offer full range of Nano Composite products in the future. AccuFLEX Golf shafts won the 2003 and 2004 Senior British Opens and the 2003 JELD-WEN Tradition Champions Tour major championships and were in the bag of Chris Couch, the winner of the 2003 PGA Nationwide Tour Championship.
