Fujikura announces dominating shaft brands at Sybase Classic

VISTA, Calif. -- Fujikura was the #1 Driver and All Woods Shaft Brand, which includes hybrids, at the LPGA Sybase Classic, beating its next two competitors combined. The brand now has won the count at every 2008 LPGA event.

“Our consistent leading position at the Sybase Classic and on the 2008 LPGA Tour continues to demonstrate that Fujikura materials and design technologies are respected and played for their superior performance by the world’s top female players,” says David Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura.

“We are proud of this dominance on the LPGA Tour because these accomplished and discriminating women recognize the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts in tandem with our OEM clubmakers,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative.

Fujikura also was the #1 Driver Shaft and #1 Wood Shaft Brand, which includes hybrids, on the LPGA Tour for every week of full field events for the entire 2007 U.S. season.

The company’s LPGA tour position was highlighted by being the #1 Driver and Wood Shaft brand at its U.S. major championships.

The company’s Tour success is the result of its new Fit-On Academy, an innovative, proprietary research and development system designed to create and test new breakthrough shaft designs and materials.

The Academy uses the most advanced analysis and simulation technology to monitor golfer’s real swings and range of swing speeds to produce exclusive insights used to test and design performance shafts customized for the Tour and all levels of players of ages, skills and handicaps.

Fujikura is the primary supplier to many national brand OEM’s offering both proprietary and brand product shaft designs. Fujikura products also can be custom fitted through its network of over 900 Charter Dealers. To learn more about Fujikura, visit www.fujikuragolf.com.
