FARMINGTON, Pa. (September 26, 2004) - Equipping one of the best ball strikers in the game with the hottest new technology in golf seems to have created a nearly unbeatable combination. Vijay Singh won this week's 84 Lumber Classic, marking Vijay's 7th tournament victory since partnering with ASD in April to use the company's PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATING(TM) golf shaft analysis technology. The Vijay / ASD streak includes 5 wins in Singh's last 6 events and three wins in a row.
"Vijay has pretty much run the table since we began working together, said ASD's Talamonti. "Added to the excitement of Vijay's play is the fact that it seems we are reaching our goal of achieving industry acceptance of our technology." A recently concluded round of testing that was conducted by one of the companies interested in the licensed use of ASD's Centroidal Axis Technology(TM) confirmed what ASD has maintained for some time. "ASD's technology is real and beneficial, said Talamonti. "The recent testing really turned some heads and I am confident that we will soon see 'The Secret to Longer, Straighter Golf Shots (R)' available in the market on a much broader scale. I had always envisioned a combined effort involving ASD and one or more strategic partners that would enable us to create a much stronger presence for the technology in the market. We are now very close to achieving that objective."
The association between Vijay Singh and Advanced Shaft Dynamics(TM) PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATING(TM) technology continues to produce one of the most incredible player / product success stories ever witnessed in the history of golf equipment. "As I have been saying, ASD's golf shaft technology definitely works, commented Singh. "Every golfer should consider putting PEAKED shafts in their clubs. I hope my play since joining ASD has helped to make more people aware of the fact that PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATING is beneficial and can improve the distance and accuracy of both woods and irons. It has certainly worked for me."
Advanced Shaft Dynamics was recently issued a registered trademark by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on "The Secret to Longer, Straighter Golf Shots (R)." ASD has a number of additional trademarks and patents pending.
ASD has been performing golf shaft analysis work on the PGA TOUR since 2003 and has "PEAKED" shafts for more than 100 players since that time, including six multiple major championship winners. Vijay Singh plays PEAKED(TM) shafts and has joined ASD to use and endorse the company's technology.
ASD's technology works on any shaft, steel or graphite. The company also launched its own line of premium graphite golf shafts near the end of 2003. Every shaft manufactured by ASD utilizes the company's Centroidal Axis Technology(TM).
PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATING (TM) conforms with USGA Rules. In independent testing, golf clubs using shafts that have undergone ASD's analysis and assembly process produced longer, more accurate shots. PEAK PERFORMANCE LOCATED (TM) shafts, as well as golf clubs that utilize such shafts, are said to be "PEAKED (TM)" or "LOCATED (TM)", which are trademarks of ASD.
