Element 21 Golf's Eagle One shaft outperforms the competition

IRVINE, Calif. -- Element 21 Golf Company announced recently the results of independent robot testing performed by Golf Laboratories Inc., of San Diego, Calif.. on their Eagle One Shafts against seven other major OEM shaft companies. Element 21 Golf introduced a revolutionary new material, Scandium, the 21st Element of The Periodic Table, to the golf industry earlier this year at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida and has created quite a "buzz" amongst industry insiders.

This is the first major advancement in materials in the golf industry in over 20 years. The Eagle One Irons from Element 21 Golf have demonstrated superiority over both graphite and steel in independent testing by producing shots up to 30 yards longer. Engineers at Element 21 Golf attribute this performance improvement not just to the lively head design but also to the highly responsive Eagle One shaft. In today's market it is very difficult to push the performance of a head since rebound velocities are limited by USGA regulations. The key, therefore, is in the shaft.

The shaft design must allow the shaft to recover from the initiation of a swing where the moment of inertia, resisted by the heads weight, imposes a backward bend in the shaft. The shaft must recover just before the club head strikes the ball in order to impose the greatest impact force resulting in the balls' projection and ultimate distance.

E21 Golf has tuned the shaft design for maximum performance. Since the alloy is of a homogenous structure and posses extremely fine crystalline grains, the potential resistive energy imposed during a swing is not lost. Such losses are found in graphite/epoxy composite type construction where the epoxy matrix cannot translate the load forces that the graphite fibers resist.

Average Distance/YDS. Longest Hit IN Test/YDS.

Element 21 Golf's new Eagle One Irons with SHOCK-BLOKTM Technology are unlike anything else on the market right now. The club incorporates an E21 Metal shaft that:

1. Redirects the vibration normally felt in the hands and arms back to the club head (thus giving an extra "energy-kick" to the golf ball and subsequently increasing distance).

2. Maintains a crystal clear signature of the contact between the club head and the golf ball providing the golfer with a "softer feel" and unprecedented control over every shot.
