FORT WORTH, Texas — United Sports Technologies®, one of the largest and most successful graphite golf shaft manufacturers in the world, has announced that club manufacturer Ping is offering the Proforce V2 in their all-new G5 and popular G2 family of woods. The company will make available the hottest new shaft on the PGA Tour through the Ping Wrx custom-fitting department.

“UST is pleased that Ping is offering the V2 as a custom option for their woods families,” explains Don Rahrig, vice president of engineering and OEM sales for UST. “Ping is the trendsetter for club manufacturers simplifying custom fitting in the marketplace, and we are confident that their customers custom-fitted with the V2 will immediately play better golf.”

Catching fire on Tour, the V2 has validated its superior feel and playability by going from three shafts in play to more than 20 in less than ten weeks, an amazing accomplishment for a brand-new high performance shaft. Ping staff player Miguel Angel Jimenez won the Wales Open earlier in the year playing the V2 prototype in his Ping G2 woods, and the V2 has finished with a victory or in the Top 10 in a pro event for 12 consecutive weeks since its public introduction in June.

The V2 will be offered in the 65- and 75-gram models in regular, stiff and extra stiff flexes. Authorized Ping dealers can order the V2 custom option through their local sales representative or by calling Ping customer service. For more information on Ping visit the web site at .
