CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. -- Apollo is proud to announce the release of the Masterflex HP44 (L-flex) and HP48 (R and S-flex) supra-lightweight shafts. With the HM44 weighing in at only 44 grams (before the polyurethane is applied!) and the HM48 at 48 grams, these are some of the lightest and most technologically advanced shafts ever created.

"This is an incredibly stable shaft design," states Jeff Summitt, Hireko's Technical Director. "Consumers should be concerned with the specifications if they haven't fared well in the past with shafts as lightweight or with similar torque values. Surprisingly, the reduced tapered profile along with the high modulus material utilized in the filament wound construction gives you the sense of control of a heavier and beefier shaft."

The Apollo Masterflex HP44/48 series of shafts produce a medium or flatter trajectory compared to other shafts in their weight classification. If you are seeking greater speed at impact for exceptional distance without sacrificing accuracy or control then the new Apollo Masterflex HP44/48 shafts are what you've been waiting for. Lastly, the shafts are finished with an exquisite charcoal chrome appearance that blends nicely with virtually every clubhead on the market.

The Apollo Masterflex HP44 is available in L flex for $35 and the HP48 in R and S flex for $33 at Hirekogolf.com or by calling 800-367-8912.
