UST Mamiya Shafts Help Win Order Of Merit

(FORT WORTH, TX) - UST Mamiya - maker of the world's finest carbon fiber golf shafts - confirms that the winner of the PGA European Senior Tour's Order of Merit relied on its AXIVCore Blue shafts in his driver and two fairway woods during the 2010 season.

The Thai native recorded four victories on the year and led the tour in the statistical categories of "Stroke Average" and "Scrambles." His success parallels that of other UST Mamiya shaft users around the globe, as the company captured 32 titles worldwide in 2010, including 14 on the PGA Tour. Other wins came on the PGA European, Nationwide, Champions and Asian Tours.

"Our shafts are tremendously well represented in the professional ranks and we're happy to have contributed to the success of so many players," says Gene Simpson, COO of UST Mamiya. "Golfers of all skill levels are rapidly switching to UST Mamiya shafts and enjoying longer, straighter shots and lower scores."

The AXIVCore Blue Series incorporates an active tip section that provides a higher launch for longer carry distance. Like other shafts in the AXIVCore line it integrates a true weave 4-axis material within the inner walls of the butt section, providing stability and consistent shaft recovery. It is counter-balanced to reduce club heft and help players gain clubhead speed.

Likened to the precision of automaker Lexus, all UST Mamiya carbon-fiber shafts are unrivaled in quality attributed to world-class engineering, premium-selected raw materials and handcrafted, repeatable production techniques. Tight tolerances, constant taper design and low-resin content enhance feel during the golf swing.

UST Mamiya produces 35 shaft models within the ATTAS and Proforce product lines:

• ATTAS - Introduced in Japan in early 2009 and in North America late last year, this premium shaft was immediately adopted by Tour players globally. Innovatively engineered with smooth-bending properties throughout the shaft's constant taper design, more energy is transferred to the ball for instant feedback with greater distance. Ultra-thin carbon fibers optimize feel and allow the shaft to maintain its shape for consistent, accurate shots. ATTAS is distinguished by its tri-color look, notably its atomic orange.

• Proforce - Famous for its bright gold color and contributing to multiple major-tournament victories, Proforce shafts have been UST Mamiya's flagship since winning the 1999 Masters. The V2 incorporates the company's original "tip technology," masterfully balancing torque, weight, spin and launch angle for extraordinary power off the tee. The latest in the Proforce series, the AXIVCore features four-axis material promoting stability, control and ease of swing for increased ball speed.
