SAN DIEGO, CA, August 03, 2012 (Press-News.org) Graphite Design, maker of some of the most widely played premium golf shafts on the PGA TOUR, announced today that the winner and second place finisher of the Web.com Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational both played Graphite Design Tour AD DI shafts in their drivers.
"Congratulations to this young player on his victory in his first professional event," said Tak Yamada, President, Graphite Design, "This is a great way to start his professional career and we wish him continued success throughout his career."
The winner shot a 12-under 272 to force a playoff at the course in Columbus, Ohio. He rolled in a 22-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to win the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational and become the 13th player in Web.com Tour history to win in his first professional Tour start. He played a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7 shaft in his driver. The second place finisher played a Tour AD DI 6 shaft in his driver.
Graphite Design has now posted a total of 16 professional tour victories in 2012. This impressive number includes 6 PGA Tour wins, 5 LPGA Tour wins, 3 European Tour wins, and 2 Nationwide/Web.com Tour wins.
Designed to provide more power and stability, the Tour AD DI shaft, manufactured exclusively at Graphite Design Japan, has been integrated with Toray Company's Nanomaterial technology in the tip section of the shaft. This unique tip technology creates optimal launch and spin conditions to produce increased accuracy and distance. Tour players have been impressed by the fact that when using the Tour AD DI shaft they can increase ball speed and accuracy without giving up distance.
The mid bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet maintains a firm enough tip section through impact, producing optimal spin and launch conditions. Golfers using the shaft will experience the feel of the ball leaving the club head with a lot of speed while maintaining exceptional feel and control.
Graphite Design's Tour AD logo is featured on all of the company's Tour-proven shafts to specifically promote "Accuracy and Distance" and has long been known for high quality and superior performance. This is represented by the company's success that has been documented by professionals and amateurs alike. Graphite Design is the most dominant shaft on the JGTO Tour and has been for the past nine years.
Graphite Design International manufactures the highest quality shafts in the world for Pure Distance and Perfect Accuracy. Graphite Design shafts can be seen in play by the best professional players on the PGA, Nationwide, Champions, Japan, European and LPGA tours. Graphite Design shafts reinforced its dominance on the Japan Tour, where it has claimed 163 consecutive graphite wood shaft brand counts -- an unprecedented streak which dates to 2003. On the PGA Tour, Graphite Design shafts have helped professionals earn 83 victories since 2004 and millions of dollars in prize money. A total of 60 US distributors and 16 European and Asian distributors supply Graphite Design shafts to custom club fitters around the world.
