Hybrex Golf Shafts Win the 2007 British Open at Carnoustie Links!!

Tempe, AZ, July 22, 2007 – Hybrex Golf is proud to announce its first Major Championship win, at the 136th British Open Championship at Carnoustie Links. The winner of this years’ event used the Hybrex Helix Tour TM shaft in his hybrid utility club throughout the 4-day tournament.

“We are thrilled that our shaft helped the winner capture his first Major Championship and that he had the confidence to use our product, including the tee shots on three of the four play-off holes.” said Howard Lindsay, Hybrex’s CEO. “The winner’s choice of our Helix Tour shaft, which is designed specifically for hybrids and optimized for accuracy and distance control, is a perfect example of what the shaft was designed for. This win was very rewarding for Hybrex Golf.”

Hybrex PGA Tour Manager Ron Graham said “We replaced the graphite shaft in his hybrid with our Helix Tour shaft in May and it’s helped him gain performance and confidence in the club. This was evident as he used his Hybrex-shafted utility club frequently on both long approaches as well off several tees. His use of our shaft for the tee shots on holes 16, 17 and 18 during the 4-hole play-off, confirms that our technology works for the best players in the world. His Hybrex-shafted utility was his “go-to-club” the entire tournament, especially when the pressure was on, demonstrating how critical accuracy and distance control are.”

ExoGrid Technology

Because of the unique characteristics of different materials, multi-material ExoGrid® shafts are lighter than their pure metal counterparts with improved bending/torsion performance. ExoGrid® shafts are more consistent than conventional low-torque graphite shafts, which have concentricity issues due to extreme wall thickness at the tip, contributing to variations within each shaft and from shaft to shaft.

The Helix Tour™ product begins life as a premium aerospace grade Titanium shaft that has almost 30% of its weight removed through an advanced laser machining process. The remaining Ti material is strategically left to form a helical exo-skeleton grid pattern to retain as much torsional stiffness as possible, while creating a distinctive, visually stunning design. The lightweight metal shell is then combined with a high-modulus graphite inner sleeve using a proprietary Bi/Fusion™ process where the materials are permanently fused together under extreme heat and pressure. The end result is a magical new shaft that has been designed and created for one very specific purpose-making you a better golfer. Get the Exogrid® Advantage.

The revolutionary technology of Exogrid® is also used for performance enhancements in other sports such as baseball bats (Louisville Slugger) and bicycles (Titus Cycles).
