Element 21 Golf Company, the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf and fishing equipment, has announced that the player who won the Bridgestone Invitational Golf Championship this past weekend used Element 21 Scandium shafts.
The player, who was not named in the company’s announcement, has been using the Scandium shafts on an UNENDORSED basis since the summer of 2007, when he switched over. According to the announcement, the unnamed player has a reputation as being the hardest-working professional golfer, hitting thousands of golf balls on the practice range daily and playing in numerous events worldwide each year. Following his switch to the Scandium shafts, he was quoted as saying that he experiences less vibration — and, therefore, less strain — in his elbows when he hits with the Scandium shafts. He has suffered from an ongoing elbow injury, so the Scandium shafts, with vibration-dampening ‘ShockBlok™’ technology, help keep that from flaring up.
The Element 21 shaft is made from a single piece of Scandium Alloy, resulting in unmatched consistency from club to club as well as unprecedented accuracy and distance and an industry leading torque of as low as 1.4 degrees. On average, the Element 21 Scandium shaft registered substantially longer distance than any other shaft it tested against, in some cases by as much as 16 yards at identical swing speeds, using identical 6 iron heads for the test.
Dr. Nataliya Hearn, e21’s CEO stated, “We have seen that Scandium accuracy is beyond anything experienced in the golf industry to-date, as was shown by the robotic, third-party testing. Now the best players are getting the same results in play. Scandium technology is being used by the best players on unendorsed basis, giving Element 21 true validation of Scandium technology.”
