UST® Shafts Master Melbourne

FORT WORTH, Texas —Delivering their second consecutive tour victory on the 2008 European Tour, high-performance graphite shafts by UST® (United Sports Technologies) provided consistency and accuracy down the stretch to win the MasterCard Masters in Melbourne, Australia.

A home favorite, the young Aussie champion played a UST ACCRA® SC95 shaft in both his fairway woods, and shot a 13-under par which out-performed the competition in a dramatic sudden death playoff. The win for the ACCRA SC Series comes one week after the UST ACCRA® with AXIV Technology XC65 shaft won the UBS Hong Kong Open.

“With the intense competition on the pro tours today, it’s always a remarkable testament to the innovation and performance of UST shafts to win back-to-back tour events,” says Jim McIntosh, tour representative for UST. “The ACCRA series seems to be taking Europe by storm, particularly the AXIV Technology which weaves four different modulus carbon fibers in four different directions all in one ply of material. It’s the most exotic material in graphite shaft production today.”

Designed and manufactured by UST, the ACCRA with AXIV Technology shafts create a ‘Rapid Shaft Recovery System,’ resisting deformation and returning the shaft to a round shape faster than any other shaft on the market. The ‘loading’ and ‘unloading’ of the golf swing, alters the characteristics and shape of a shaft. The AXIV Tetra-Axial weave not only aids in the recovery of the shaft to ensure a consistent return to the ball with each swing, the single ply offers superior feel in the hands. The revolutionary combination of a constant taper design, ACCRA super high-modulus materials and AXIV Technology ‘sets a new bar’ for innovations in premium golf shafts.

Some of the world’s best players such as Jim Furyk, Davis Love III, Rod Pampling and many others play high-performance UST graphite shafts.
