FORT WORTH, TX – October 8, 2012 – UST Mamiya, maker of the world’s finest carbon fiber golf shafts, reports for the second week in a row it was the #1 hybrid shaft used at the Web.com’s Neediest Kids Championship played at the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Potomac, Maryland. According to the Darrell Survey, more players at the Neediest Kids Championship chose UST Mamiya’s hybrid shafts (branded and manufactured) than any other company. UST Mamiya also finished second for all shafts in play.
“We are extremely happy to be the #1 hybrid shaft in play at the Neediest Kids Championship,” said Robb Schikner, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This is the second straight week on the Web.com being #1 and the momentum we are seeing in shaft usage on Tour is the direct result of the R&D and technology we are putting into our shafts. Shaft usage is about performance and feel, and clearly players understand the advantages of our shafts.”
All UST Mamiya carbon-fiber shafts are made using handcrafted, repeatable production techniques that incorporate world-class engineering and premium-selected raw materials. This combines with tight tolerances, constant taper design and low-resin content to enhance feel during the golf swing.

Paralleling its achievements at the professional level, the company’s shafts have remained the top-selling aftermarket option in the United States the past five years.
