“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.”

The new Helix Tour shafts feature ExoGrid technology and come in different flexes and tip diameters.  ExoGrid is a patented technology that combines the best attributes of titanium and carbon fiber to create a multi-material structure with improved performance.  This includes higher torsional stiffness for improved accuracy, linear weight progression for consistent distance control and enhanced feel.  ExoGrid also delivers a unique contrasting look.
