SK FIBER sets unofficial 445 yard long drive record
I have headed up the Lite Revolution 1 shaft and may I say I am extremely happy with the performance, in fact it is the best shaft I have ever utilised. The weight and the kick is absolutely perfect for me and over the weekend I actually set a new long drive PB. At an exhibition I hit a drive that measured out to 406.5 metres (445 yards) in still conditions. This unofficially breaks the Australian Long Drive Record which currently stands at 401.1 metres (438 yards) but won’t stand as the record as it was not achieved under tournament conditions. However it is a major stepping stone for me in terms of confidence and motivation as I now know I have the power to become a very elite long driver. This drive was hit at sea level in winter air conditions (temp was 18 C… 65F) so I can’t wait to get to Vegas to take advantage of the altitude and hot dry weather…Damien Powell30 Kelvin GroveSouth Morang VIC 3752Australia

Introducing ...
Wedge shaft innovation and technology comes to age with the new SK FIBER Wedge Force series of graphite wedge shafts. Designed with the help of tour players and avid golfers, we have incorporated the three main elements of “scoring irons”; feel, control and performance in the design of the Wedge Force.
Feel produces a certain impression to invoke an intuitive awareness of self-confidence.
Control is the ability to manipulate the distance and trajectory of the ball for pinpoint accuracy.
Performance is the function of doing something successfully and the Wedge Force works exceptionally well for full shots as well as finesse shots around the green.
Engineered and crafted with high tonnage aerospace grade unidirectional carbon fiber for superior strength, the Wedge Force graphite shaft is designed with a firm sensitive tip section and high kick point to deliver a lower ball flight for pinpoint accuracy.
The Wedge Force is a distinctive black chrome color and available in three weights - 120, 110 and 100 grams to fit the swing characteristics of golfers of all skill levels.
