Element 21 Golf Scandium Driver Receives USGA Approval
Element 21 Golf Company (E21) (OTC BB: EGLF) is
pleased to report that the Company has received confirmation from the
United States Golf Association (USGA) that its Scandium driver is compliant
with the USGA's rules of golf with COR value tested at 99.9% near the
imposed limit.
"The USGA ruling and the arrival of our new products for the PGA show
provide for a great start to 2006," stated E21 President and CEO, Dr.
Nataliya Hearn. "Over the next several weeks we will be sending product to
our sales representatives in preparation for the spring buying season. We
are also in the process of filling initial pre-orders and sending samples
to several other golf companies and to several PGA Tour professionals.
Working with a new material represents a very steep learning curve, and I
commend our product engineers, designers and manufacturer for their efforts
to get our driver completed. We have spent considerable time and resources
establishing an exclusive and proprietary production path for our driver."
The Scandium driver technology represents a significant departure from the
prevailing titanium driver construction technology, and offers balanced
moments of inertia and an unprecedented sweet spot. The result is very
tight dispersion even for off center shots, as well as a notable increase
in distance. One player called it "Control You Can Feel, Distance You Can
See(TM)."
The driver market in the USA, valued at over $1 billion annually,
represents close to 50% of all golf equipment sales. Even with the
four-fold increase in titanium costs, it is believed that over one hundred
thousand pounds of titanium is converted to golf clubs every month. Current
price trends, and tight titanium supply vs. scandium's value-added benefits
and performance enhancing features, allow E21 to be in a position to
manufacture components for other OEM and license component manufacturers to
work with its alloys.
About Element 21 Golf Company:
Prior to the end of 2005 PGA Tour an unprecedented number of high profile
golf professionals have switched or began testing E21's Scandium Eagle One
shafts. Element 21 is utilizing its experience working with advanced
Scandium metal alloys to introduce this unique space-age material to the
golf industry. Scandium alloys were originally developed for application in
aerospace application including MiG series fighter jets, leading-edge
missile applications, and the International Space Station.
Scandium metal alloy clubs represent the first new innovation in golf clubs
in decades. Scandium provides significant increases in distance as well as
accuracy and consistency. Due to Scandium's advanced composition, coupled
with numerous design innovations, these clubs offer improved feel while
reducing shock transfer to the player's hands.
