Deutsche Bank Championship Win for Element 21 Scandium Shafts

Element 21 Golf Company (OTCBB: ETGF) (FRANKFURT: BJQ), the manufacturer of advanced Scandium Alloy golf and fishing
equipment, announced today that the player using Element 21 Scandium shafts
has won the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday for his second straight
victory in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup.
This player switched to the Scandium shafts in the summer of 2007 and has
been using scandium shafts on UNENDORSED basis since then.
In a recent interview, the player attributed his wins to the accuracy of
his irons that have been shafted with Scandium shafts for over a year.
This player has a reputation as being the hardest working professional
golfer, hitting thousands of golf balls on the practice range daily and
playing in numerous events worldwide each year. Following his switch to the
Scandium shafts, he was quoted as saying that he experienced less vibration
-- and, therefore, less strain -- in his elbows when he hits the Scandium
shafts. He has suffered from an ongoing elbow injury, so the Scandium
shafts, with vibration dampening 'ShockBlok' technology, help keep that
from flaring up.
"These several wins give Element 21 significant visibility on the PGA Tour.
The fact that top players are using this technology on unendorsed basis is
a true endorsement, even though we cannot use the player's name and
likeness to get the Scandium message across," stated Dr. Nataliya Hearn,
Element 21's CEO.
Scandium Metal Shaft Technology:
Scandium Metal Shafts are manufactured using a proprietary 25-step
production process to create a seamless, extruded shaft. Variable wall
thickness and the alloy's high tensile strength results in a vibration
dampening system called ShockBlok(TM) with 270% better shock attenuation
than steel shafts that protects golfers' bodies, bones and joints. Each
Scandium shaft is made from a single piece of Scandium Metal resulting in
unmatched consistency from club to club as well as unprecedented accuracy
and distance and an industry leading torque of as low as 1.4 degrees.
On average, the Scandium Shafts registered substantially longer distance
than any other shafts it tested against, in some cases by as much as 16
yards at identical swing speeds, using identical 6 iron heads for the test.
While the added distance of the Scandium shafts was impressive the
dispersion/accuracy ratings it achieved were even more overwhelming. The
Scandium shafts recorded dispersion/accuracy ratings as low as +/-1.33 feet
from the target zone on center hits. This low dispersion rating showed that
the Element 21 Scandium shafts are nearly 5 TIMES more accurate than their
nearest competitor.
Scandium Metal Shafts are exclusively distributed in USA by Kanata Shaft
Company. Additional information on the Scandium Shafts can be found at:
