Of Quality And Value!

NEWARK, Ohio (March 26, 2003) - Great golf equipment does not require
a second mortgage! The Golfworks and veteran golf club designers Ralph
Maltby and Britt Lindsey have created the perfect combination of great
design and great value in the new DistanceMaster Series of components.
"We wanted to introduce some value products to clubmakers that were
also quality products," said Britt Lindsey, Vice President of Technical
Services and Product Development for The GolfWorks. "Not every customer
of a custom clubmaker wants the most high tech and expensive club. They
want a good-looking, high-quality product that performs, at a good price.
That is what DistanceMaster is all about.
"Through countless hours
of evaluation and testing, we were able to produce product that will
perform as well, if not better, than many of
the much more expensive offerings out there. A clubmaker can build a
set of steel-shafted irons for around $100. A Titanium driver with a
graphite shaft can be built for under $75. This allows the clubmaker
to actually make some margin and still compete with some of the lower-priced
equipment on the market. Equipment that is typically not of very good
quality."
The DistanceMaster line includes three series of matching metal woods
and irons -- Pro Steel, Pro Launch and Pro Balanced -- as well as a wedge
series, a putter series, a quality chipper and a complete line of graphite
shafts. It's a full line of components that is full of opportunity for
custom clubmakers.
- The DistanceMaster Pro Steel driver is a 300cc Hyper Steel (High-Strength
Steel) head that truly applies the latest in materials technology to
a stainless steel driver. The high strength of Hyper Steel allows for
a thinner face design, which increases spring effect. Driver loft is
10 degrees. Fairway woods are 17-4 stainless and set up to the ball
perfectly. The irons are 431 stainless and are a beautiful high-polish
stainless with a bead blasted cavity. The Playability Factor Rating
puts these clubs in the super game improvement category for a set anyone
can play! Pro Steel woods and irons are available in RH and LH.
- The DistanceMaster Pro Launch Titanium driver is designed
with proven playability features to maximize launch angle and
get the ball airborne and down the fairway. Four-piece forged
titanium construction and a 6-4 titanium face provide great
feel, sound and performance. At under $55, it is truly a great
value! The driver is available in 9 and 10.5 degree lofts.
Fairway woods have the same unique design characteristics and
are made of 17-4 stainless. Pro Launch 431 stainless steel
irons have a great look with a shot peen finish and blasted
tri level cavity. The blade profile is slightly more traditional
in shape, but the performance is definitely Game Improvement,
according to the Maltby Playability Factor.
- The DistanceMaster Pro Balanced Titanium
driver is a favorite of The GolfWorks Product
Development team for its overall look and performance.
The sole design is striking and the 6-4 Titanium
four-piece forged construction provides high-tech
performance at a great price (also under $55).
The driver is available in 9.5 and 10.5 degree
lofts. The 17-4 stainless steel fairway woods
set up great behind the ball and offer slightly
stronger lofts to maximize distance. Pro Balance
irons are mid-size, Super Game Improvement
designs that will benefit a broad range of
players. A slightly larger hitting area and
a progressive offset allow these irons to set
up great behind the ball. The notched cavity
gives the design added heel and toe weighting
which translates into added forgiveness. Like
the Pro Steel, this is a design all golfers
can play, and a head of this quality and playability
for under $7 is hard to find.
