New Hyprid Golf Clubs Annouced: Element 21 Golf Company

Posted in Golf, Golf News, Golf Products on June 14th, 2006

Element 21 Golf Company (”E21″) (OTCBB:EGLF) announced today that E21’s new Hybrid club received Golfing Magazine’s prestigious 2006 “Players’ Choice Award” for “Feel” in the Hybrid category.

Golfing Magazine’s (formerly Pub Links Golfer Magazine) annual Player’s Choice Awards for Hybrid clubs included 21 sets of irons from leading internationally recognized club manufacturers, including Callaway, Taylor Made, Ping, Cleveland, Mizuno, Wilson, Ben Hogan, Nike, Srixon, Sonartec, Tour Edge and Dunlop, among others. Golfing Magazine’s testing process for the Player’s Choice Awards utilizes Professional Golfers’ Association of America (”PGA”) professionals to supervise amateur golfers who test the clubs, both on the range and over at least one round of golf. Testers are asked to rate clubs on appearance, feel, forgiveness, accuracy, distance and value using a scale of 1 to 10. E21’s Hybrid club received an 8.5 rating.

The rankings, announced in this month’s edition of Golfing Magazine, provided the following review of E21’s LGL Scandium irons: “A louvered effect on the crown plate of the club creates a corrugated effect providing additional strength to the club head design and allows more weight to strategic points within the sole of the club head to improve distance and accuracy. A hollow body design is filled with a patented high rebound aerospace polymer insert, which transfers more energy to the ball for livelier performance as well as maintaining a lower center of gravity. The scandium metal alloy shafts are one key factor in generating increased distance and significantly improving accuracy of these clubs.” One Tester’s comments - “Felt different than anything I tried, very solid, great sound.”

“To receive this award when so many leading golf manufacturers were tested is very satisfying and is in keeping with the feedback we are getting from players using our Hybrids,” commented Mr. Bill Dey, E21’s General Manager and Executive Vice President. “We also ranked very high in several other categories including appearance, forgiveness, accuracy, and playability,” reported Mr. Dey.

About Element 21 Golf Company:

E21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using proprietary E21 Alloys. Through a sophisticated multi-technology production path E21 manufactures shafts, drivers, and other clubs with marked improvements in distance, accuracy and feel over competing products. In recent months a number of high profile golf professionals have switched to or began testing E21’s Eagle One shafts. E21 Alloys are 55% lighter and offer 25% strength to weight advantage over Titanium alloys, the current standard in the golf equipment industry. The advanced dynamics of E21 Alloys and the material economics offer a performance-enhanced alternative to manufacturing driver clubs with Titanium, the largest segment of the annual $5.5 billion golf equipment marketplace.

E21 recently announced its “Golf Shot Around the World Mission” in celebration of the 35th anniversary of Alan B. Shepard Jr.’s historic Apollo 14 Mission. Just about every single record for distance in the golf industry will be shattered this fall when an astronaut will hit a golf ball into orbit around the earth — using an E21 golf club. It is only natural that this event takes place on the International Space Station, considering that E21 Alloys are also used on the Space Station in high strength, fatigue resistant applications.

The Proper Golf Clubs makes a Difference

Posted in Golf, Golf News, Golf Products on June 12th, 2006

If you are reading this, then you are probably at least moderately interested in playing golf or learning more about playing golf. The single most important thing I can tell you about playing golf is that having the right set of clubs for you matters. The clubs you buy will impact your golf game far more than any other golfing decision you will make.

You will most likely use your clubs for years to come, it only makes sense to consider them an investment and be prepared to invest heavily. Think of the countless hours of sheer joy and sheer agony you will spend with these clubs. They will be closer to you emotionally at times than your spouse. I highly recommend going to ping and having your clubs custom made. This carries a hefty price tag but the value it brings to your game is priceless. When you have clubs custom made for you rather than mass marketed to the average player you are giving yourself an advantage. Think about it, who that you know is perfectly average? Average height and weight, average arm length, average everything?

Mass marketed golf clubs are geared toward the average person with a few exceptions. I’m a lefty. I can get left handed clubs, they are less common than right-handed golf clubs but still available, I’m also a very short female. While I can find clubs for left handed people among the mass marketed clubs on the market, I have not once found clubs that are comfortable for my height.

Not everyone can have custom made clubs and that is understandable. If you can’t get those but want to take your golf game seriously and give yourself plenty of room to improve, it is wiser to buy each club individually than a complete set. This is because each manufacturer of golf clubs has strengths and weaknesses that may actually strengthen or weaken your game. Buy clubs with weaknesses that your swing compensates for and strengths in areas that you need to see improvement. This is a wise way to maximize the efficiency of mass marketed golf clubs.

And most importantly, if you seriously want to play golf, don’t go and buy the very first set of golf clubs you find. You really need to look around, try swinging the clubs a few times (yes each and every one of them), and then figure out what it is about each and every one that you do or do not like. If it’s the grip, that can be changed. If it’s the weight try a lighter club, if it’s too flexible you will want to go with a metal shaft, there are all kinds of little things that add up to make a golf club and if they all worked the same for everyone, there would only be one brand on the market.

A good set of clubs is not something to overlook lightly. They will have a significant impact on your golf game and your score (which for some also impacts heavily the enjoyment of the game). While the goal is to have fun, you can increase your fun by giving yourself the gift of better odds with the right set of golf clubs for you.
