BELLINGHAM, Washington — Aerotech Golf’s SteelFiber shafts, the No. 1 composite iron shafts in golf, earned another Top 10 money position at this weekend’s Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., and is well on pace to score the best season record in the company’s history.

Playing SteelFiber shafts in his Bridgestone irons, the 12-year pro shot one eagle and 18 birdies for a 11-under-269 for a share of the top money. SteelFiber composite shafts feature a high-modulus graphite core with 59 miles of steel fiber lacing the shaft surface — a performance-paced combination that provides players with the power of graphite and the stability of steel.

“Composite iron shaft technology is making waves across the pro tour, and we’re very excited to lead the industry in this innovative technology. So far this season on the PGA TOUR, we already have ten Top 10 finishes, including two wins and one of those being The PLAYERS Championship. Unlike any other shafts in golf today, SteelFiber composite iron shafts provide the consistency and stability that players really appreciate in steel shafts as well as provide greater vibration dampening that reduces player fatigue and risk of injury. It’s the best of both worlds,” said Aerotech Golf President Chris Hilleary.

SteelFiber shafts were the No. 1 composite irons shafts on the PGA Tour in 2010 and 2011. SteelFiber shafts combine graphite and steel fiber to seamlessly create a perfect blend of power and stability. The shafts deliver extreme performance through innovative composite engineering that combines a high-modulus graphite core with 59 miles of steel fiber lacing the shaft surface. While the shaft’s graphite core provides vibration dampening, increased clubhead speed and maximum distance, the steel fibers produce optimum weighting for a solid feel at impact and add stability and control for pinpoint accuracy. Originally developed for irons the SteelFiber technology now enhances the performance of hybrids, fairway woods and drivers.
