NUNCHUK Shaft Delivers Playoff Win at Barracuda Championship

(RELEASE) - The NUNCHUK Precision Shaft scored its third professional tournament win of 2015 with a thrilling playoff victory at the Barracuda Championship.  By knocking down a 15-foot eagle putt on the second playoff hole, the winner scored his third PGA Tour victory and locked up a spot in next week’s PGA Championship at Whistling Straits. The winner was one of three players that finished in the Top 20, including a sixth place and T-18 finisher, that trust NUNCHUK shafts in their bag.

Last weekend’s win continues a string of strong performances in 2015 by players using NUNCHUK shafts.  These included wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Senior PGA Championship.  In addition to his sixth place finish at the Barracuda Championship, a two-time U.S. Open champion that plays NUNCHUK xi iron shafts logged a T4 finish at the BMW International Open on the European Tour and a top-20 finish at the Open Championship.

“PGA Tour players rely on NUNCHUK shafts to help them perform at the highest levels, when the pressure is at its highest,” said Arnie Cunningham, NUNCHUK PGA Tour representative. “When you’re competing against the best players in the world, accuracy is critical.  Every week, PGA Tour players tell me that the accuracy and consistency of NUNCHUK shafts give them the confidence to just aim and swing - no matter how narrow the fairway or how small the green.”

“We are excited that NUNCHUK shafts could be a part of another PGA Tour win,” said Mike McCall, nVentix Golf CEO. “Since its introduction, we have seen the NUNCHUK shaft winning at all levels – from the PGA Tour and Champions Tour to junior golf tournaments and local golf courses around the globe. Golfers around the world are seeing how the stability and consistency of the NUNCHUK line of shafts can help bring the fun back to their golf game.”

The revolutionary technology in the NUNCHUK’s groundbreaking design allows the exact same shaft to be used by professionals and amateurs, men and women, juniors and seniors – the original NUNCHUK in their drivers and fairway woods, the NUNCHUK 370 in their hybrids and NUNCHUK xi in their irons and wedges. “When you’ve got a NUNCHUK in your bag, you’re playing EXACTLY what the pros play,” McCall added.
