I know you guys are probably sick of listening to me talk about my Ashton component heads, but here is a press release I just ran across this morning.
I do not work for Ashton, I just truely beleve that they have the best product on the market and I think everyone would benefit from their products.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada August 16th 2005
Ashton Golf captures the 2005 United States Long Drive Tour Championship
Ashton Golf would like to congratulate Mike Wiebe of Toronto, Canada on his win at the inaugural Sean Fister Classic long drive competition in Arkansas. Amongst a world-class field consisting of 3 former world champions, he blasted an impressive, virtually all carry, 348yd drive; outdistancing his next competitor by 7 yards to win the event.
“ I was a little nervous,” says Wiebe. “It’s been a while since I’ve made it to the final shootout. This definitely brought back memories of when I finished 7th at the 2000 Re/Max World Long Drive Finals. The difference is I felt really comfortable with my swing and have been working very hard on my physical conditioning. The grid was very soft and my 348 ball didn’t roll much. It’s just a great feeling when you hit your best and are rewarded for it.”
Mike used an Ashton Golf X-1 9.5 degree driver to win the $17,500 U.S. first prize.
“We’re very proud of Mike and happy for him” says Ashton Golf President Cliff Barron. “I’ve personally known Mike for over 6 years and I knew his time to break out in a tournament was near. We’re very fortunate that an impressive group of the world’s elite long drive competitors choose to play our product. In fact, in 2005 Ashton Golf has won 2 of the 4 “major” long drive competitions held in the U.S. That’s a 50% success record. Pretty amazing considering over 90% of the field uses our competitor’s products. The X-1 is simply the best head out there and it’s slowly being recognized for its performance. The engineering that’s gone into the interior of the club is second to none. The face material is more responsive and forgiving than any other driver and the interior construction transfers more pure energy to the ball. In my opinion it’s the best of the best. The fact that Mike accomplished this 348 yard drive with a “stock” 45” club length shows off his raw talent and also highlights the performance of the X-1.”
Ashton Golf is a manufacturer of high quality precision golf components. Their X-Brid hybrid club is the newest addition to their line. Ashton Golf will have numerous players hitting the X-1 at the 2005 Re/Max World Long Drive Finals in Mesquite, Nevada in October.
