GRAFALLOY TO MAKE FIRST PRODUCTION EPIC^® SHAFT

AVAILABLE FOR BID ON EBAY

Memphis, TN…On Thursday, February 8th at 8:00 AM EST, Grafalloy will make the first production Epic shaft available for purchase on the online auction site eBay^®. The shaft, listed as item number 130077482619 is being sold directly from Grafalloy to offer one lucky consumer the chance of a lifetime…to own the first production Epic shaft over 3 years in development. The winning bidder of the 5-day auction will also receive a letter of authenticity from the company. The shaft available for auction is a 68 gram S Flex 46” driver shaft in a .335” tip configuration.

“Everything about Epic is one-of-a-kind, so this is a fun way to create additional excitement around the shaft and give one person a unique opportunity,” states Chad Hall, Director of Marketing. “I can’t wait until the bidding begins.”

Constructed from revolutionary Nanofuse^® material, Epic was introduced at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida in late January and will be available to the public in mid-March in driver, fairway wood and hybrid designs. Through extensive robotic and player test data, Epic has shown to produce increased distance with up to a 35% improvement in shot dispersion compared to graphite shafts on the market today. Additional information is available at www.epicshaft.com.

The Epic series of shafts are designed and manufactured by True Temper Sports, the leading manufacturer of golf shafts in the world and consistently the number one shaft on all professional tours globally. The Company markets a complete line of shafts under the True Temper^®, Grafalloy^® and Rifle^® shaft brands, and sells these brands in over thirty countries throughout the world.

Funny, someone is going to pay big bucks for that shaft and their buddies won't give a damn about it being the first one sold Whoever buys it better hope they hit it straight and long!

[pvs1313]

[Ginker]

I want to get 1 of the Epic shafts for my son to evaluate.
Hoping they make 1 model 60 grams or less at X to XX flex.
He will compare to Grafalloy Prototype COMP Nano 65-X [XX-flex].
He will put the Epic in his backup Ti 454 in LH.

I can wait a few months until the price is more reasonable.
Can't hit balls now with 3 feet of snow outside anyway ...

[MusicMan]

had a Grafalloy Prototype COMP Nano 65-S.... great shaft! its in the Saints hi-bore now lol

[Chieflongtee]

Funny how they don't list the names of the bidders anymore.

[MusicMan]

[Chieflongtee]

$711.06...

getting closer to my prediction

(4 days 13 hours) left. I think your prediction will double unless you are in on a little secret.

[BC MIST]

$75. This is my bid to first OG Forum member who buys this latest shaft flavour of the month, thinking he is going to get an extra 20 yards, and does NOT.

The Graffaloy people are not fools. They know that half the golfers have had green shafts in their drivers for two years and are now looking for the latest vaccination to cure their swing flaws. Remember: Your flu shot contained mercury and antifreeze.

What kind of swing is the Epic best suited for? A 3-2-2? A 1-2-3? A 3-3-3?

[Nat Williams]

The Graffaloy people are not fools.

It's definatley brilliant advertising ... How many people even knew this shaft existing before seeing this article / auction?

Wonder if they will make it a standard release style?
