TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/06/06 -- Element 21 Golf Company (E21) (OTC BB: EGLF) today
provided information on independent robotic accuracy testing of its new
Scandium "Shock" driver.
The testing that was conducted at an independent laboratory and
demonstrated repeatedly that E21's Scandium "Shock" Driver was
approximately 3 times more accurate than titanium drivers. The average
dispersion for the "Shock" Driver was less than 7 yards off center compared
to 22 yards for the titanium drivers tested. The test data collected was
for center hits only, and was conducted to verify the dynamic properties of
E21's Scandium alloy driver head. E21's driver, which has a much larger
ball response hitting area, produced the lowest recorded angle of deviation
off-center of just 1.6 degrees compared to 4.2 degrees for titanium driver
heads.
"This data arrives in time to accompany 2006 spring shipments, as inventory
of drivers, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters are due to arrive April
15-30, 2006.
"The extensive computer simulations and player testing we, and others have
seen in recent weeks, have been validated," stated Dr. Nataliya Hearn,
President and CEO of E21. "We feel this is a very significant game
improving statistic that will benefit players of all handicaps. We are
certain that several PGA professionals will appreciate the superior
accuracy of our Scandium 'Shock' Driver," commented Dr. Hearn.
By utilizing the unique properties of Scandium, E21 has been able to
optimize the center of gravity by placing weight where it is needed most
and design the curvature of the face (bulge & roll) to minimize dispersion
on both off center drives and drives hit on low or high on the face.
E21 will continue to conduct testing of its driver and our other new
products during the coming weeks.
About Element 21 Golf Company:
Prior to the end of 2005 PGA Tour an unprecedented number of high-profile
golf professionals have switched or began testing E21's Scandium Eagle One
shafts.
E21 holds the exclusive right to manufacture golf products using
proprietary Scandium Metal Alloy. Through a sophisticated multi-technology
production path E21 manufactures Scandium drivers, shafts and other clubs
with marked improvements in distance, accuracy and feel over competing
products. E21's Scandium Alloy is 55% lighter and offers 25% strength to
weight advantage over Titanium alloys, the current standard in the golf
equipment industry. The advanced dynamics of Scandium and the material
economics offer a performance-enhanced alternative to manufacturing driver
clubs with Titanium, the largest segment of the annual 4 billion dollar
golf equipment marketplace.
E21 recently announced its "Golf Shot Around the World Mission" in
celebration the 35th anniversary of Alan B. Shepard Jr., 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
Scandium is also used on the Space Station in high strength, fatigue
resistant applications.
E21 Golf -- The Evolution Is Inevitable!
