Bo Jackson Using Accuflex "Icon" Shaft

Press Release




AccuFLEX Golf announced today that former National Football League and Major League baseball superstar Bo Jackson is now using its premium ICON shaft in his drivers. About two months ago Jackson experimented with AccuFLEX Golf's new VS 339 shaft and was encouraged by the shaft's performance. At the recent Cialis Western Open at Cog Hill in Illinois, one of the tour technicians for the event re-shafted Bo's driver with an AccuFLEX ICON and he has been hitting it ever since. AccuFLEX Golf is currently re-shafting the rest of Bo Jackson's drivers with ICON shafts. Jackson's passion for competition has moved to the links. Bo plays golf regularly and participates in many celebrity and charity events all over the country. AccuFLEX Golf is proud that Mr. Jackson will now be carrying the ICON shaft in his golf bag.

"I am very proud that Bo Jackson is enjoying our ICON shaft," AccuFLEX president Jody Baucom began. "When our Sales and Marketing Director Steve Zunich told me that Mr. Jackson had called him to inquire about our products a couple of months ago, it was quite exciting. We first tried Bo in our VS 339 in a double-X flex. Mr. Jackson reported to Steve that the VS 339 was the best shaft he had ever hit to date. Last week Steve got another call and Bo told him that he had occasion to hit our ICON shaft and that he liked it even better. We are currently re-shafting Bo's backup drivers with the ICON shaft. I have to say that this is one of my greatest thrills since I started AccuFLEX Golf four years ago. I am really proud that one of baseball's most powerful hitters ever, and the greatest two-sport athlete of all time, feels that he has finally found a shaft that can hold up to his swing."

"I am really pleased with the distance and accuracy of the ICON shaft," Jackson stated. "The control and kick of this shaft is like nothing I've ever experienced. I reached a 547-yard par 5 the other day with driver and six-iron. Other shafts I've hit don't give me this kind of opportunity. I really appreciate Jody and his very helpful staff at AccuFLEX Golf. You make great products."
