Nakashima Golf Launches NP-1 Line of Fairway Metal Woods

Press Release

Posted 2004-08-21

Stockton, CA, August 16, 2004 -- Nakashima Golf (www.nakashimagolf.com) announced the official launch of its NP-1 Fairway Metals. Nakashima Golf's NP-1 drivers have exploded on the golf club making scene through Nakashima's ever-growing international network of master club builders and equipment-savvy pro shops. Through extensive testing and through the experience of Nakashima's network of Master Club Builders, Nakashima Golf's NP-1 Fairway Metals have already been proven to be worthy of carrying the NP-1 name. Nakashima's NP-1 Fairway Metals feature a precisely located center of gravity that is deep and low to create an optimum high launch for maximum carry distance. Because the Nakashima Fairway Metals are engineered with an advanced 2-piece, "face-pull" construction, energy loss is avoided at impact, which is important in creating maximum transfer to the ball. This means that more energy will be expended in getting the ball going toward the target, thus increasing accuracy.

"I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of the Nakashima NP-1 Fairway Metals," Nakashima Master Club Builder Larry Gibson, award winning club builder and owner of Larry's Custom Clubs of Texas began. "Nakashima Golf's line of equipment is awesome. They are master craftsmen and truly make outstanding high performance equipment. At Larry's Custom Clubs we use launch monitors to do thorough fittings and performance evaluations for each customer that comes to us. I can tell you that Nakashima Golf makes equipment that is so easy to hit and also performs exceedingly well out on the golf course, where it counts. I had a customer that bought an NP-1 3-wood and 5-wood from me come in the other day. I asked him what he thought after playing them and he said that if I gave him three times what he paid for them, he still wouldn't give them back. All of my customers feel that way. Nakashima Golf offers the finest quality golf equipment available. It's a pleasure to be able to offer their products to my clients."

"We at Nakashima Golf are very proud of what we've accomplished with our NP-1 Fairway Metals," Nakashima Golf's director of sales and marketing Scott Son commented. "So far our drivers have been getting us most of the attention from golfers and club builders, which makes us very happy, of course. Everybody wants to hit their driver better so they're always looking for the answer and a lot of people have told us that Nakashima Golf's NP-1 driver has been the answer for them. It has been a real pleasure for us to see that our Fairway Metals are now getting noticed and that people are enjoying them as well. We appreciate Larry Gibson's comments on the NP-1 Fairways and it has been rewarding for me to hear comments like Larry's on a daily basis from the other dealers in our network of Master Club Builders. We at Nakashima Golf pride ourselves on making the finest equipment available and it's rewarding to know that we are contributing to the game improvement, and enjoyment, of more and more golfers."
