Nakashima Golf Launches NP-R Line of Utility Metal Woods
Press Release

Stockton, CA, August 19, 2004 -- Nakashima Golf (www.nakashimagolf.com) officially launched its NP-R line of utility clubs. Nakashima Golf's growing reputation for designing high performance golf equipment with an unparalleled attention to detail continues with the introduction of the NP-R2, NP-R3 and NP-R4 Utility Metal Woods, which are specifically designed to replace the 2-, 3- and 4-Irons in a set. Nakashima Golf products are available through a growing international network of master club builders and equipment-savvy pro shops. Nakashima Golf's NP-R Utility Metal Woods' "hot" forged face features variable face thickness to provide the highest ball velocity at impact. Nakashima's proprietary Super Micro Grain forging process enables the company to create a sound and feel that is unmatched in the industry.

"We are very pleased to announce our NP-R line of Utility Metal Woods," Nakashima Golf founder and president John Nakashima began. "Each week we hear more and more reports of Tour players using 'Utility' or 'Rescue' clubs out on the professional golf circuit and it really makes a lot of sense. These clubs are easier to hit, can be used out of trouble and are just as accurate as the long irons that we all struggle with. If you add the fact that you can chip really well with these clubs, then it makes all the sense in the world to have one or two in your bag. It's especially important for the average club player to get on the utility club bandwagon as we really need the forgiveness offered by these clubs more than the world's top professionals. What distinguishes our NP-R series from the rest is our superior design, craftsmanship and attention to detail. From Nakashima's already noted "hot" forged face to the continuous sole curvature that we incorporate from heel to toe that makes it possible for the NP-R to perform from a variety of the most difficult lies, I assure you that you will not find a better Utility club on the market today."

Nakashima Golf Master Club Builder Ken Racca of Ken's Custom Clubs in New York had this to say about the Nakashima NP-R line of Utility Metal Woods. "The Nakashima NP-R Utility clubs are the best I have ever played. The face is hot and yet it's designed with the perfect amount of bulge and roll so that you can control your shots exceedingly well. Nakashima's Utility clubs are better than any other 'hybrid' club on the market because they provide the best consistency, control, distance and feel. All golfers should be carrying 'hybrid' or Utility clubs in their bag and Nakashima makes the best on the market, without a doubt. I'm proud to feature Nakashima's superior line of golf equipment here at Ken's Custom Clubs."
