Element 21 Golf Company Introduces Its New E21 Metal Technology At The 2005 PGA Merchandise Show

Press Release

Posted 2005-01-27

Irvine, CA. – The Element 21 Golf Company is pleased to introduce exciting new technology to the golf industry that is unlike anything ever seen before. Advancements in strength to weight efficiencies have been brought to the U.S. out of Russian aerospace research programs by the Element 21 Golf Company (NASDAQ EGLF.OB) with the introduction of a brand new material, E21 Metal. The E21 Metal provides the highest Strength-to-Weight Ratio of any material used in golf today with a 36% Strength-to-Weight Advantage over Titanium and a 40% Strength-to-Weight Advantage over Graphite.

Element 21 Golf will officially be unveiling their line of E21 Metal Performance SystemTM clubs, at the upcoming 2005 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, January 27th thru the 30th in Booth #5244 and at their Press Conference on Friday, January 28th at 10:00 a.m. where everyone is invited to attend.

Element 21 will also be showcasing this technology during the Demo Day at Orange County National on Wednesday, January 26th. In addition to the E21 Irons, an E21 Metal Driver will be introduced for 2005.

Element 21 Golf Company’s new E21 Metal Performance SystemTM clubs with SHOCK-BLOKTM Technology are unlike anything else on the market right now. The club incorporates an E21 Metal shaft that:

1. Redirects the vibration normally felt in the hands and arms back to the club head (thus giving an extra “energy-kick” to the golf ball and subsequently increasing distance).

2. Maintains a crystal clear signature of the contact between the club head and the golf ball providing the golfer with a “softer feel” and unprecedented control over every shot.

This is the first major advancement in materials in the golf industry in over 20 years. The E21 Metal Performance SystemTM clubs from Element 21 Golf have demonstrated superiority over both graphite and steel in independent testing by producing shots up to 30 yards longer. Engineers at Element 21 Golf attribute this performance improvement not just to the lively head design but also to the highly responsive E21 Metal shaft. In today’s market it is very difficult to push the performance of a head since rebound velocities are limited by USGA regulations. The key, therefore, is in the shaft. The shaft design must allow the shaft to recover from the initiation of a swing where the moment of inertia, resisted by the heads weight, imposes a backward bend in the shaft. The shaft must recover just before the club head strikes the ball in order to impose the greatest impact force resulting in the balls’ projection and ultimate distance. Element 21 Golf Company has tuned the shaft design for maximum performance through their proprietary E21 Metal System chemistry. Since the alloy is of a homogenous structure and posses extremely fine crystalline grains, the potential resistive energy imposed during a swing is not lost. Such losses are found in graphite/epoxy composite type construction where the epoxy matrix cannot translate the load forces that the graphite fibers resist.
