Nakashima Golf Launches NX-1 Line of Utility Woods

Press Release

Posted 2005-08-08

Nakashima Golf (www.nakashimagolf.com) announced today the launch of its NX-1 Utility Line of Hybrid Woods. Nakashima’s NX-1 Utility Woods are targeted toward golfers seeking maximum forgiveness and a higher launch condition. The moderate offset of the NX-1 Utility Woods gives golfers the ability to play an enhancing draw flight on their golf shots while not taking away the ability to fade the ball when needed. The NX-1 Utility Wood from Nakashima Golf, which has a growing reputation as one of the finest golf equipment manufacturers on the market today, comes in a distinguished "midnight" black pearl color that complements any of the exotic shaft colors available. Because Nakashima is revolutionizing the way original equipment manufacturers deliver golf clubs to the public, this fact is especially important. Traditionally golf equipment is sold by major manufacturers with only a "stock" shaft as an option. While Nakashima’s high quality standard shaft is available, Nakashima also offers its products through selected master club builders who can fit and customize Nakashima golf equipment to exacting standards not readily available to Nakashima’s competitors. Furthermore, the Nakashima NX-1 Utility Woods feature the same identical weight as Nakashima’s iron heads. For example the # 2 Nakashima utility wood head is the same weight as the Nakashima 2 iron. This makes Nakashima’s master club builders job of matching club performance that much easier and more precise. The Nakashima NX-1 Woods will be available in five different lofts designed to replace a one, two, three, four or five iron.

"We currently are noticing that more and more tour players and low handicappers are going to utility or hybrid clubs," Nakashima President John Nakashima stated. "The mid to high handicappers have already discovered the benefits of replacing their 2, 3 and 4 irons with these inventive alternatives. But all golfers are now learning that mis-hits are greatly improved and that they will experience greater distance control and more distance with a utility club than they will with the long irons they’re used to playing with. It was our goal with the NX-1 Utility Woods to provide the best performing set of utility clubs ever made and we have done just that. That we accomplished our secondary goal of giving our NX-1 Utility Woods a ‘classic’ look that even the most discriminating traditionalist will appreciate makes us just as proud. When you look down at these clubs, you get the feeling that you’re playing with a traditional golf club, not a 21st century gimmick. From a performance standpoint, we created a sole that can handle tight lies while easily gliding through heavy rough. Another feature of the NX-1 Utility is the focus we placed on achieving a perfectly ‘flat’ position at address. Most of our competitors’ utility clubs have a serious problem at address. The head can easily move the clubface angle to a 5 degrees open position, which can lead to missed greens and more strokes per hole. The performance built into the Nakashima NX-1 Utility Woods will set the new standard for this product segment of the golf industry."
