Vince Howell Wins LD with AccuFLEX Golf PRO LD
Press Release

Northern California Native Uses AccuFLEX’s "A2" Graphite Technology To Earn The Biggest Win of His Professional Long Drive Career.

AccuFLEX Golf (www.accuflexgolf.com) Long Drive Team member Vince Howell used his AccuFLEX PRO LD to take the 2002 Pinnacle LDA Tour Championship, held the past weekend in Lewisville, Texas. The Pinnacle LDA Tour’s inaugural season finale was dominated by Howell, who beat a field of most of the world’s longest drivers in cruising to a relatively easy victory. Vinny "Boom Boom" Howell outdistanced his nearest competitor by more than twenty yards in the final round. This was especially impressive as the final group was hitting into a very strong headwind.

Howell’s win with AccuFLEX’s A2 advanced design composite comes off the heels of last month’s ReMax World Long Drive Championships. The 2002 World finals were dominated in record-setting fashion by AccuFLEX as the company’s shafts were used by the men’s open division champion, Carl Wolter, men’s senior division champ Pat Dempsey and by the girl’s junior division winner Lauren Motyl. Vince Howell’s victory puts an exclamation point on AccuFLEX’s outstanding performance in Long Drive in 2002.

"We at AccuFLEX are so proud of Vince Howell," AccuFLEX president Jody Baucom stated. "Vinny has been known for years as one of the most talented athletes in the sport. Earlier this year at a qualifier he hit one 430 yards, which I think was forty yards past his nearest competitor. It’s awesome that he was able to bust out this past weekend in such a big way at such a high profile event. Congratulations to Vince Howell. What a great way for AccuFLEX to close out the 2002 Long Drive season!"

"I am so thrilled with this victory," Howell began. "This is by far my biggest win ever. After switching to the PRO LD in August, I have been steadily increasing my distance and my accuracy has never been better. Over the last week in practice I had gained several more yards and I told some of my closest friends that I might really win the LDA Tour Championship. I guess everything came together at the right time. I really owe a lot to the AccuFLEX PRO LD. It’s an amazing shaft."
