Ernie Els Driver and 3 wood shaft an putter

gslabbert · March 27, 2006

I went to the Players and followed Ernie, and noticed that he was not using the Diamana. He was using a metallic light blue shaft in is Driver and 3 wood, does anywone know what shaft this is. Unfortunately I have no pictures.

Then on the 1st green he pulles off his Scotty cameron putter cover and out popped a Odyssey white steel center shaft putter. Hmmm ....

PACOIMA, CALIF. – With continued success and increasing earnings on the professional tours, Harrison graphite shafts are turning some heads, including those of the world’s top players. At the Bay Hill Invitational, the No. 5 ranked player in the world today custom-fit his driver with a Harrison Pro 2.5 80 graphite shaft, and reports indicate that the newly customized driver will be in play this week at THE PLAYERS’ Championship.

“Harrison shafts provide the extreme performance top-level players expect from quality equipment, and our graphite shafts are in the bags of many of world’s most-respected Tour winners,” says Michael Cheng, president of Harrison Sports. “We take our commitment to delivering high-performance shafts very seriously and we are always very honored when players switch to Harrison.”

Cheng explains that the Harrison Pro 2.5 is one of the hottest shafts on the Tour, and it is often touted by the players as providing superior distance and accuracy in clutch situations. In fact, the Pro 2.5 series can be seen in the bags of many top 10 winners along the Tour. The shaft provides players with a durable, premium product that features constant swing power and unmatched execution. The Harrison Pro 2.5 series shafts are composed of boron reinforced X-6200 graphite and feature mid- to high flex points and between 2.5 to 2.7 degrees of torque. Pro 2.5 FL shafts are available in varying weight options with flexes ranging from L/A to S/X.

Harrison shafts are made from the finest in graphite, titanium and boron materials and are among the Top Five of the most-used graphite shafts in the world. As technologically superior as they are eye-catching, Harrison shafts have become a popular and growing choice among Tour professionals, clubmakers and golf enthusiasts.

I believe this is the first graphite shaft that Ernie has used that hasn't cost $300(Speeder 757 and Diamana). The Harrison shaft is only $70. There's no way scotty would've let Ernie go to Augusta with an Odyssey.

Indeed, the retail version of this Harrison shaft is the same color. I know because I have one in my 905R and it ROCKS! There's a thread regarding this shaft. I just ordered the 80 gram version for my 3 wood. One of the best shafts I've ever hit, including Fuji Tour Specs, Diamana, V2, or Rombax.

Nope!

Not a Newport.

It's the DANDY putter.

It's apparently a one time use, too! :) (EE putt BAD... according to him.)

So this shaft is now available for the 905R and fairways?

I'll have to investigate this!

I don't know if the Harrison shaft is available through Titleist. I had my local club guy do the reshaft. I trust them 100% as they do some tour players' stuff.
