LUXURIOUS AND POWERFUL - MARUMAN GOLF EQUIPMENT TO RE-LAUNCH IN EUROPE

The Japanese premium Golf Equipment Manufacturer will present their exclusive high-end product lines for both women and men at the GOLF EUROPE 2007

Sensational golf equipment will be presented at booth # B5 437 at the GOLF EUROPE, which runs from October 7th to October 9th 2007. After a very successful PGA Show in Orlando, Florida, the prestigious brand Maruman Golf will now showcase its entire new collection in Europe. With over 100 wins on the world’s PGA Tours, including three major victories, Maruman Golf has a pedigree like few other golf equipment manufacturers in the world. Top-novelties like the “Metabio” driver continue this tradition. “Metabio” improves the game among others featuring the impressive “gravity angle”, and won Best of Show recognition at the PGA Show 2007 in Orlando. However, the highlight of the current collection is the “Majesty” line.

One look at the company’s premier driver, the “Majesty Prestigio”, shows what distinguishes this series and Maruman Golf as a whole. The outstanding quality of this driver derives, among other things, from technology and materials that no other competitor is using. Made with a Fullerene composite shaft and Maruman’s Nano Toughest Titanium Face, the “Majesty Prestigio” offers that inimitable feel that comes with hitting a perfect drive. The “Majesty Prestigio” lives up to its name, from the exquisite shaft detail to the golden-hued clubhead. Finished by selected craftsmen one by one, each head is something special. And surely the “Majesty Prestigio” is one of the most beautiful clubs to be found. “Majesty” was named the most expensive golf equipment of the world by the U.S. magazine Forbes in 2005.

The “Majesty Prestigio” will be accompanied by all kinds of impressive products for golfers. For instance the “Shuttle” series with game improvement Fairway Woods / Hybrids can be seen, and the famous “KS” series with Wedges created by renowned Maruman designer Kenzo Sugiyama. Maruman’s hot new “KS Wedge” was in John Bickerton’s bag when he won the 2006 European PGA Tour French Open. A novelty from the “Conductor” series, which will be released in 2008, will be announced. The series legendary irons were in the bag of Juvic Pagunsan, the 2006 Asian Tour Rookie of the Year.

With the current collection, Maruman Golf Equipment impressively demonstrates its drive for technological innovations. The company introduced the first high COR driver, as well as being the first company to bring nanotechnology to golf equipment. For the future the company is targeting to play an important role in Europe. The starting shot at the GOLF EUROPE 2007 is the first step in achieving this objective.
