Palm
Desert, CA - Coming March 15, PowerBilt will debut the latest rendition
of its popular Air Force One driver, the Air Force One DFX.
DFX
stands for Deep Face Extreme. Once the golfer stands over this driver,
They will see the difference. The clubface is now 5 mm deeper than the
previous version, which catches the ball at impact slightly longer and
combines with the nitrogen inside the clubhead to create reduced spin
and more distance.
"We
reduced the nitrogen pressure to 80 pounds, for better impact feel,"
says Ross Kvinge, President of PowerBilt. "This new amount of nitrogen
generates a tremendous trampoline effect for increased ball speed. In
fact, now the trampoline effect is up to the USGA maximum limit. Shot
dispersion is also the tightest ever in our drivers. And by adding 6
grams low and forward in the clubhead, we moved the CG lower and more
forward than in any other Air Force One driver. We did this to appease
our clubfitters who requested a better smash factor. I can confidently
say that this is the most solid driver we have ever produced."
PowerBilt's
patented Nitrogen N7 "Nitrogen Charged" technology makes its debut in
the Air Force One DFX driver, as well; it's a newly patented method to
reinforce the clubface without adding any weight. That means every
golfer can benefit from maximum C.O.R., maximum C.T., maximum trampoline
effect, and maximum smash factor for incredible distance.
The
Air Force One DFX features a forged titanium body with titanium cup
face technology, as well as aerodynamic clubhead shaping. It's available
in both the high MOI and Tour Series, in lofts of 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5° and
12.5°. Standard shaft length is 45 ½". The club is offered in several
leading shaft models from the top OEM shaft brands, so that golfers will
achieve the optimum launch angle and spin rate for their unique swing.
MSRP starts at $299.99, and there is an upcharge for ultra premium shaft
options.
Golf
media have already taken notice of the Air Force One DFX driver.
MyGolfSpy tested it, and reported: Surprise, surprise, surprise (I'm not
actually surprised), here's the PowerBilt Air Force One rounds out our
top 5. The numbers were excellent among our lower swing speed players,
and we think we probably could have done better at the higher swing
speeds too. You won't find many companies who offer a better selection
of stock shafts, and you won't find many heads that perform better
either. Joke all you want about the Nitrogen, this one is legit."
Golfers can pre-order the Air Force One DFX driver before March 15, by calling 888-488-4653 or visiting www.powerbilt.com.
