Newton Shafts, a Division of Sacks Parente, Announces the Signing of PGA TOUR Champions Player Ken Duke as its First Player to its Roster
January 22 2024 - 8:15AM
Newton Golf Shafts, the newly established business division of
Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPGC) (“SPG” or the “Company”)
specializing in advanced shafts using proprietary carbon fiber
technology, announces the signing of PGA TOUR Champions player Ken
Duke as its first player to represent the Newton brand. Duke has
chosen to use the new Newton Motion Shaft in his driver during the
upcoming 2024 season.
Following his victory at last year’s Shaw
Charity Classic on the PGA TOUR Champions, Duke made the switch to
the Newton Motion shaft at the TOUR’S Constellation FURYK &
FRIENDS event in October. Notably, he ranked first in driving
accuracy in that event, successfully hitting 40 of 42 fairways,
setting the stage for a series of impressive performances. Since
incorporating the Newton Shaft into his bag, Duke has finished
first, third, tied for twelfth, and tied for first in driving
distance accuracy in events on the PGA Tour Champions.
“What I like about the Newton Shaft is that it
is very consistent,” said Duke. “As a professional golfer, that’s
what we look for. It’s unbelievable how I can shape it. Not only
that, but I’ve gained 6-15 yards with it and still get the height
that I want. I’m so excited about the shaft and how it can improve
my game.”
The Newton Motion driver shaft is a carbon fiber
shaft designed to enhance a golfer’s performance by promoting
straighter and longer shots with reduced effort. Using the
Company’s proprietary shaft design and construction, the Newton
Motion shaft features four essential technologies:
- Elongated Bend
Profile - The shaft is designed to bend over a longer span
of its length, improving club head speed. The added flexibility of
the carbon fiber gives the impression the golfer doesn’t need to
exert excessive force during the swing.
- Kinetic Storage
Construction – A proprietary construction empowers the
fibers to store more energy that is harnessed through the elongated
bend, resulting in a significant boost in exit velocity.
- Newton Symmetry360 Design
– ensures consistent flex, regardless of the driver’s
clocking position.
- Variable Bend Profile
– meticulously designed to match the bend and torque
requirements of each flex. Whether a slow or high swing speed, the
Newton Motion technology tailors to the torque.
“We are ecstatic that Ken put the shaft in his
bag so quickly,” said Greg Campbell, Executive Chairman, Sacks
Parente Golf, Inc. “It underscores the performance of our
proprietary technology aimed at helping players achieve longer and
straighter drives.”
In addition to his adoption of the Newton shaft,
Duke will collaborate with the Newton brand, providing valuable
player insights for product design.
