Newton Golf Shafts Helps Propel Doug Barron to His First Major Championship on the PGA TOUR Champions
May 14 2024 - 7:15AM
Newton Golf Shafts, a business division of Sacks Parente Golf, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SPGC) (“SPG” or the “Company”), announces that Doug
Barron, a member of Newton Shafts’ roster, clinched his first major
championship on the PGA TOUR Champions at the Regions Tradition
held May 9 – 12, 2024 using the Newton Motion shaft in his driver.
This marked Barron’s third career victory and
his first since 2020. His success underscores the unrivaled
performance and precision engineered into every Newton Motion
shaft, further cementing its position as a key differentiator on
the PGA TOUR Champions. A total of five players on the PGA TOUR
Champions trusted the Newton shaft in their drivers last week,
including Newton Shafts’ brand ambassadors Barron and Ken Duke.
Additionally, three other PGA TOUR Champions members elevated their
game with the Newton Motion shafts in their fairway woods.
Barron secured his two-stroke victory with a
four-under-par final round score of 68. Finishing the week with a
driving accuracy of 72% and combined with his longest drive of the
tournament of 301 yards, Barron was pleased with the performance of
his Newton Motion driver shaft.
“My friend Ken Duke introduced me to the Newton
shaft earlier this year and I found that after three days of
playing with it and comparing it to my old shaft, I had a tighter
dispersion and five more yards in distance,” said Barron. “The
Newton shaft has made a big difference in my driving and
unquestionably gave me confidence to win my first major
championship last week.”
Barron debuted the Newton Motion shaft in
competition for the first time at the Hoag Classic Newport Beach in
March, where he tied for 15th. In his last two starts, Barron has
finished tied for second and won, respectively. His victory at the
Regions Tradition catapulted him an impressive 20 spots in the
Schwab Cup rankings, and he is now securely positioned in fifth
place.
So far this year, approximately 10 players have
used a Newton Motion shaft in their drivers on the PGA TOUR
Champions.
The Newton Motion shaft is a ready-to-play
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; Kinetic Storage Construction, Newton Symmetry360 Design,
and a Variable Bend profile.
In addition to the four technologies, instead of
using the traditional categorization of shaft flexes of ladies,
senior, regular, stiff, extra-shift, etc., the Newton Motion shaft
uses a DOT system. Ranging from one to six dots, the system allows
for a seamless transition from the most flexible shaft at one dot
to the stiffest at six dots.
