Nelly Korda and Aerotech SteelFiber Win the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open

Nelly Korda won the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open last weekend by holding off hard-charging defending champion Jin Young Ko for her second career LPGA Tour victory.  The 20-year old champion shot an impressive 5-under, 67 at the Grange Golf Club, and using Aerotech SteelFiber i80 graphite shafts in her irons put on a ball-striking clinic.  Korda hit 15 of 18 greens in the final round, and finished with a 17-under total of 271. 

 

Despite not being able to repeat as champion, Ko shot the low score of the round at 8-under, 64, and also trusted Aerotech SteelFiber shafts in her irons.  Ko scorched the greens, hitting 17 of 18 greens in regulation.  Ko's shafts are SteelFiber prototypes exclusive to the Asian market. 

Last year Korda captured her first LPGA win with a victory at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Taiwan Championship.  And the win made Korda and her older sister Jessica just the third pair of sisters to win on Tour. 

 

President of Aerotech Golf, Chris Hillary said: 

"We congratulate the champion on finishing strong for her second LPGA victory.  SteelFiber graphite shafts deliver winning performance on pro tours around the world and unlike other shafts on the market today, SteelFiber shafts reduce vibration, reduce player fatigue, and increase clubhead speed while simultaneously delivering superior consistency and stability." 

I have SteelFiber shafts in a set of Miura CB-501 irons and can attest to their superior performance.  SteelFiber's revolutionary composite engineering combines a high-modulus graphite core with 59 miles of steel fiber lacing the shaft surface. 

 

The shaft's graphite core provides vibration dampening, increased clubhead speed, and maximum distance.  While the steel fibers produce optimum weighting for a solid feel at impact, and add stability and control for pinpoint accuracy. 

This year Aerotech has also released new SteelFiber fc shafts for players looking for slightly higher launch, but still desiring the softer feel of graphite and trajectory control of steel. 

 

Few things can change your game as quickly as the right shafts in your clubs.  And if you're looking to re-shaft your irons or wedges, or maybe you're just curious about Aerotech shafts and their success on all professional Tours, I'd strongly recommend trying them out or getting fit.  The SteelFiber family of shafts is one of the best on the market and in a class of their own.
