SRIXON INTRODUCES NEW WG-706 WEDGES
High Performance Wedges Feature Tour Design and Profile

ATLANTA, GA, August 7, 2007 -

Srixon Sports, a world leader in golf club and golf ball technology, announces today the new Srixon WG-706 Series. Some of the best short game players on the PGA Tour were instrumental in the design and shape of the new WG-706 wedges. The new wedges feature a forged carbon steel clubhead with a tour shape, profile and UV-Grooves resulting in increased spin on all shots.

The engraved UV-Grooves of the WG-706 feature a sidewall angle that has been reduced by 75% over its predecessor, increasing the total groove volume and further allowing the dirt, grass and moisture to channel away from the clubface. In addition, the WG-706 wedges have the friction generating, face press milling treatment, which promotes tremendous control out of almost any lie.

The soft 1020 carbon steel allows for the ultimate feel that is necessary to hit delicate shots around the green. In addition, the heel bounce has been reduced and the trailing edge trimmed back to make the WG-706 easy to lay open and play touch shots with spin.

“The WG-706 wedges feature the shape, profile and classic look preferred by better players and serious golfers,” noted Richard Stamper, Srixon’s President. “Beyond the aesthetics, the performance we’ve designed into these clubs make them scoring weapons that have already been proven at golf’s highest level. Several of our tour players including Jim Furyk - who is renowned for having one of the greatest short games on tour - have provided input into the design, shape and performance.

Srixon’s WG-706 wedges come in seven different lofts and bounce options, allowing every golfer to find their ideal scoring club. WG-706 wedges,August, 2007, will be sold in golf shops and golf specialty stores for a suggested retail price of $169 per wedge.
