PRESS RELEASE:
Everyday golfers now able to get customization previously only available to PGA/LPGA Tour Professionals
TEMECULA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 30, 2015–
Custom Steel Shafts (CSS) is sprucing up the game of golf by customizing steel golf shafts with colors, logos and more. “We’re bringing a great concept to the industry by creating endless possibilities,” says Jeffrey Neal, CEO of CSS. Neal has perfected the art of painting steel golf shafts that are durable and only add about two grams to the overall weight of the club. Forget trying to do this at home, the CSS process is superior and engineered to last.
In addition to eleven standard and eight premium colors, CSS has the ability to etch logos and words into the shafts. “If you can type it, we can etch it”, Neal explains. “College and professional sports logos are coming soon as well as the four main branches of military.”
Previously only available to tour players like the winner of the 2013 US Open, CSS has started a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise capital to bring the product to the public market with perks like a thank you and your own design on a shaft. They have a touching, family-centered video that highlights their process and work with a major charity. Everyday golfers will be able to get the same, high-quality process that was only previously available to Tour professionals or manufacturers once the campaign is successful.
