CHICAGO, IL, FEBRUARY 23, 2011: The Oban Kiyoshi continues to build momentum on the PGA Tour. The Kiyoshi was played by 2 of the top ten finishers during the Northern Trust Open. The 4th place finisher in combination with his Adams A12 Idea Pro played the Oban Kiyoshi 100 gram Hybrid shaft. Firing a 69 on the last day of the tournament, the 9th place finisher also used the Oban Kiyoshi 100 gram Hybrid shaft in his Callaway Razor Tour hybrid and the Oban Devotion 75 gram X in his Callaway FT-9 Tour driver.

   “We are very excited with the performance of the new Oban Kiyoshi wood and hybrid shafts,” said Josh Shook, Oban’s Director of PGA Tour. “The Oban Kiyoshi hybrid is the first 100 gram hybrid shaft introduction from Oban and it continues to play a major role in helping several top ranked players achieve success.”
