Project X High Launch – $200 Off SST PURE Upgrade ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the last three years, we have fitted low handicap
players into Royal Precision Project X
shafts. The
Project X shaft is designed to tighten dispersion and
bring trajectory down. Now, Royal Precision has
engineered a Project X shaft designed for the
amateur player who is not thinking about the PGA
Tour.
The new Project X “High Launch” shaft gets the ball up a little higher with a little better feel for amateur players. Plus, it is available in softer flexes – for golfers with normal swing speeds. The Golf Lab is the premier Certified Rifle Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have complete mastery of the Royal Precision fitting system and can provide our customers with precise specifications in Project X, Rifle, Rifle Flighted and Rifle Light shafts. www.riflecenters. com Masters weekend special: Any reshaft with Royal Precision Rifle shafts will receive SST PUREing – normally a $30 upgrade – for only $10 per shaft. If you’ve been thinking about reshafting a set of your irons, now is the time to get off the fence. Plus, we’ll verify your swingspeed and shaft load to make sure we’ve got the right flex for no charge. That’s up to a $200 saving on premium Royal Precision shafts. OK – we’ll make the same deal for Nippons, Aerotechs or Fujikuras.

Miura Irons – Your Last Set of Irons ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miuras are expensive. Fitted out with high
performance SST PUREd shafts and hand built to Golf
Lab standards they cost $200 to $220 per club.
We’d like to see as many of our customers as
possible enjoy playing Miuras. Miura is releasing two
new styles for 2006 – the 301 is a cavity back that’s
a little more forgiving than the 201. For tournament
players, they’ve got a very small muscle back blade
coming out – in limited edition. The new styles are
on allotment but we will get our share.
Whether you’re new to Miura or already own the best in the world and would like a second set of one of the new styles, we’ve got a “Member’s Only” incentive offer. From now through Masters Weekend, we’ll fit you with your choice of Miura models with the high performance, SST PUREd shaft of your choice for $185 per club. (The limited edition blade is $205.) Think of how much money you will save if you only buy one set of irons in 2006. www.miuragolf.com .

UST Frequency Filtered Putter Shaft and Balance-Certified Inserts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You hit more shots with your putter than any other
club. Now you can improve the feel and performance
of your most important club. The UST frequency
filtered shaft increases feel by helping a player
detect the sweet spot and develop a more precise
stroke. Top it off with a counter weight to quiet
your hands and smooth your tempo.
You spend a lot of time thinking about fine-tuning your driver; why not pay some attention to customizing your putter? We’ll change the shaft in your putter and install counter weights in the grip. You’ll be a “new guy” on the greens. If you want to prove that tuning your putter works, we can set you up for a putter fitting utilizing our state of the art Science and Motion “launch monitor for putters”. You can top it off with a genuine leather grip for ultimate feel. Masters Weekend Specials: UST Frequency Filtered shaft and Balance Certified Counterweight - $145 installed. Genuine Leather Gripmaster putter grip – your choice of styles - $25 installed. Science and Motion (SAM) Putter Fitting - $75 www.balance-certified.com

Nak is Back!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For players who are tired of changing their drivers
like their underwear, the Nakashima HTEC driver
could be the answer. This is an innovative design
that lets a player swap shafts and heads. If you
want to try a 9.5* driver with a Fujikura
Rombax, you
can do that. If it goes a little too low, you can swap
the Rombax into a 10.5* head and see if that does
the trick. Meantime, put your UST V2 in the
9.5*
head. The first shipment of the Nakashima HTEC is –
USGA Non-Conforming so if you want a hot driver,
you know where to get one. If you play in
tournaments and your partners are inclined to ask
questions about unexplained distance, you can wait
for the next shipment. This is a great idea for
players who love to tinker but are tired of wasting
money.
Member’s Only Masters Weekend Nakashima Special: The Nakashima HTEC is $560 with a high performance shaft of your choice except OZIK’s, Speeders and Diamanas. If you buy your HTEC before Masters Weekend is over, we’ll fit you with a second high performance shaft of your choice (same exceptions) for no extra charge. One driver, two shafts. Of course, all Golf Lab drivers are SST PUREd. www.nakashim agolf.com.

Heavy Putter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you worry about the consistency of your putting
stroke, try the Heavy Putter. The Heavy Putter
delivers results for normal amateur players. The
heavy weight and counter balanced shaft smooth out
your stroke. This is a true “game improvement”
putter for a normal amateur player. The Golf
Lab has
every Heavy Putter model in stock in every shaft
length. Do yourself a favor and try one today.
Masters Weekend special: $245 including
the weight
kit that is normally $30 extra. This is the “original”
model, not to be confused with the cheaper cast
version that is soon to be marketed by Infomercial.
We’ll have those too, at $199 with the weight kit
when they come out in mid April. www.heavyputt

Geek Golf ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There comes a time in every man’s life when he has
an urge to “do his own thing”. Steve Almo is such a
guy. After 25 years working for a progression of the
best companies in the business, he has started his
own enterprise – Geek Golf. Steve’s slogan for Geek
is “it’s an attitude”. His first designs are irreverent in
name, but forward in design. Plus, he’s hooking up
with Patrick Boyd to bring one of the world’s
greatest “iron snob’s” designs to market under the
Geek umbrella. Stay tuned on the irons and give the
Geek driver a try with a high performance shaft just
for fun. www.geekgolf.net
The long drive industry created the market for high quality component drivers. We have an extensive collection of the best: SMT, KZG and Alpha – all great choices.

Scratch Wedges ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are some great little companies that are
precisely in tune with the Golf Lab philosophy of
providing custom, high-performance clubs. Scratch
is one such company. We love their custom wedges
that can be ordered in any configuration, complete
with personalized name or initials. Scratch irons rival
Miura for quality.
We have every model and grind of the new Scratch wedge in stock. If you want to try a demo hitting off of grass, meet up with the Golf Lab Tour Van at Poppy Ridge. Call the Golf Lab for scheduling details. Concentrate on improving your short game in 2006. www.scratchgolf. com

Fitting Tune Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you’re still reading this far, we thank you for your
time and attention. If you want to find out once and
for all if your driver is working as well as it can,
schedule a driver fitting at the Golf Lab. We’ll use
our Max Out Shaft Max to determine the
load you put
on the shaft. Then, we’ll test your driver
performance with our Max Out launch monitor
and
compare your results to theoretical perfection. If
necessary, we can dial in launch angle and spin rate
with our extensive demo clubs. You might even find
you’re using the wrong ball. We test it all. Driver
fitting: $125 Members’ Only Masters Weekend
special: $75 Call the Golf Lab for an
appointment and mention this newsletter. (650) 493-
1770.
We look forward to seeing you in the shop. Remember, we’re just one minute off of 101 at Embarcadero. Best Regards, Leith Anderson and Bob Huff
