Revised PRGR Sweep Series to Go on SaleBeginning and Intermediate Female Golfer Club Series

　Tokyo – The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. announced today that it has revised the PRGR Sweep club series

for beginning and intermediate female golfers. The lineup comprises the driver, fairway woods (4, 5, 7W),

utilities (5, 6UT), a four-iron set #7 – Pw and Aw, Sw and putters.

The Sweep series club design emphasizes unique ideas for female golfers, and easy hit. This is a club series

for beginning and intermediate female golfers with a head speed of around 30m/second to enjoy golfing in

style. As an idea to help golfers improve their scores, the new series has the ideal carry engraved on the head

of each club other than the driver and putters, eliminating confusion in club selection during play so golfers

can concentrate on their swings. The color is a purplish pink with a mature image, used only on limited areas

of the club. The revised PRGR Sweep retains the popular coaching grip from the prior series, which indicates

the ideal grip by lining up with the thumb marks, giving golfers greater confidence.

The club design makes it easy to see that the crown is parallel to the ground when gripping drivers and fair-

way woods. It emphasizes the image of the sweep, reducing scooping, topping and other mishits. Overall, the

center of gravity distance has been made slightly shorter from the prior series, improving the ball grip. Like

the prior series, the clubs have exclusive shafts with a large flex that increases head speed even with a small

swing, making it easy to hit nice shots.
