Prior to the end of the 2005 PGA Tour season, testing
on the E21's Scandium Eagle began. Element 21 is utilizing
its experience working with advanced Scandium metal alloys
to introduce this unique space-age material to the golf industry.
Scandium alloys were originally developed for application
in aerospace application including MiG series fighter jets,
leading-edge missile applications, and the International
Space Station.
The International Space Program has introduced the
next generation material for golf. Element 21 developed
a proprietary material called E21 Metal, with the highest
strength-to-weight ratio of any material currently used in
golf - 25% advantages over titanium, 50% over graphite and
70% over steel. Robotic and player testing have replaced
older technologies, translating into improvement in overall
performance, while conforming to the USGA rules of golf.
Element 21 Golf Company (E21) has released a report that
the Company has received confirmation from the United States
Golf Association (USGA) that its Scandium driver is compliant
with the USGA's Rules Of Golf. Scandium is an extremely difficult
material to work with and the product engineers and designers
are the best of the best.
The Scandium driver technology represents a significant
departure from the prevailing titanium driver construction
technology, and offers balanced moments of inertia and
an unprecedented sweet spot. This results in very tight dispersion
even for an off center shot and a notable increase in distance.
Scandium metal alloy clubs represent the first new innovation
in golf clubs in decades. Scandium provides significant increase
in distance, accuracy and consistency. Here are some of the
Scandium products available.
E21 Golf Equipment And Merchandise
- E21 Alloy Shock Driver -Louvered crown for laminar
flow stability creates elevated acceleration. Maximum structural
integrity with minimum crown weight. Maximum perimeter weight
distribution in oversize club head. Optimized face bulge
to absolutely minimize dispersion for off-center hits. Optimized
face roll to absolutely maximize flight trajector. Maximum
allowable COR (coefficient of restitution). Maximum allowable
MOI (moments of inertia)Minimum vibration on all off center
hits. Scandium technology Eagle One shaft.
- E21 Hybrid - Louvered crown for laminar flow stability
and shape integrity at impact. High recoil liquid polymer
packed cavity. Absolute minimum torque for accuracy in all
shaft flex ranges. CST ( Contact Signature Tuned) to scandium
Eagle One shaft.
- Idea Pro Hybrid Irons - an integrated set of tour-proven
hybrids and forged irons that serious golfers will appreciate.
Already tested by tour pros for over a year and even in
the winner’s circle at the U.S. Senior Open, the Idea
Pro hybrid irons will perform when the demands of the game
call for it.
- Eagle One LGL Irons - Encapsulated Jet Fighter
cavity back design. High recoil liquid polymer packed cavity.
Ripple Free Quiet contact with highest energy transfer coefficient.
Customizable COG (centre of gravity) and swing weight. CST
( Contact Signature Tuned) to scandium Eagle One shaft.
- Hydrofoil Putter - Water collects up around the
cavity. Slightly pressurizing and closing off air inside
the cavity. The putter rides on the rolling water surface
that beads up around cavity. The surface friction is minimal
as the air pressure in a closed cavity keeps the putter
suspended. Uniform swing speed creates perfect “frictionless”
pendulum. Scandium shaft for unadulterated ball signature
and transfer of energy. Scandium putter face (same resonant
frequency material as the shaft) for correct contact signature,
superior control characteristics.
- Eagle One E21 Alloy Shafts - E21 Metal shafts are
manufactured using a proprietary 25-step production process
to create seamless, extruded shafts. Variable wall thickness
and the alloy’s tensile strength result in our vibration
dampening system called ShockBlok™ with 270% better
shock attenuation than steel shafts. ShockBlok™ protects
your body, bones and joints. Each shaft is extruded from
a single piece of metal, close to absolute symmetry, resulting
in unmatched consistency from club to club and outstanding
performance including the industry’s best torque rating
as low as 1.5°
