* The Big 6 with... Sonartec
------------------------------------------------------------

1)Who are you?
Sonartec Golf has made a name for itself on the professional tours of the world, with over 20 worldwide Tour wins and 2 major championships in the last two years. 180 players on the PGA Tour, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour put over 1,200
Sonartec Golf clubs into play in 2002, leading Sonartec to 5 PGA Tour wins, 4 Champions Tour wins and 3 Nationwide Tour wins. Of the 180 players on the PGA Tours using Sonartec Golf clubs last year, only Staff players Nick Price, Bill Glasson and Cliff Kresge were paid to use the clubs. Sonartec finished third three weeks ago for fairway woods in play at the Ford Championship at Doral. See http://www.sonartec.com for more Sonartec Tour Success stories.

2)What product/service do you provide to the golf community?
Sonartec Golf offers three models of fairway woods to fit every player and swing, two drivers, one designed for distance and the other for forgiveness, plus a brand new Utility Wood Series designed with the help of Nick Price. These products provide the golfing community with the hottest clubs on the PGA Tour and unmatched performance on the course.

Product line:

SS-01 Shallow Face - Larger Sweet Spot, Easy to get the ball airborne. Mid Face for Forgiveness and Control
SS-02 Mid Face - Longer heel-to-toe length, Mid Ball Flight, Most popular Sonartec model on the Champions Tour.
Deep Face for Maximum Control / Workability
SS-03 Deep Face - More room on the face to work the ball, Lower Ball Flight, Most popular Sonartec model on the PGA Tour.

Drivers
Super CV Pro Driver - NEW- The Super CV Pro is a titanium driver with tungsten-copper weighting in the rear of the club head to pull back the Center of Gravity for added forgiveness and a higher launch angle.
Ti-01 Driver - Engineered for distance, the 280 CC is a monster off the tee. Long Drive Champion Mike Wiebe uses the Ti-01 to hit drives over 390 yards in competition.

T.R.C Utility Wood Series -NEW-
The T.R.C (Twin Rail Cavity) club head is a smaller, heavier club head with rails designed to help get balls get out of tough lies, easily getting balls out of deep rough and divots.

3)How does Sonartec work?
Sonartec's unique Driving Cavity technology is a design technique used to remove mass from the sole and back of the club head. The Driving Cavity redistributes weight to the perimeter of the club head and provides balance in the club head for forgiveness on miss-hits. The patented design positions the Center of Gravity deep within the club head to widen the sweet spot. The Center of Gravity is also raised in the club head, positioning the center of mass directly behind the impact point and yielding a penetrating, boring ball trajectory with no balloon effect into the wind.

4)Where do you sell Sonartec products?
Sonartec Golf is in over 1,000 retail accounts across the nation. To find a retailer near you, visit http://www.sonartec.com.

5)When did you begin, and how long have you been in business?
Sonartec Golf's home is Carlsbad, California, the golf manufacturing capital of the world. We recently celebrated our third year anniversary at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.

6)Why should someone purchase Ahead products instead of the competition?
This is the golf club design that the golfing community has been waiting for. The Driving Cavity not only adds extreme distance to your fairway woods and drivers, it also makes for a very forgiving club. Because the Driving Cavity design pulls the weight on the sole of the club head to the heel and the toe, the sweet spot on Sonartec Golf clubs is bigger than any sweet spot in the industry. One hit and you
will feel the difference.
