During the 1980s, professional golfers such as Fuzzy Zoeller used PowerBilt clubs to win over 20 events on the pro tours.
Throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s PowerBilt Citation Persimmon Woods were the standard by which all drivers and fairway woods were judged. In 1934, Olin Dutra used the PowerBilt golf clubs to capture the U.S.
The company has designed golf clubs the world’s best have used to win such tournaments as The Masters, the U.S. PowerBilt Golf first started making golf clubs from persimmon in 1916. Bionic, which is a company that makes some of my favorite cutting-edge golf gloves, is also owned by H&B.Īlthough the PowerBilt brand has been somewhat dormant over the recent past, the company has a rich tradition of success in the golf industry. Innovation like this is nothing new for a company like PowerBilt, which is a sister company of Louisville Slugger a division of the Hillerich & Bradsby Co., which has been building sports equipment for over 100 years. For the golfer, this can translate into increased ball speed, longer distances and better overall performance from the golf club. Why is this important? Generally speaking, the thinner the club face, the less weight. This nitrogen charging technique also allows PowerBilt to build golf clubs with the thinnest face in golf. Compressed nitrogen helps give strong support to the club face, providing the maximum trampoline effect and smash factor for greater distance.
This PowerBilt driver was built using Nitrogen Charged Technology, which is a method of reinforcing the club face without adding any weight. Nearly all golfers want tremendous distance from their driver, but they also want a forgiving clubface and an appealing design for a somewhat reasonable price.
However, if that was all that mattered, the folks at PowerBilt could have probably saved a great deal of the time, money and effort that went into the development of this club. I recently tested the PowerBilt Air Force One DFX N7 Nitrogen-Charged Driver, a golf club that was created with a whole lot of technology to help gain extra distance off the tee.
