The composite is made by a new lamination process to give improved peripheral weight distribution to the head. To distinguish this new club from other types and styles of clubs that you sell, you are marketing the new clubs under the name “Slammer.” To further distinguish these new clubs, you have developed and are using unique and original decorations on the club shaft.
