New Irons Feature Thick, Contoured Wide Sole

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA, December 18, 2006 - Hireko Trading Company, Inc. today announced the arrival of the new Acer XDS Wide Sole II Irons. The Wide Sole II Irons are now in stock and available as either a component clubhead ($5.55 each) or custom assembled golf club ($17.95 each for base model). Complete custom golf club assembly options are available on Hireko's website www.hirekogolf.com.

The all-new Acer XDS Wide Sole II Irons are designed with a thick contoured wide sole, which lowers the center of gravity for optimal trajectory, and helps move the club through almost any type of rough. A deep undercut channel moves the weight towards the back of the head to reduce twist on less than perfect shots. The new Wide Soles can also be mixed and matched with the XDS Wide Sole Hybrid for a fully customized set.

"The new Acer XDS Wide Sole II Irons represent one of our most game improving irons to date," states Jeff Summitt, Technical Director. "The deep undercut channel and thick sole are a great aid for the mid to high handicapper".

Acer line of irons were introduced by Hireko Golf in 1998. The new Acer XDS Wide Sole II Irons represents the 4th incarnation of this best selling brand. The Acer XDS Wide Sole II Irons are available right hand only 3-PW, SW. The assembled base model comes equipped with an Apollo Steel shaft and Karma Black Velvet grip.

Fully custom assembled options are now available at www.hirekogolf.com.
