Royal Precision closes its doors!

Sad news in the golf industry. Seems Royal Precision has closed its doors this time, possibly for good. Hopefully this is just the US factory and they're still around, possibly with an Asian plant. If not, then it's time to stock up on your fav Rifle shafts!

Looks like I might have to bypass the PX's and go straight to the Black Golds.

This is odd, only because they may no mention of this on the web site.

Is this the only manufacturing facility PR has in North America?

I wonder if they will ramp up importing shafts...

I've heard that the Rifle products might live on under a different name. Further to this, there is also talk that True Temper is buying them. That would basically create a monopoly for them and if this happens, expect steel shaft prices to rise across the board.
