Golf clubs. The secret to a longer, more accurate golf shot? A more flexible club shaft. S glass fiber helps the shaft recover its shape at the point of impact, so the ball travels farther and truer. Fore!
Pole vaulters. Using S glass fiber, Gill Sports created a hollow glass fiber pole that has the structural strength and flexibility to bend at its maximum pressure point, sending vaulters to new heights.
Hockey sticks. Goalies might not love the advantages of hockey sticks made with glass fiber reinforcements as the puck sails past for a goal, but position players know that glass fiber sticks provide strength and flexibility for improved shooting accuracy and speeds of up to 160 km/h.
Whatever your sports or leisure interest, Owens Corning helps make the difference.

Think glass fibers don't have a fun side? Just ask any golfer, boater, skier,
pole vaulter or hockey player. You see, Owens Corning glass fiber composites
have been creating memorable moments in sports and recreation for decades.
Pleasure boats. Owens Corning S glass fiber helps put the power in
Fountain Power Boats' 47-foot racer. Owens Corning reinforcements are also
used in yachts, sailboats and personal water craft.
Baseball and softball bats. No broken bats here, no matter how hard you swing.
With glass fiber composite materials, you get the balance, whip and feel of a
traditional bat, but it lasts for many more swings than wood or aluminum bats.
Snow and surf equipment. Designers of snow skis, snowboards, and wind surfers
have many variables to consider -- things like torsional flex, temperature
response, strength, and weight. With Owens Corning glass fiber reinforcements,
manufacturers have achieved the perfect combination of all four. Owens Corning
is also a corporate sponsor of freestyle skiing. Read about our sponsorship in
Fishing rods. By creating a rod that's stronger and more flexible, glass fiber
reinforcements help you reel in the big catches.
Aerobic stair climbers. Behind one of the best-selling portable stair climbers
in the exercise equipment market -- SLM's StairClimber Plus™ -- you'll
find the strength and lateral stability of glass fiber composites. Knees up!
