Osaka, Japan – January 23, 2011 – Arc Quest, manufacturer of award winning magnetic and negative ion technology, announced today that international golfing star and Arc Quest endorser Rory McIlroy seized a second place finish at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship wearing his favorite Colantotte Dual Loop Wristband.

Northern Ireland’s golfing sensation McIlroy played the first tournament of his season and posted scores of 71, 67, 65, and 69 to finish with a solid second place finish taking his world rankings from 12th place to seventh place. His total of 272 included three eagles and 18 birdies.

According to Arc Quest President Katsumi Komatsu, "Rory is a tremendous talent. His sequential scores in the 60s is a true testament of his ability and not only is he a great golfer, he is a real crowd pleaser. At the Abu Dhabi when he was teeing up, crowds were chanting his name. He is a real asset to the Colantotte brand and his recognition continues to help grow awareness to the Dual Loop Wristband."

Colantotte wristbands and necklaces bring Negative Ions and twin 1,000 Gauss magnets together to form the most unique product of its kind today. The Dual Loop is made with "Mineon Health® Fibers", a unique material woven with Negative Ion producing minerals, which generates and releases more than 50 to 100 times the Negative Ions than the competition.

The Dual Loop Wristband worn by McIlroy uses 1,000 Gauss axially magnetized magnets, arranged in a patented Alternating North-South Polarity Orientation (ANSPO™) matrix that increases the penetrating power of the magnets. Included in the Dual Loop Fabric Series are the CLC Collegiate Fabric Dual Loop Wristbands.

"Rory enjoys the colors and variety of the Dual Loop wristbands but also wears the Active Series and Necklace Lite," added Komatsu.

Staying relaxed during tournament play allows golfers to be less stressed and perform at a higher level. Rory demonstrates this unique ability during each tournament – his charismatic nature is coupled with determination and patience. His outstanding performance last year includes five top ten finishes at PGA Tour events including a win at the Wells Fargo Championship and a position on the winning 2010 European Ryder Cup Team.
