PRESS RELEASE, March 2012

RYO ISHIKAWA – COLANTOTTE GOLF STAFF PROFESSIONAL
SECURES A SECOND PLACE FINISH IN PUERTO RICO WEARING
ORIGINAL WACLE LOOP SUPPORTER

Osaka, Japan – March 2, 2012 – Arc Quest Co., Ltd., manufacturer of the Colantote products, award winning magnetic technology, announced today that company spokesperson and Japanese golfing superstar Ryo Ishikawa enjoyed his best finish on the PGA Tour for the 2012 season with a runner-up finish at the Puerto Rico Open.

The highly visible and extremely talented Ishikawa played four impressive rounds of golf to clinch a second place finish and earn himself a temporary PGA membership. As he considers his future on the PGA Tour, he remains a faithful fan of Colantotte. During the Puerto Rico Open he wore a range of Colantotte products but his favorite and daily go to wristband is the original Colantotte Wacle Loop Supporter.

Ishikawa’s Wacle Loop Supporter combines negative ions and twin 1,000 Gauss magnets to form the most unique product of its kind. The Colantotte fabric is made with “Mineon Fibers”, an innovative textile with negative ion producing minerals woven into the fabric. They generate an abundant level of negative ions.

The 1,000 Gauss axially magnetized magnets are arranged in a unique Alternating North-South Polarity Orientation (ANSPO™) that increases the penetration of the magnetic field. The Wacle Loop Supporters are an amazing way to combine the power of negative ions, magnets, and style for any sport or everyday use.

“Ryo is very aware of his style. He began layering Colantotte products WAY before the other players found it fashionable. It is not unusual to see him combine his Wacle Loop Supporters with a colorful Trion:Z Loop Series. His golfing competency combined with his personal style makes him a golfing icon and Colantotte is fortunate to have him on staff,” said Arc Quest CEO Katsumi Komatsu.

In addition to layering his wristbands, Ishikawa also wears Colantotte necklaces. During the Puerto Rico Open he sported the Wacle Neck Ge+. This trendy necklace combines the power of magnets and style. Colantotte designed the Wacle Neck Ge+ with premium-grade silicone that incorporates fashion with functionality. The Ge+ Series is “lite” weight and water repellant – perfect for any sport or for every day use.

20-year old Ishikawa is a nine-time winner on the Japan Golf Tour. The Japanese golfing phenom made history when he became the youngest player to win a professional men’s event on the Japan Golf Tour. At 15 years and eight months, he made his first tour appearance and became the Munsingwear Open KSB Cup Champion.

He became a golf professional in 2008 and won the Mynavi ABC Championship to become the youngest player EVER to reach the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings. Since then he has been one of the top ranked Japanese players in the world. Ishikawa joined the Colantotte professional staff team in 2009.
