San Diego, CA (February 13, 2006) Aldila Golf, Inc. announced today that the winner of the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am used their new Aldila VS ProtoTM shaft as well as their NV, and VS Proto Hybrid during his victory.
"It’s an incredible start to 2006," said Mike Rossi, Aldila’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "Our new VS Proto shaft has now been used by the winners of the last 2 PGA Tour events. All our research indicated that the new VS Proto shaft performed well but to achieve Tour success like this is a testament to our belief that this shaft is truly the best ever offered by Aldila."
In addition to the Tour win this week, the Darrell Survey Company also reported that the Aldila Hybrid shafts were the most popular hybrid shafts at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The combination of NV Hybrids and VS Proto Hybrids were favoured by nearly a 3 to one margin over our nearest competitor. Furthermore, Aldila also had more sets of graphite iron shafts in play than any other graphite shaft manufacturer, including a set put in play this week by the #2 ranked player in the world.
The new VS ProtoTM shaft incorporates Aldila’s innovative new Next Generation Micro Laminate TechnologyTM featuring Carbon Nano-Tubes, combined with Aldila’s proprietary A65 Performance Resin System, utilizing Advanced High Modulus Graphite Fibers, all synthesized into Micro Laminate TechnologyTM. The VS Proto offers unparalleled performance, consistency and feel – the straightest, longest shaft that Aldila has ever offered. The VS Proto will begin shipping to leading OEM’s and Distributors in April.
Aldila is publicly traded on NASDAQ with the symbol ALDA.
