Second consecutive week Tour player experiences success after switching to VooDoo? shaft
POWAY, Calif. – Aldila’s “Hottest Shafts in Golf” definitely lived up to their reputation this past weekend as the Aldila ProtoPype™, VooDoo™, VS Proto™ and NV™ shafts helped players scorch the competition on the PGA, Nationwide and LPGA Tours.
Using Aldila’s ProtoPype™ shaft in his Driver, 3 Wood and Hybrid clubs, the winner of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans got his first PGA Tour victory after just 12 starts. The ProtoPype™ is a very tip stiff version of Aldila’s NV™ shaft designed to keep the launch and spin rate down.
Switching to Aldila’s new VooDoo shaft in his Driver and 3 Wood, the second place finisher used Aldila’s patent-pending S-core TechnologyTM at the Zurich Classic to help him finish one stroke off the lead. His success marked the second person in as many weeks to experience success after making the switch to Aldila’s VooDoo shaft. Aldila’s initial success with the VooDoo shaft was during last week’s World Golf Championships-CA Championship when the winner made the switch to the VooDoo and drove his way to his second WGC win.
Using Aldila’s NV™ shaft on the Nationwide Tour, the winner of the Chitimacha Louisiana Open racked up his fourth Nationwide Tour victory finishing with a 12-under 272. The NV features Aldila’s exclusive Micro Laminate Technology which offers players a more enhanced performance and feel.
Rounding out Aldila’s successful weekend, the Aldila VS Proto™ shaft helped propel the LPGA Rolex Player of the Year to a successful defense of her Safeway International crown. She finished a comfortable six shots ahead of the field to win her second tournament in three tries in the young 2008 LPGA Tour season. The VS ProtoTM offers unparalleled performance, consistency and feel and is the straightest, longest shaft that Aldila has ever offered.
With success abound for Aldila this weekend; it was no surprise that the “Hottest Shaft in Golf” smoked the competition by winning the hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on the PGA, Nationwide, and Champions Tours. Aldila also won the Woods shaft manufacturer count on the Nationwide Tour.
