‘The Hottest Shafts In Golf’ retains #1 status on Tour dominating wood, hybrid shaft counts
POWAY, Calif. – The decision to test Aldila’s new RIP shaft in his driver this week proved to be a very wise one for the winner of the John Deere Classic as it helped him shoot a career-low 61 Saturday to tie the course record at TPC Deere Run in Silvas, Ill., and propel him to his sixth win on the PGA Tour. The new shaft was also instrumental in him finishing tied for 11th in driving accuracy and 26th overall in driving distance with a 291.3 average for the tournament.
“RIP is Aldila’s new shaft technology that provides a lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “The RIP is currently undergoing testing on the PGA and Nationwide Tours and is scheduled to be launched in 2010.”
Led by their highly-sought-after shaft, the VooDoo® featuring S-core Technology™, Aldila maintained their status as the #1 shaft on Tour as they captured the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on the PGA and Nationwide Tours, according to the Darrell Survey. “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” had more than 100 shafts in play and easily won the hybrid count by more than 2-1 margin over the next leading competitor at the John Deere Classic.
What sets the VooDoo apart from the others is its patent-pending S-core (stabilized core) Technology designed to maximize energy transfer to the golf ball, yielding unparalleled distance and accuracy with each swing. The VooDoo’s real “magic” is the high modulus carbon stabilization rib running the length of the shaft. The innovative rib structure increases hoop strength/stiffness so much that it’s 80 percent greater than conventional graphite, and up to 60 percent greater than competitors’ attempts at cross sectional stabilization.
“The increased stability allows the VooDoo to better resist shaft ovaling and deformation during the swing,” said Bahl. “Because the shaft’s symmetry is maintained throughout the swing, it loads and unloads more consistently, enabling you to more reliably deliver the club head to the ball every swing.”
Aldila isn’t just a golf company; it’s a materials-science think tank that’s constantly researching the potential of physical and chemical compounds. They discover them first so you don’t have to wait until tomorrow to improve your game.
