Nationwide winner uses Aldila’s VS Proto™ to post second victory, earn 2010 PGA Tour card
POWAY, Calif. – For the past two years no company has had more wood and hybrid shafts in play at a FedEx Cup Playoff event than Aldila, according to the Darrell Survey. At the The Tour Championship, final FedEx Cup event, “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” seared the competition by winning both the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts to make it eight consecutive FedEx Cup Playoff events that they have won both counts. Aldila’s hybrid shafts were so popular among the Top 30 that they won the hybrid count by more than 4 to 1 margin over the next leading shaft manufacturer.
In addition to winning the counts at every FedEx Cup Playoff event for the past two years, Aldila was also the most popular shaft manufacturer for wood and hybrid shafts at all four Major Championships in 2009, according to the Darrell Survey. Players using Aldila shafts also won the Masters and the PGA Championship.
On the Nationwide Tour, the winner of the WNB Golf Classic used Aldila’s VS Proto™ to help post his second career victory and also secure his PGA Tour card for 2010. He finished with a 20-under 268=(64-69-67-68) to win by one stroke and receive a check for $94,500, which moved him into 6th place on the 2009 Nationwide Tour Money list. At the end of the 2009 Nationwide Tour season, players inside the Top 25 on the Money List earn PGA Tour cards for the 2010 season.
Also at the WNB Golf Classic, the fifth place finisher made the switch to Aldila’s RIP in his driver and went from 99th to 4th in driving accuracy. His new found accuracy helped him post his best finish of the 2009 season.
“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 Tour and is scheduled to be launched next year through some of the major OEM’s product lines.”
Led by their number one shaft, the VooDoo®, Aldila also captured the wood and hybrid shaft counts on at the WNB Golf Classic to remain the #1 shaft on Tour.
What sets the VooDoo apart is its patent-pending S-core Technology™ (stabilized core) designed to maximize distance and provide outstanding accuracy. The real “magic” is the high modulus carbon stabilization rib running the length of the shaft. The innovative rib structure keeps the shaft more concentric, preventing shaft ovaling, deformation and wasted energy during the golf swing. The Aldila VooDoo simply helps generate consistently straight and long shots – with feel competitor shafts can’t match.
Aldila has the unique ability to define the intangibles of the game of golf. To translate numbers into theory, theory into practice, and practice into perfection. They do the experimenting so you don’t have to. Pushing success to the edge and redefining how power should feel. Are you playing Aldila, or just graphite?
