“The hottest shafts in golf” wins wood, hybrid shaft manufacturer counts for 10th consecutive week
POWAY, Calif. – The winner of the Transitions Championship used Aldila’s RIP Technology™ in his Driver to help capture his first PGA Tour victory. He finished with a 15-under 269 (67-68-67-67) and earned a two-year Tour exemption, a spot in the Masters and a spot in The Players Championship in May.
“More and more Tour players are choosing Aldila’s RIP Technology™ because it offers them lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager.
The 2010 U.S. Open winner recently Tweeted that he switched to the RIP 50 and increased his swing speed by 3 mph.
“The RIP® (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) employs patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform shaft design from the inside out,” said Bahl. “Through the use of computer modeling technology and exclusive materials provided by the Aldila Materials Division, Aldila engineers were able to completely rethink golf shaft design and performance. The result is a revolutionary shaft with optimum flex and torque characteristics with incredible feel.”
The RIP is available in three models, the Alpha, Beta and Gamma. The RIP Alpha is the original RIP shaft that has a tip-stiff, low-to-mid launch with low spin. The Beta version has a slightly softer tip flex for mid launch, The Gamma has the same launch characteristics as the original Alpha with a higher balance point for use with heavier heads to achieve a conventional swing weight.
Aldila continues to be the #1 shaft of choice on the PGA Tour as they won the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts for the 10th consecutive week, according to the Darrell Survey. “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” had 28 more wood shafts in play and more than double the number of hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer.
