‘The Hottest Shafts In Golf’ wins wood shaft count on PGA Tour by 34, also captures hybrid count
POWAY, Calif. – With the help of Aldila’s NVS graphite shaft, the winner of the Rex Hospital Open captured his third career Nationwide Tour victory. He finished with a 14-under-270, which was good enough for a $99,000 first place check. With those earnings he moved into sixth place on the Nationwide Tour’s money list. At the end of the season the Top 25 money leaders earn their PGA Tour card for 2012. Four other top 10 finishers at the Rex Hospital Open also played Aldila’s shafts.
Led by their triple threat of patented shaft design technologies, “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” won the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, according to the Darrell Survey. Aldila obliterated the competition by having 34 more wood shafts in play than their closest competitor. With the double count win at St. Jude, Aldila has now won both shaft counts on the PGA Tour for 20 out of the past 22 weeks.
The latest of Aldila’s patented shaft technologies, the RIP, was instrumental in helping the most accurate driver at the St. Jude Classic improve his driving accuracy. After switching to Aldila’s RIP NV shaft in his driver, he finished the tournament with a 75 percent driving accuracy percentage, which was well ahead of the field’s average of 56.94 percent.
RIP, Reverse Interlaminar Placement Technology, transforms the shaft from the inside out providing players with shot control. RIP shafts offer golfers lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control. Aldila’s two other leading shaft technologies are S-core and MLT. S-core or stabilized core technology, provides the golfer with stability through an innovative design incorporating a one-piece carbon fiber rib system. This helps the shaft stay more concentric during the golf swing thereby transferring maximum energy. MLT, Micro Laminate Technology, is designed using ultra thin layers of premium aerospace graphite that are matched with a proprietary thin profile shaft design that eliminate ‘dead zones’ in the shaft for precise feel.
Aldila’s patented shaft design technologies provide the perfect balance of applied art and engineering. They are continually on the leading edge of the golf world through their relentless pursuit of the next best innovation. 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?
