Graphite golf shaft manufacturer Aldila captures wood and hybrid shaft counts at Travelers Championship
POWAY, Calif. – Aldila’s RIP Technology™ golf shafts were instrumental for both the winner and second place finisher at the BMW International Open on the European Tour. Both played Aldila’s RIP golf shafts in their Drivers and 3 Woods. The winner posted his second victory on the European Tour after a five-hole playoff and catapulted 90 spots in the Official World Golf Rankings.
The second place finisher also posted his best finish of the season using the RIP golf shafts in all of his fairway woods. He made the switch to Aldila’s leading graphite shaft just three weeks ago and since placed seventh at the U.S. Open and second at the BMW International this past week. With the finish he moved to just outside the Top 50 in the OWGR and possibly picked up one of the spots left in the 2011 British Open.
“RIP (Reverse Interlaminar Placement Technology) transforms the golf shaft from the inside out providing players with shot control,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “More and more Tour players are switching to the RIP because the shafts provide lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control.”
On the PGA Tour, Aldila (www.aldila.com) captured the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at the Travelers Championship, according to the Darrell Survey. The double graphite golf shaft count win marked the 21st time in the past 24 weeks that “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” has won both of these golf shaft counts on the PGA Tour.
On the PGA Tour, the Most Accurate Driver at the Travelers Championship switched to the RIP in his Driver and finished with a 92.86 percent for driving accuracy, which was well ahead of the field’s average of 75.24 percent. In fact, four out of the top five leaders in driving accuracy on the PGA tour play Aldila’s RIP golf shafts.
Aldila’s leading shaft technologies were also instrumental for several players on the PGA, European and Nationwide Tours this past week. The RIP, as well as Aldila’s MLT and S-core Technologies, each offers players of all abilities optimum performance to maximize the potential of their individual swing.
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?
