New RIP phenom’s Hyperbolic Flex Zone™ provides maximum distance and control
POWAY, Calif. – For the second consecutive week Aldila’s RIP Technology helped play an integral part for the winner on the European Tour. Trusting the lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control of Aldila’s (www.aldila.com) RIP shaft in his driver, 3 and 5 woods, the winner of the Andalucía Masters captured his second consecutive championship and 10th on the European Tour. He finished with a 6-under-par 278 to win by one stroke and take home 500,000 Euros, nearly $700,000. The win put him in the top 20 of the Official World Golf Rankings.
“The RIP™ employs patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform shaft design from the inside out,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “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 latest addition to Aldila’s RIP series is the RIP Phenom, which incorporates Aldila’s Tour proven RIP Technology® with a unique composite construction to create a new and innovative shaft flex profile for maximum distance and control – the Hyperbolic Flex Zone™.
RIP Technology repositions the materials and patterns to optimize the performance characteristics of the shaft. The Phenom’s Hyperbolic Flex Zone provides a stiff tip section for optimal launch and spin control, with a very firm butt section for an incredibly stable feel. The center section of the shaft is softer to provide outstanding kick through impact to maximize ball speed.
“Through the use of a Hyperbolic Flex Zone, the new RIP Phenom incorporates the same flex, torque and feel properties that have made the original RIP the leading shaft on the PGA Tour, with a flex profile to achieve unparalleled performance and launch characteristics for better players,” said Bahl. The RIP Phenom is available in 50 and 70-gram weight designs in R, S and X flexes. Suggested retail is $299.
