‘The hottest shafts in golf’ wins wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on PGA Tour
POWAY, Calif. – The winner of the Sony Open in Hawaii benefited from the unprecedented control and accuracy of Aldila’s RIP’d NV in his driver. He rallied from two strokes back to finish the tournament with a 13-under-par 267. He posted all four rounds in the 60s en route to his third win of his PGA Tour career.
“Tour players trust the new RIP’d NV because it incorporates the best performance attributes from two of Aldila’s (www.aldila.com) most innovative shaft designs — the ‘perfect feel’ and slim, stable shaft profile of the Aldila NV and the unprecedented control and accuracy of the Aldila RIP,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “Aldila’s NV with Micro Laminate Technology® is the most popular aftermarket shaft in history. The revolutionary RIP Technology® of the Aldila RIP has made it the hottest shaft on the PGA Tour. The RIP’d NV is not just long, its longer – not just straight, its straighter. The RIP’d NV is available in a 65 gram model in R, S and X flexes.
“The Hottest Shafts In Golf” also won the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at the Sony Open to remain the #1 graphite shaft on Tour. Aldila had 21 more wood shafts and 14 more hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer, according to the Darrell Survey.
Eight of the Top 10 finishers at the Sony Open played Aldila shafts including their latest addition to the RIP series, the Phenom.
Aldila’s Phenom 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.
