‘The hottest shafts in golf’ captures wood & hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on PGA Tour
POWAY, Calif. – With the help of Aldila’s NV® shaft in his driver and DVS™ in his 3 Wood, the winner of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship posted the second victory of his career and moved to 55 in the Official World Golf Ranking jumping 57 spots. The Englishman finished with a 13-under-275 (69-70-66-70) to win by one stroke.
On the PGA Tour, Aldila remains the #1 graphite shaft on Tour after winning both the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts for the third week in a row, according to the Darrell Survey. Led by their latest shaft technology, RIP, “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” had 27 more wood and 10 more hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer.
Aldila’s RIP® (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) employs patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform shaft design from the inside out. The latest addition to RIP series is the 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 Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. The RIP Phenom is available in 50 and 70-gram weight designs in R, S and X flexes.
