RIP® shaft helps most accurate driver perform phenomenally at Waste Management Open
POWAY, Calif. – For the fourth consecutive week, Aldila (www.aldila.com) dominated the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on the PGA Tour. Led by their latest shaft technology, RIP® (Reverse Interlaminar Placement), “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” had 24 more wood shafts and nine more hybrid shafts in play than their next leading competitor at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, according to the Darrell Survey.
Benefiting from the Hyperbolic Flex Zone found in Aldila’s newest shaft, the RIP Phenom, the Most Accurate Driver at the Waste Management Phoenix Open finished the tournament with an overall Driving Accuracy Percentage of 76.79 percent, which was well ahead of the Tour’s average of 57.28 percent.
The 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 Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. The RIP Phenom is available in 50 and 70-gram weight designs in R, S and X flexes.
