‘The hottest shafts in golf’ dominates hybrid shaft manufacturer count at Shell Houston Open
POWAY, Calif. – Led by their most popular shaft the RIP®, Aldila (www.aldila.com) has continued to amass shaft manufacturer count wins on the PGA Tour at an enviable pace. At the Shell Houston Open, Aldila dominated the wood shaft manufacturer count by having 30 more wood shafts in play than their closest competitor, according to the Darrell Survey. That win marked the 14th consecutive week Aldila has won the wood shaft manufacturer count on the PGA Tour. “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” also captured the hybrid shaft manufacturer count at the Shell Houston Open with 14 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. RIP Technology repositions the materials and patterns to optimize the performance characteristics of the shaft.
The latest addition to the 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™.
“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 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.
After switching to the Phenom in his driver this week at the Shell Houston Open, the World’s Number 3 player in the official golf rankings jumped from 19th to second place in Total Driving on the PGA Tour.
