‘The hottest shafts in golf’ wins wood, hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at The Barclays
POWAY, Calif. – Just as Aldila has dominated the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts throughout the regular PGA Tour season, “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” remained the #1 graphite shaft of choice at the start of the PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedExCup. Led by their leading RIP shaft technology, Aldila (www.aldila.com) captured the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at The Barclays with more than 1/3 of the field playing Aldila shafts, according to the Darrell Survey. The double count win marked the 35th time in 38 PGA Tour events this season, including three of the four major championships, that Aldila has won both counts.
Aldila’s latest addition to its Tour proven RIP (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) series is the Phenom®, which integrates Aldila’s RIP Technology® with a unique shaft design to create a new and innovative flex profile for maximum distance and control known as the Hyperbolic Flex Zone. This new technology features a stiff tip section for optimal launch and spin control with a very firm butt section for an incredible stable feel, while the center section of the shaft is softer to provide unmatched kick through impact for maximum ball speed.
“The top players on Tour continue to rely on Aldila’s RIP Technology™ because it provides them with lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “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.”
In addition to the Phenom, The RIP series features four different shafts to help meet the needs of a variety of players. The Alpha, Beta, Gamma and the RIP’d NV.
The RIP Alpha is a tip-stiff, low-to-mid launch with low spin and is the original shaft with lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness. The RIP Beta version has a slightly softer tip flex for mid launch, the RIP Gamma has the same launch characteristics as the original RIP Alpha with a higher balance point for use with heavier heads to achieve a conventional swing weight.
The RIP’d NV incorporates the best performance attributes from two of Aldila’s 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®. The Aldila NV, featuring Micro Laminate technology (MLT®), is the most popular aftermarket shaft in history.
