‘The Hottest Shafts In Golf’ wins wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on PGA Tour
POWAY, Calif. – Both the winner and second place finisher at the Tampa Bay Championship benefitted from the cutting edge technology of Aldila’s graphite shafts. The winner played Aldila’s NV Hybrid featuring the company’s Micro Laminate Technology® and the runner-up Aldila’s RIP shaft featuring its Reverse Interlaminar Placement Technology®. In fact, seven of the Top 10 finishers at the Tampa Bay Championship played Aldila shafts.
The winner came back from 70th place after the opening round to capture his first PGA Tour victory and a check for $990,000.
The second place finisher was also using Aldila’s new graphite RIP iron shafts in his irons. According to Aldila engineers, the company’s new graphite irons will afford players unrivaled consistency, straightness and low torque with optimum feel when they are released later this summer.
Aldila also captured the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at the Tampa Bay Championship. Aldila had six more wood shafts and nearly double the amount of hybrid shafts in play than the next leading competitor, according to the Darrell Survey.
The Aldila NV™ features exclusive aerospace materials and incorporates Aldila’s exclusive Micro Laminate Technology that provides the players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel. The dampening advantages of the Micro Laminate Technology have eliminated distracting and destructive “shock”. The result is a slim, stable design that maximizes distance, improves accuracy and offers the “perfect feel” for which the NV is famous.
“The RIP™ employs patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform shaft design from the inside out,” said John E. Oldenburg, Aldila Vice President, Engineering/Product Development. “Through the use of computer modeling technology and exclusive materials provided by the Aldila Materials Division, Aldila engineers were able to completely rethink golf shaft design and performance. The result is a revolutionary shaft with optimum flex and torque characteristics with incredible feel.”
Aldila’s RIP series features five different shafts to help meet the needs of a variety of players. RIP Alpha, Beta, Gamma, RIP’d NV and RIP Phenom.
