Five of the Top 10 finishers at the Masters played Aldila shafts, including the second place finisher who played Aldila’s new Tour Green shaft in his Driver and Aldila’s RIP shaft in his 3 Wood.
After switching to Aldila’s new Tour Blue shaft in his hybrid club, the winner of the WNB Golf Classic posted his second career win on the Web.com Tour. He came from five shots back in the final round of the WNB Golf Classic to capture the win by firing a 6-under 66 and finishing the tournament with a 16-under 272 for a one-stroke victory. With the win he collected $108,000 and moved from No.87 to No. 6 on the money list.
The Most Accurate Driver on the PGA Tour plays Aldila’s Tour Green in his driver and 3 wood as well as Aldila’s new graphite RIP Iron shafts in all of his iron clubs. He leads the Tour with an overall Driving Accuracy Percentage rating of 73.13 percent compared to the Tour average of 59.78 percent.
According to Aldila engineers, the Tour Green and Tour Blue is a new shaft design that’s undergoing final testing on Tour and will be released later this year.
