The #1 driver shaft model on tour captures 3 of 4 FedEx Cup playoff wins
POWAY, Calif. -Aldila’s Rogue won the Tour Championship, three out of four playoff events, six of the final 12 PGA Tour events, and 10 events total. The Rogue has also been the #1 driver shaft model on tour for 25 straight weeks including all four FedEx Cup events! An amazing record.
“Once again the numbers and performance speak for themselves,” said John Oldenburg, Aldila’s Vice President of Engineering and Product Development. “Our new Rogue shafts have been #1 on tour throughout the regular tour season and dominated the FedEx Cup events both in terms of numbers and victories. We congratulate and thank all the PGA Tour pros that chose Aldila and the Rogue to help them to victory this past season.”
The Rogue shaft is built on Aldila’s ultra-successful new “Tour” platform using the same tapered tooling and Nex Gen Micro-Laminate Technology™ that provide the exceptional performance of the #1 shaft model on Tour – Aldila’s Tour Green and Tour Blue.
According to Oldenburg, Aldila’s Nex Generation Micro Laminate Technology is comprised of ultra-thin layers of premium, low resin aerospace grade materials. This design evolution eliminates inconsistent shaft performance caused by material variability. Redesigned tooling also raises the shaft balance point, making this the perfect upgrade for today’s modern club head designs.
By incorporating extremely rare, expensive, stiff “Graphitic Carbon” along with Nex Gen Micro Laminate materials into the Rogue design, Aldila is able to make the shaft stiffer and lower torque without adding weight. At the same time, the placement of the material in top third of the shaft (grip end) allows the shaft manufacturer to slightly counterbalance the shaft to work well with today’s heavier driver heads and the longer length of modern drivers.
On the Web.com Tour the winner of the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Invitational in Columbus, Ohio, picked up his first tour win playing Aldila’s Tour Green shaft in his 3 Wood after winning on the first playoff hole. “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” also won the driver and wood shaft manufacturer counts and tied for the top hybrid shaft manufacturer.
Aldila (www.aldila.com) offers patented shaft design technologies that consistently outperform other shafts available. This technology advantage is the reason Aldila is the most popular graphite shaft on the PGA Tour. Tour professionals recognize Aldila’s advanced performance and year after year that there are more Aldila wood and hybrid shafts in play on Tour than any other shaft manufacturer. Whether the Micro Laminate Technology™ first introduced in Aldila NV™, the most popular graphite ever or today’s Next Generation Micro Laminate Technology, Aldila engineers are continually pushing and advancing high performance graphite golf shaft technology well beyond any other manufacturer.
