Author: admin | Category: Uncategorized
Our primary authorized golf shaft review of 2010 seems to be one of the most well-known shafts of the year.The Aldila RIP started out with a debut in test mode at the John Deere Classic in July of 2009′ and proved to be a pivotal marketing point for the shaft. The RIP ripped a course-record low of 61.And then, Heath Slocum followed up in August using the Aldila RIP in his driver to stun the top players in the world capturing a one-shot victory at The Barclays.Steve Stricker, Geoff Ogilvy, Ross Fisher have all either played or tested the RIP shaft.The RIP placed 1st and 2nd at the recent SBS Championship, to top it off.
The Aldila RIP is a lower torque shaft with a stiff tip giving the better player a reliable shaft. Built for stability, reduced spin rate and an optimal trajectory, the RIP is ripe for the pickin’ come 2010.
Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager said, “RIP(TM) is Aldila’s new shaft technology that provides a lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control. “The RIP(TM) is currently undergoing testing on the PGA Tour and is scheduled to be launched later this year and will be released in 2010 through some of the major OEM’s product lines.”
