Northern Trust Open champ captures 1st Tour victory using Aldila’s NV shafts

At the Northern Trust Open, Aldila showed why they are still the #1 graphite shaft on the PGA Tour. “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” played an integral role for the winner and Aldila also captured the driver, wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts.

The winner of the Northern Trust Open relied on the unmatched performance and incredible feel of Aldila’s NV shafts in his Driver, 3 Wood and hybrid club en route to his first PGA Tour victory.  He carded an 11-under 273 (68-66-70-69) and eventually won on the second playoff hole. With the victory, he jumped to the fourth spot in the FedEx Cup Standings and earned a check for $1,188,000.

“Aldila’s NV™ features Aldila’s patent-pending Micro Laminate Technology™ that provides the players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “The consistent taper and slim profile produces a shaft with consistent performance, flex and feel throughout the length of the shaft while eliminating the dull “boardy” feel of other shafts on the market.”

Led by their hottest shaft series, RIP, Aldila swept the shaft manufacturer counts at the Northern Trust Open. “The Hottest Shafts In Golf” had five more driver shafts, 33 more wood shafts and nearly twice as many hybrid shafts in play than their closest competitor, according to the Darrell Survey. RIP (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) completely transforms shaft design from the inside out providing players with shot control.

Two of Aldila’s latest additions to the NV line is the RIP’d NV and NV 44 Magnum. 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 NV® 44 Magnum is the first truly high performance ultra lightweight sub-50 gram shaft design.  Typical ultra light shafts give up strength, flex, torsional stiffness, and overall stability in an effort to chase lighter weight. Aldila engineers have combined exclusive carbon fiber materials and resins with an innovative “Magnum” shaft profile and our exclusive Micro Laminate Technology® to achieve the highest level of performance possible in an ultra lightweight shaft.  By taking advantage of the mechanical benefits provided by it’s unique structural profile, the NV 44 Magnum offers optimum flex and torque characteristics for the better player while still maintaining the incredible feel that made the original NV the best selling shaft in history.

Aldila (www.aldila.com) catapults power to an unprecedented level. High performance technology harnessed and perfected from a special blend of materials, design and expertise. They are continually on the leading edge of the golf world through their relentless pursuit of the next best innovation. They do the experimenting so you don’t have to.

Aldila captures wood, hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at Waste Management Phoenix Open

Led by its most popular shaft series, RIP, Aldila captured the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, according to the Darrell Survey. Aldila had five more wood and nine more hybrid shafts in play than the next leading competitor.

For the past three years, Aldila has been the #1 graphite shaft of choice on Tour with more wood and hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer, according to the Darrell Survey.


The RIP (Reverse Interlaminar Technology®) 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.

“The RIP™ employs patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform shaft design from the inside out,” said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “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.”

The Phenom is Aldila’s latest addition to the RIP series. It incorporates RIP Technology™ with a unique composite construction to create a new and innovative shaft flex profile for maximum distance and control – the Hyperbolic Flex Zone™. RIP Technology repositions the materials and patterns to optimize the performance characteristics of the shaft. The Phenom’s Hyperbolic Flex Zone provides a stiff tip section for optimal launch and spin control, with a very firm butt section for an incredibly stable feel. The center section of the shaft is softer to provide outstanding kick through impact to maximize ball speed.

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.

The 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 Beta version has a slightly softer tip flex for mid launch, the Gamma has the same launch characteristics as the original Alpha with a higher balance point for use with heavier heads to achieve a conventional swing weight.
