The Aldila RIP Graphite Shafts employ patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform shaft design from the inside out. Through the use of computer modeling technology and exclusive material provided by the Aldila Materials Division, Aldila engineers were able to completely rethink golf shaft design and performance. PGA Tour tested and PGA Tour proven.
The R.I.P. (Reverse Interlaminar Placement) employs patent-pending technology and exclusive materials to completely transform the shaft from the inside out. The R.I.P. technology repositions the materials and shaft design patterns to maximize the flexural and torsional performance characteristics of the carbon fiber. Through the use of computer modeling technology and exclusive materials, Aldila created a revolutionary shaft with optimum flex and torque characteristics with incredible feel. In addition, the hoop strength, or cross-sectional stability of the shaft is also increased to provide greater stability near the clubhead for maximum shot control.
Available in three high performance models: The Aldila R.I.P. Alpha 60 Alpha 70, Alpha 80, The Aldila R.I.P. Beta 60, Beta 70, and the Aldila R.I.P. Gamma 60, Gamma 70.
