Tour Blue and Tour Green helps Aldila capture 13th straight wood, hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on tour
POWAY, Calif. – After switching his 4 wood to Aldila’s RIP® 80 shaft, the winner of the FedEx St. Jude Classic captured his first career PGA Tour victory. He shot a 12-under 268 (66-64-69-69) to win by two strokes and earned an invitation to the Masters Tournament as well as a first place check for $1,026,000.
“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.”
Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts in play, Aldila once again captured double shaft manufacturer count wins on the PGA Tour. At the FedEx St. Jude Classic, Aldila had 18 more wood and 12 more hybrid shafts in play than the next leading shaft manufacturer, according to the Darrell Survey. Aldila has won both shaft counts for 13 consecutive PGA Tour events this season including the Masters.
“The Tour Green is a stiff tip shaft with moderate torque designed for lower/penetrating ball flight producing a lower spin rate,” said Bahl. “The Aldila Tour Blue is moderate stiff tip shaft and very low torque designed for a slightly higher ball flight with low to moderate spin rate. The shaft profiles have a constant taper to provide exceptional feel and a smooth, controlled release. Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts are made with the latest generation of Aldila’s Micro Laminate materials (MLT). The ultra thin, ultra strong material allows for the construction of a shaft with outstanding performance and unparalleled consistency.”
The Most Accurate Driver on the Web.com Tour is benefiting from the accuracy of Aldila’s Tour Blue shaft in his driver and 3 Wood. He has an overall season driving accuracy percentage of 79.63 compared to the Tour’s average of 63.46 percent.

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, 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 advanced RIP Technology®, Aldila engineers are continually pushing and advancing high performance graphite golf shaft technology well beyond any other manufacturer.
