USGA CONFORMITY LETTERS
Over the past few decades, the golf industry has moved from persimmon to steel to titanium to bi-metals and tri-metals… now there’s a movement towards composites.
We have proven -through independent robotic tests- that as swing speeds increase, metal woods generate higher spin rates than the MalibuWoody®. With the MalibuWoody® the opposite is true. The faster the swing speed the lower the spin rate.
The all new MalibuWoody® is the only golf club on the market with patented “legal cork®” engineered high in the club head. Coupling the “legal cork®” with a patented super-light Ryton® soleplate, creates a high center of gravity, allowing golfers to get a desired distance while playing a more controllable and higher loft.
- The MalibuWoody® is only 265cc’s (A Centuries Old Standard), not the bigger than a bucket 460cc tin cans.
- Ball/club impact causes a shock/sound wave of vibration running up the shaft. This is noisy “dirty” air and has an extreme negative effect on the stability of the shaft, which in turn has an unfavorable affect on the degree of ball dispersion. The louder the “tin can's” sound…the more negative the effect. To control this detrimental effect, heavier and stiffer shafts are required.
- The proprietary ceramic composite of the MalibuWoody® -coupled with Legal Cork®- defuses this impact sound, and in turn reduces the shock/sound wave producing harmonic stability.
- Because of this “harmonic stability” (which is similar to the difference between aluminum and wood baseball bats), golfers are able to use lighter weight and more flexible shafts.

What is GD Flex?
T
he GD Flex measures the bending stiffness of the entire shaft, which includes the tip and butt stiffness. Frequency measures stiffness in the first 20-25" of the butt section of the shaft. Take, for example, two shafts that have identical frequencies, but have a wide variation in tip stiffness. These shafts may appear to be the same in an assembled golf club, but the difference in tip stiffness will have a huge impact on the trajectory of the golf ball. Typically, a weak tip shaft will produce a higher trajectory versus a stiff tip shaft in the same loft club head. With today's larger heads, tip stiffness translates into increased stability on off center hits. By designing the tip structure of the shaft specifically for a particular shaft type, the golfer will receive the maximum benefit of accuracy and distance.
What is MSI?
Material Stiffness Integration, or MSI, is the design concept by which Graphite Design develops shafts. We believe that by combining materials of different stiffness and fiber volume, we are able to reduce unwanted vibrations while promoting enhanced feel. Composite materials consist of two components: fiber and resin. The stiffness of each fiber type has an impact on how much vibration, or feel, is transmitted up the shaft. The resin acts more like a sponge, absorbing vibrations. By integrating materials of different stiffness and fiber/resin percentages, we can promote better feel. Using low resin content materials equates to more fiber, which means higher strength shafts with better feel and distance. Graphite Design is one of the largest consumers of low resin content composite materials. |

The new Aldila VS Proto Series feature Aldila's exclusive Next-Generation Micro Laminate Technology. Carbon Nano-Tubes, combined with Aldila's proprietary A65 Performance Resin System, utilizing Advanced Ultra High Moduus Graphite Fibers, all synthesized into Micro Laminate Technology. Unparalleled performance and feel. The straightest, longest shaft Aldila has ever offered - with feel other shafts can't well, touch.
Aldila dominates with victories on PGA, Champions, LPGA, and European Tours. Aldila followed up their repeat win at the U.S. Open Championship with sheer domination on all Tours. Almost every model of Aldila’s shafts was on display in a winner’s bag somewhere on Tour. It was Aldila’s VS Proto™ that proved instrumental in helping the winner of the Travelers Championship post his first PGA Tour victory. It was Aldila’s NV and VS Proto shafts that were used by the Wegmans LPGA victor enabling her to remain number one player on the LPGA Tour. |
