Tour Blue and Tour Green shafts are made with the latest generation of Aldila's Micro Laminate materials (MLT). The shaft profiles have a constant taper to provide exceptional feel and a smooth, controlled release. "The Tour Green is a stiff tip shaft with moderate torque designed for lower/penetrating ball flight producing a lower spin rate. "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," said Stewart Bahl, Aldila's Marketing Manager. With less resin, the Tour Blue and Tour Green can be made super light, stiffer, and very low torque. They use the thinnest materials and use much less resin (or glue) than older shaft designs. According to John Oldenburg, VP of engineering for Aldila, the new models are the most consistent shafts his company has ever produced.
I've been writing for a few months about the new Tour Green and Tour Blue shafts. These are super low torque (1.2t in Stiff, 1.1 t in X). Send me a note for help choosing the right taper tip shaft. Available in both 90 and 115 gram designs. Hyperbolic Flex Technology provides a stiff tip section for optimal launch and spin control, with a very firm butt section for an incredibly stable feel, while the center section of the shaft is softer to provide outstanding kick through impact to maximize ball speed. RIP Technology repositions the materials and patterns to optimize the performance characteristics of the shaft. The new Aldila RIP iron incorporates Aldila's Tour proven RIP Technology with unique composite construction to create a new and innovative shaft flex profile for maximum distance and control - Hyperbolic Flex Technology. Here's what they have to say about the new shafts: What sets the RIP Iron apart is that it is lower in torque and is straighter along its length than any steel shaft. The RIP Tour taper tip irons were released on Tour late last year and they already have multiple wins under their belt. I'm thinking about offering these shafts with my Hiskei forged wedges, what do you think? At $39 the RIP Tours make an excellent case for reshafting your OEM irons to get the benefits of graphite. Cool graphics/paint and as they say "not as good as steel, it's better." Steel shaft prices are now $35-$40 for many of the new models.
Had a chance to have a look at the new Aldila RIP Tour irons.
