What sets the VooDoo apart from other shafts
is its patent pending S-core, or stabilized
core, Technology designed to increase
distance and provide outstanding accuracy
with each swing. The real "magic" of the
VooDoo is the high modulus carbon
stabilization rib running the length of the
shaft.
"Our S-core Technology dramatically
stabilizes the shaft's cross-section through
the use of an internal carbon-fiber rib
system," said John Oldenburg, Aldila's Vice
President of Engineering. "The innovative rib
structure increases hoop strength/stiffness
so much that it is 80 percent greater than
conventional graphite, and up to 60 percent
greater than competitors' attempts at cross
sectional stabilization."
New for 2010 is the NV Voodoo profile. A bit firmer tip for lower launch and lower spin vs. the VS Voodoo.

Tacki Macs colorful new ITOMIC grips are not
like traditional rubber grips. They are made
from a proprietary blend of elastomeric
materials that are very tacky with a super
soft (but firm) feel. This revolutionary
blend of thermo-forming materials is both
very durable, and high performing in all
weather conditions. ITOMIC grips maintain
their tacky feel and new look for years by
washing them with warm soapy water.
The new Itomic grips are available in black, white, red, or blue and in a new wrap style. Follow the link below to order Itomic grips direct from Tacki Mac. |

Fujikura has revamped nearly their entire
shaft lineup for 2010. I've talked about the
hot new Motore Speeder Red model with it's
new Quadra Axis design (sort of a blend of
their original Triax and new Motore design)
and they've also announced a higher kickpoint
Motore Speeder Blue. A bit lower launch and
spin vs. the Red. See the link below for
installed prices on this new line. Perfect in
an R9.
They have also introduced the Motore F3, an easier to hit, higher launch/higher spin version of last years Motore F1. According to Fujikura, Motore H.I.T. Technology stores more energy during the downswing and releases the energy just before impact while maintaining stability. Contact me for installed pricing on the F1 and F3. Finally, Fuji has introduced the Fit-on Max. This is the replacement to the E-Series. According to Fujikura, this new design gives each shaft optimal flexural rigidity and exceptional feedback. Good looking new shaft line and priced at $125 plus installation. |

I've been carrying the new Project X Wood and
Hybrid shafts since late last summer. The
first batch were tour designs (still
available) and the shafts are now available
in a non-tour model in softer flexes with a
slightly higher launch and spin profile. The
5.0 is 60g with a mid tip stiffness, the 5.5
is 62g with mid tip stiffness, the 6.0 is
66g with a stiff-mid tip stiffness, the 6.5
and 7.0 is 69g with a stiff tip. The Project
X hybrids are also available in the softer
non-tour models.
The new Project X driver shaft has a similar bend profile to Project X iron shafts. The driver shafts firm tip design yields a penetrating launch and low spin while its low torque and reinforced cross section provide the most stable shaft performance on tour. One lucky Twitter follower of mine won one in a drawing I did the other day. Follow along at http://twitter.com/golfcast . I hope to do other contests and free giveaways. Send me an email for ordering instructions if you decide to go with the non-tour model. Specs and pricing on the Tour version at the link below. Great new shaft line. |

I can still get the Nickent 4DX as a
component and have found an interesting
combination for you to consider. I talked to
my contact at True Temper and asked about
their new GS95 iron shaft for use as a hybrid
shaft. He suggested it for the mid to high
handicapper looking for a lightweight (101g)
steel shaft with an active tip that is easy
to hit. The GS95 is supposed to offer the
stability and consistency of steel but with a
unique "graphite-like feel". Price is $18.39
each.
I also have a special Project X hybrid that offers lower launch and spin for stronger players that is excellent in the Nickent head, especially if you're looking to match up your hybrid with your iron shaft weights. Comes in both a mid and mid/high launch version If you like to build your own hybrid I can sell you the head for $40 or build you one with the GS95, Project X, or any shaft you like. Send me a note for a quote. |

I put a call out recently for PGA Merchandise
Show news to include in the Clubmaker Report
and received lots of great new product
information. The nice folks at Softspikes
introduced a new Black Widow grip that looks
interesting, Winn has a new superlight grip
called the Winnlight, Lamkin has a new grip
called the N-Dur and 3Gen, Golf Pride
announced their new lineup for 2010 which
includes the revamped Tour Wrap® 2G, the
purple/black New Decade® MultiCompound and
the white/black DD2® swing grips.
Matrix also has the Radix, Phi, and Reign line of shafts. The Reign M2 has heat sensitive paint that changes color from light blue to white at 86 deg. I've seen a video of it, really cool. I'll try and do full write-ups on these and other products in future Clubmaker Report issues. I also hope to have some nice product giveaways/contests in the next few weeks for Clubmaker Report readers, watch your email inbox for details. Finally, you may have noticed more sponsors interested in passing along product information to you via The Clubmaker Report. I will identify each sponsor at the top of the newsletter for clarity on what is editorial and paid advertising. |
