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 Penley Heater2 Hybrid Shaft
 
Carter Penley is one of the few - if any, owner, founder and designer that is full time at the manufacturing plant and on the floor of the manufacturing facility tuning the manufacturing process and is personally involved in making course corrections and solving manufacturing problems on a daily, if not hourly basis.

Carter's latest design is the Heater2 Hybrid and here's what he has to say about Hybrid Shaft Design: "The better ball strike is one that launches the ball a few degrees higher than the loft of the head and carries 80% of the distance to the target and then drops at a 50 to 55 degree angle to the target surface with virtually a soft impact and very little roll, allowing the player to achieve their desired distance with accuracy and confidence with every strike."

The Penley Heater 2 Hybrid is 90 grams, 2.3 torque, and features a black and optic yellow paint treatment.

KBS HiRev Wedge Shafts
 
KBS has designed a new wedge shaft called the Hi-Rev that is designed to make up for recent Groove-Rule changes. They're hard to come by, If you'd like one, I've got 3 in my wedge shaft stash in Stiff flex (125g, taper tip). Price is $38 each.

Here's more info from KBS- Designed to impart additional backspin on the ball, the all-new KBS Hi-Rev couldn't have been introduced at a better time. With the controversial 2010 Groove-Rule changes recently taking effect, the KBS Hi-Rev delivers with more spin and control around greens. By lengthening the tip section, beefing up the weight and keeping the signature KBS step profile; the KBS Hi-Rev shaft will amplify your game while maintaining the signature 'feel' players have come to expect from KBS.

Hot Shots
 
Another Fujikura win this past weekend with the young Irishman playing Rombax V and ZCom Pro shafts in his 3- and 5-woods, respectively. http://www.clubmaker-online.com/fuji.home.html I'm pretty sure the winner of the The Crowns tournament (he shot a final round 58) was hitting the Graphite Design TourAD Di in his driver. Need to confirm it but he was playing it a few weeks ago.http://www.clubmaker-online.com/products/gd.tourad.di.html

I'm carrying the Mitsubishi Thump and Fubuki hybrids shafts. Great hybrid shafts. Send me a note for assembled pricing on the entire Mitsubishi line. http://clubmaker-online.com/fubuki.html

Japan clubmaker Fourteen Golf has added a black finish to their V5 wedge line, contact me for pricing. Nice looking forged wedge series.

Had a chance to hit both the Matrix HD6 and new Radix HD shafts. The HD is for heavy hitters, the Radix is a bit more forgiving, you don't feel like you have to come out of your shoes. Blue color is cool, too. http://clubmaker-online.com/mcc/radix.html

They are made from a proprietary blend of elastomeric materials that are very tacky with a super soft (but firm) feel.
