Brand Book
DRIVEN BY PERFORMANCE. PERFORMANCE THROUGH INNOVATION. ALDILA has been a world-leading producer of composite golf shafts since 1972. That s 46 years of developing dozens of shaft brands and manufacturing hundreds of shaft designs -- many of which have been played by the world s best golfers. Products like HM55, NV, Tour Green and ROGUE have become iconic household names, while the newest offerings -- XTORSION, SYNERGY and QUARANTA -- are setting the stage for the future. PROVEN ON TOUR. Amateurs and pros alike have trusted ALDILA through the years. In fact, our 11-driver shaft wins on tour in 2017 and 8 in 2018 makes for 121 victories in the past 18 years. That s the third-most of any shaft manufacturer a success rate that transcends time. Source: Darrell-Survey Reports: 1997-2018 Driver Shaft Wins.
Technology With the help of ALDILA Composites Division, we have pushed the limits of composite design and innovation, creating revolutionary technology breakthroughs that include: Graphene Infused Prepreg Hyperbolic Technology (HFT) In its purest state, Graphene is 100% carbon - which is up to 300 times stronger than structural steel and 20 times stronger than graphite fiber. It s processed into multi-layer nanoscopic platelets that are then added to different resin systems, strengthening the prepreg material used in shafts. Hyperbolic Technology has been designed to maximize hybrid/iron shaft performance and consistency by developing a frequency progression system throughout the long-mid-short irons. This innovative shaft frequency progression system is optimized by flex for a desired shot trajectory that is consistent in long irons all the way down to wedge. NexGen Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) MAMBA Technology (Multi-Axial Material Bias Angle) ALDILA s patented NexGen Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) utilizes ultra-thin layers of premium aerospacegrade materials. Shafts with MLT use up to twice as many prepreg plies as alternative shafts, producing a stable, solid laminate void of dead zones. This design revolution eliminates inconsistent shots caused by shaft variability, while enhancing feel. Multi-Axial Material Bias Angle (MAMBA ) Technology places a high-tech, flat weave material on the shaft s lower half exterior, where the most twisting occurs during the swing and at impact. MAMBA Technology improves torsional stability and spin control where it s needed the most. S-Core Technology R.I.P. I/O Technology S-Core Technology uses an innovative, internal carbon fiber ribbing system to prevent unwanted shaft deformation during a golf swing. By maintaining shaft symmetry and stability throughout the swing, S-Core Technology delivers more accuracy and energy transfer. ALDILA s Reverse Inter-Laminar Placement (R.I.P.) Technology incorporates computer modeling and exclusive materials provided by Mitsubishi Chemical -- letting our engineers reimagine shaft design and performance to create a revolutionary shaft bearing optimum flex and torque characteristics while yielding incredible feel and shot control. DIALEAD Pitch Fiber Prepreg with DIALEAD Pitch Fiber which is known for its outstanding strength and energy transfer properties, helps minimize unwanted shaft deformation throughout the golf swing. While more costly and difficult to manufacture, the prepreg fortified with DIALEAD Pitch Fiber is much stronger than traditional carbon fibers. 3
ROGUE SERIES Continuing to Defy Convention
ROGUE brings unmatched performance and consistency, through the use of advanced, rare and extremely exotic aerospace materials. Featuring high-modulus DIALEAD pitch fibers that provide advanced performance characteristics, the next generation ROGUE Series incorporates some of the highest-performance, highestmodulus carbon fibers available. ROGUE Silver 130 M.S.I. is low-launch with low-spin. Its profile utilize extremely strong 130 M.S.I. carbon fiber strategically to enhance strength and stability where it s needed the most. /// TECHNOLOGY Prepreg with DIALEAD Pitch Fiber ROGUE Silver 130 M.S.I.

FEATURED SERIES NV Celebrating Fifteen Years of Dominance
The ALDILA NV celebrates its 15th anniversary and remains one of the most successful golf shafts in history. To commemorate this milestone achievement, we ve created a 15th Anniversary Limited Edition NV based off of the original NV Green and VS Proto Blue profiles. /// TECHNOLOGY NexGen Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) NV Blue 15th Anniversary Edition Mid Launch /// Mid Spin Wood Shaft NV Blue 15th Anniversary Edition 60 NV Blue 15th Anniversary Edition 70 NV Blue 15th Anniversary Edition 80 R, S, TX TX TX NV Green 15th Anniversary Edition Low Launch /// Low Spin Wood Shaft NV Green 15th Anniversary Edition 65 NV Green 15th Anniversary Edition 75 NV Green 15th Anniversary Edition 85 S, TX S, TX TX 7
NEW NV SERIES The Future is Now
Debuting in early 2003, The ALDILA NV Series is one of the most popular after-market shafts ever. With that kind of success, why change what works. The next generation NV Series incorporates ALDILA s NexGen Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) - which uses more than 20 layers of ultrathin, aerospace-grade prepreg, that eliminate unwanted gaps and dead zones that can occur during the manufacturing process. MLT enhances feel and eliminates inconsistent shots cause by shaft variability. We ve updated the NV Green and NVS Orange cosmetic to appeal to today s more global audience as well as developed lighter options and additional flexes to help fit more player worldwide. The NV Series was born to perform and continues to withstand the test of time. /// TECHNOLOGY NexGen Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) NV Green Low Launch /// Low Spin NV Pink 55 NV Green 55 NV Green 65 NV Green 75 Wood Shaft L A, R, S, X R, S, X R, S, X NVS Orange High Launch /// High Spin NVS Pink 45 NVS Orange 45 NVS Orange 55 Wood Shaft L A, R A, R, S NVS Orange 65 R, S 9
