NEW Aldila RIP-X Prototype Shaft Pics and Infomation

[TollBros]

That's what we have found too Rosco. Tipping can be lessened because the spin and launch are so flat. It's an ideal shaft for strong players or quick tempo players. Power faders or guys that don't want to see the ball draw will love it and so will aggressive swingers.

[Trying4Better]

I know most of this is amateur flaw... BUT

What if you are an aggressive swinger and want the ball to maybe go left?...….somewhat

[Rosco1216]

No doubt!

[Rosco1216]

Adjust the settings on your head to give a little more draw bias than usual ?‍♂️. Assuming you have a head that has that adjustability.

[TollBros]

If your natural swing promotes a draw, it won't change that. It will however, help stop those overcooked shots.

[Trying4Better]

Hey JT, any update on when the data might be put out?

[TollBros]

As soon as we have full availability.

[TollBros]

This finally hit the US Tour this week and as such I'll be posting the data and testing info. We also have them available now in decent quantity so it's go time.

[gioguy21]

I can't wait to get mine to test -- i gotta give the guys who aren't Rosco strong some reference haha

[Rosco1216]

Ha!

[cardoustie]

50 in TX hiding in the weeds?

[TollBros]

Quite possibly. All we have at the moment is 60 and 70TX but as it starts getting traction on Tour I could see the weight range expanding.

[cardoustie]

Green mamba 50x also on wish list

[Rosco1216]

bugs on quoting hopefully will get fixed soon. It won’t let me comment on this topic which still quoting Gio.

 

Toll - when is data going to be posted?

[TollBros]

I want to let some of the guys who bought one chime in and then I'll start with data once the topic is regularly active. Later this week maybe.

Any update on when the data will be posted?

[Chilli9880]

Toll, very excited to hear more reviews. I have the Rogue Silver 130 MSI in the Driver and that's not going to change at all, but I'm really curious to put this in my "4-wood and 42.5 inches. Are your customer doing all Drivers or have any customers put this into a 3/4 wood?

[Chilli9880]

Also, I did notice there is ZERO information on this shaft on the Aldila website, at least none that I can find. Any idea why that is if this shaft has technically been released? Waiting on the new Rogue hype to die down?

[Trying4Better]

JT, what is the torque number on this shaft?

[Matt614]

I think he told me it was 2.7

[TollBros]

You'll see reviews coming in next week I'd say. We just received regular availability from Tour, and it just hit the PGA last week. Customer orders have just started being filled so I'd expect more feedback by next week. I will be posting data along with or just before this happens so you'll get a big influx of info and data from several sources at once. It has been hard holding on to this for so long, but the time is finally right to release it.

[Rpete33]

90 gram range please !

[Chilli9880]

JT, Anyone on the PGA Tour gaming one currently? Also, are you filling any 3/4 wood orders or is everyone putting this in a driver?

[TollBros]

Yes. Several wins on Euro tour already as well. Data is rock solid coming tomorrow or Friday. We will start in blocks as usual and I think Ed said all 44 preliminary orders went out as well so customer feedback should be rolling in as well in pretty short order. I think for guys who spin the ball too much, this is a 100% winner.

[TollBros]

First block of data will be up today. I'll also be posting the first block of data on about 6 of the new driver heads for 2020.

[Chilli9880]

I see that this shafts and all the specs have been released on the Aldila website. Data looks very interesting and I hope we start see more PGA Tour action on this shaft! One thing I find interesting is that there isn't a X-Stiff Shafts on the spec list. It goes right from stiff to tour stiff. Not that I think it matters. I always went by desired weight and torque with Aldila shafts. Glad to see something that's been 6-8 months in the making finally ready for consumption.

[TollBros]

Data block on the TX will be up in about 30 min.

[TollBros]

First comparison block. Also, how do you guys feel about the Red eyes? Maybe different colored eyes for different variations of Rip?

 

[Rosco1216]

JT been in the gym.
