ALDILA CLAIMS FIRST HALF OF GOLF'S GRAND SLAM WITH U.S. OPEN VICTORY

Poway, CA, June 20, 2007 – Aldila, Inc. (NASDAQ:NMS:ALDA) followed up its victory at this year’s Masters by winning the season’s second major, the 107th U.S. Open Championship in Oakmont, PA, to lay claim to the first half of golf’s Grand Slam.  Using Aldila’s NV ProtoPype™ shaft in all his woods and hybrid clubs, the U.S. Open winner held off the No. 1 and No. 3 players in the world to finish with a one-stroke victory giving Aldila back-to-back U.S. Open Championship titles.

“To win the first two majors of the season is truly an honor and to capture back-to-back U.S. Open titles while doing it is equally a big thrill for us,” said Mr. Michael J. Rossi, Aldila’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing.  “We couldn’t be prouder of our shafts and the technology behind them,” Mr. Rossi said.

The ProtoPype™ is part of Aldila’s NV™ family that features exclusive aerospace materials and incorporates Aldila’s exclusive Micro Laminate Technology™ that provides the players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel.  “The NV ProtoPype™ is a very stiff tip, low launch version of the standard NV™ designed for hard swinging players that want to hit the ball lower,” said Mr. Rossi.  The stiff tip and low launch of the Aldila ProtoPype™ proved to be a lethal combination for the U.S. Open winner as he finished a close second in driving distance averaging more than 310 yards per drive.

According to the Darrell Survey, Aldila was also the shaft count winner for all woods and hybrids at the U.S. Open at the Oakmont Country Club.
