ALDILA UNVEILS NEW ALDALITE 350 GRAPHITE SHAFT AN EXTENSION OF THE POPULAR ALDALITE SERIES

SAN DIEGO, CA (October 18, 1999) Aldila, golf's leading designer and manufacturer of superior performance graphite wood and irons shafts today unveiled their new AldaLite 350 graphite shaft, an addition to the popular AldaLite series.

The new AldaLite 350 shaft is available in regular, stiff and x-stiff flexes and weights only 65 grams, with a .350 tip design and 3.5 degrees of torque, exceptionally low for an ultralite shaft. In addition, the 65 gram weight is the preferred weight for the overlength drivers, providing increased performance and control over lighter shafts. The .350 tip size is also advantageous for reshafting new driver models from most major golf manufacturers.

"The new AldaLite 350 graphite shaft provides players with an ultra light shaft that offers the performance and consistency that tour players demand," said Mike Rossi, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "By utilizing our exclusive A50 fiber, our research and development team is able to offer innovative shaft designs like the AldaLite 350 that can't be duplicated in the marketplace."
