A proper club fitting is one of the best ways to make sure golfers are getting the most from their golf game, but unlike driver loft or grip size, finding the driver shaft that works best requires testing models head-to-head to learn which one delivers the best performance.
On the latest episode of GOLF’s Fully Equipped podcast, GOLF’s Jonathan Wall and True Spec Golf’s Kris McCormack sat down for an exclusive, in-studio interview with Alex Dee, a veteran golf shaft designer and co-founder of Aretera Golf. Before co-founding Aretera, Dee worked on Fujikura’s Ventus line, and during the conversation, he explained the two new Aretera Alpha One profiles and what makes them unique. 3 4 flanged ball valve
“With the Alpha one, it’s a line of shafts offered in two profiles: the blue and the gray,” he said. “The difference between them is the gray has a 10 percent stiffer tip section, with everything else from weight balance to torque being the same, which is meant to help simplify fitting. (This helps) in the fitting process, because in many cases, it can be hard to tell when (going between different shafts) what is causing what when it comes to results.”
“When it comes to profiles, we stay after from defining our shafts by ball flight profile because we see in our player testing that there can be such a variance based on the shaft specs and also how the golfer interacts with (the shaft).”
