Aldila Takes Dubai World Championship

Europe’s new #1 golfer trusted the accuracy, reliability and increased distance of Aldila’s #1 shaft, the VooDoo®, in his Driver to help him lock up the Dubai World Championship title by six strokes Sunday. In the final round, he shot a course record 8-under 64 to finish with a 23-under 265 total. His 31st victory of his career helped him secure the European Tour’s first Race to Dubai title. He had won the title of Europe’s Top Golfer in 2000 when it was known as the European Order of Merit.


He ranks 2nd in Total Driving Average on the European Tour and finished 9th in Driving Distance with an average of 299.8 yards. His longest drive of the year was 363 yards. He ranks 53rd in Driving Accuracy with a 64.3% average. In 2009, he played 26 events on the European Tour finishing five times in the Top 10 including wins at the Portugal Masters and the Dubai World Championship. “We are pleased that players continue to show their confidence in Aldila’s shaft technology to consistently perform in these world-class events,” said Stewart Bahl Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “It’s exciting to see more and more VooDoo shafts in play week in and week out on all the Tours as the pros continue to rely on the patent-pending S-core Technology™ in Aldila’s VooDoo shaft.

S-core, or stabilized, core is designed to maximize distance and provide outstanding accuracy. The VooDoo has a one-piece high modulus carbon stabilization rib running the length of the shaft. This innovative rib structure keeps the shaft more concentric, preventing shaft ovaling, deformation and wasted energy during the golf swing. Because the shaft’s symmetry is maintained throughout the swing, it loads and unloads more consistently, enabling players to more reliably deliver the club head to the ball every swing.
