Looks
|
The Aldila ONE is a modern looking high tech graphite shaft
with two-tone paint scheme and segmented design. The graphics
are subtle and the color makes the ONE recognizable from
a distance. The shaft looks particulary sharp when combined
with a jet black head like the one tested in this review. |

Performance
|
We found the performance of this shaft to be very solid.
The shaft offers substantial
feel and feedback throughout the swing. We found this enhanced
feel resulted in good ball
control. Well struck
shots were rewarded with a consistent boring trajectory that
hung in the air. We felt that the
ONE shaft played on the
soft side of the designated flex. This was attributed to
the segmented technology. The shaft
responded well to varying
tempo swings and we liked the feel of the shaft kicking through
the impact zone. With its multiple
weight and tip flex options,
this shaft should appeal to a wide range of golfers that
are interested in optimizing
their game through matching
their swing characteristics to a specific shaft. |
