The Afterburner 501 series is designed to increase ball speed, allowing even players with slower head speeds to experience professional-level initial ball speed!
While conventional shafts typically use high modulus graphite, the Afterburner incorporates an impact-resistant material. This specialized material is engineered for rapid kickback, enabling TRPX to create a shaft that excels in enhancing the initial ball speed to an exceptional degree!
Carbon materials in golf shafts are commonly categorized into two types: impact-resistant materials and high modulus materials.
High modulus materials give the shaft flexibility with their exceptional bending properties while impact-resistant materials, as the name suggests, have the ability to rebound upon impact. The Afterburner uses an impact-resistant material, but a drawback of impact-resistant materials is their susceptibility to breakage, even though they excel in kickback specialization. Consequently, they are not commonly used in shaft construction.
*TRPX does not disclose kick point and torque information. These values vary greatly depending on the measurement method used by each company, so we provide them to customers through fitting studios, workshops, and shops.
FOOP Technology
FOOP TECHNOLOGY is a unique shaft design innovation by TRPX, featuring a full-length layer of fibers strategically positioned at a 90-degree angle to the shaft body. The technology capitalizes on its ability to restore the shaft diameter, which tends to deform into an oval shape during the downswing, back to a perfect circle. As a result, it achieves remarkable advancements in ball speed that were previously unattainable with conventional shafts.
