Off Course – Introducing Aretera Golf Shafts

[Canadan]

The introduction and deep dive into Aretera Golf.

Off Course is back this week with a fantastic show and this is episode 189.

Spread tow fabrics is interesting.

My mind is blown @Canadan

Numerical fitting designators not R.S,X !

“negative connotations for a flex when a fitting is there in a non traditional flex”

Love it!

Love it!

Quite a few are in that direction. Kinetixx, UST Mamiya, Project X. Prefer that way to take ego away and allow the golf shaft to be a timing device rather than a measuring manhood.

Yep!

I’m excited to see these new materials get used. It’s in every part of the golf shaft from butt to tip and 50% of the weight of the shaft.

What really surprised the team was, which tip section the testing pool liked. It was contrary to industry standard.

Man this is exciting!

Great Podcast, tons of shaft knowledge! Sounds like Alex is really excited about the shaft and the design they came up with. Excited for it to be dropped!

I agree! I just wonder what the price point will be

Fascinating tech discussion out of the gate

Fascinating tech discussion out of the gate

I agree. I learned a lot and also learned that I didn't know a lot.

I also learned that @Canadan still has some canadian left in him when using the would stout.

Curious about @Canadan take after the interview on the new brand and the technology that was discussed.

One of my biggest takeaways was in the player testing, how many leaned into the more active tip. I get that feeling 100% but for me it's usually more of a stiff vs x-flex type of logic, even if it includes a hard or soft step.

From a shaft perspective, I think this is SO interesting. Creating the feeling of load without making too many functional concessions.

Need to level up my Ohio?

Stahwt.

 

[Daluteh]

I've missed your voice, you golfing legend. I am both smarter for listening to this, and also realizing I don't know anything.

 

[Templet0n]

Oh !!! I cannot wait to listen.

 

[Templet0n]

This is music!!! Sweet sweet music!

Stahwt.

You might need too.

Seriously though, this Off Course blew my mind. I really think it is going to be a market disrupter for those who are interested in it on the after market side.

Kind of a neat picture showing the difference between the carbon fabrics
