Golf shafts have changed dramatically over the years, and the materials used to build them continue to evolve. At the THP Kinetixx Experience, participants had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with Kinetixx Golf and learn more about what goes into designing and building a premium composite golf shaft.
For this edition of Kinetixx Shaft Boot Camp, Jason Horodezky from Kinetixx Golf sits down to answer questions about the company, its approach to shaft design, and one technology that continues to generate plenty of conversation: Kevlar EXO.
What is Kinetixx Kevlar EXO?
Kevlar is a material most people have probably heard of, but likely not when talking about a golf shaft. Kinetixx uses its Kevlar EXO technology as part of its composite shaft construction, giving its engineers another material to work with when trying to influence how a shaft feels and performs.
In the video, Horodezky explains what Kevlar EXO is, why Kinetixx uses it, and the role it can play within the overall shaft design. More importantly, the discussion goes beyond simply naming materials and dives into how those materials can influence the characteristics golfers actually experience when swinging a golf club.

Of course, materials are only one part of the equation. Horodezky also discusses Kinetixx Golf’s overall approach to shaft design and some of the things golfers should understand when considering a Kinetixx shaft for their game.
Whether you enjoy digging into golf shaft technology, are interested in the fitting process, or simply want to know what makes Kinetixx different, this edition of Kinetixx Shaft Boot Camp offers a look behind the curtain.

watching now. This should be good!
Good question on trajectory profiles.
I agree with the answer on justification on only very small changes noticed.
“Use your head, change your shaft”…..Interesting.
Very cool – loving this video content!
You can tell Jason feels really strongly about the merits of the product. I don’t know anything about the algorithm he developed for flex rating recommendations, but I am interested in what that is. I admit their rating system is difficult to navigate.
Gotta watch this later when I have a few min free

Jason suggested to us at the event to contact the company through the website to get a shaft suggestion for your game.
Awesome video. Love being able to hear the conversations that participants are able to experience. The access to industry experts is part of what make THP Experiences great.

Also love this. Cause some of the website shaft recommendations can be really confusing.
I need to queue this one up later. After following the Kinetixx Experience a lot of knowledge was dropped that left me trying to make sense of it all

Yeah they are aware and its being worked on
I mentioned this in the SyrgeX thread so might as well mention it here too. There will be a part 2 to this video with THPer questions as well. Didn't want it to be too long since its just a Q and A

Yup Kinetixx stands by this. Optimize your head for launch conditions and there is a shaft out there in their catalog that will fit your swing.
That’s great stuff!

Clubhead is king.
Really good stuff! Jason is so passionate and knowledgeable, it’s unbelievable.

We must’ve asked a lot of questions! :ROFLMAO:
Jason is legit one of the smartest people on the darn planet.
Between the Kinetixx and the Mitsubishi events and Don from True temper, I think THPers as a whole gained so much knowledge on how shafts are created and how they are fit to each type of golfer speed / swing tendencies.
So much information was given to us by Jason, Don and the Mitsubishi guys, there's so much to learn. Thanks @Lord Tox for creating this video! I can't wait to watch / listen to it.

He really is and I can’t emphasize this enough. Others have made similar comments.
He’s genuinely a fantastic person even when not talking science, and his passion for everything he does, is shown through his personality in a bright way. (y)
The fact that Kinetixx makes their own materials is insanely cool. I bet not a lot of people know that.

Even being aware of that, hearing why that is so beneficial to them is eye opening. That was a great conversation. [USER=3]@JB[/USER] came with some fantastic questions.

Being able to control your material supply chain is massive.
Simply, wow!
