RIFLE TECHNOLOGIES
America's first steel shaft manufacturer, Rifle has repeatedly set benchmarks for the golf industry with a long tradition of innovation. Engineering breakthroughs, such as Frequency Matching™ and MicroTaper® step geometry, have permeated through the golf industry as other shaft manufacturers attempt to duplicate Rifle’s research.
Ten years ago, the Rifle® revolutionized the golf industry with a stepless, steel shaft that provides tighter shot dispersion, greater distance and improved accuracy with a patented internal ’rifling’ design. On the heels of the Rifle shaft came one of the first true advancements in shaft technology — Frequency Matching that measures and defines a shaft’s flex through electronic calibration so the shaft flexes and feels the same with every swing.
Introducing even more game-enhancing benefits was Rifle’s MicroTaper Step Technology design that features steps that are more shallow-angled than traditional shafts and more efficient at transferring energy. Rifle then made another dramatic technological leap with Flex Distribution Technology (FDT), an advanced design perfected with the support of PGA professionals. Rifle Flighted shafts feature different flex points to manipulate ball flight and produce variable ball trajectories for different clubs within a single set.
Last year, Rifle merged Tour-proven stepless technology with a lightweight steel design.
With constant weights of 96 grams or less, the lightweight, stepless shafts store and transfer energy
more efficiently than traditional stepped shafts for increased distance, superior control and solid feel.
Through the successful application of each of these new technologies, Rifle has brought
enjoyment to golfers through advanced research and cutting-edge technology...proving that America’s
first steel shaft manufacturer is the best.
FLIGHTED TECHNOLOGY
A revolutionary concept developed through exclusive Flex Distribution Technology" and perfected on Tour.
- Provides an exaggerated change in kick point within the club set to manipulate ball flight.
- Long irons have a lower kick point for higher ball flight, easier launch and greater distance.
- Short irons have a higher kick point for a lower trajectory, greater accuracy and control.
- Available in irons only.
- Now in 4.5, too.
