The guys at PADERSON Golf Shafts have asked us to round up 12 MyGolfSpy Readers to put the company’s KINETIXx shafts to the test. The 12 readers chosen to participate in the community review will each receive a PADERSON KINETIXx shaft. And yes…of course you get to keep the shaft when you’re done.
To qualify you must either be able to install the shaft yourself, or be willing to have the shaft professionally installed. You will also need to supply your own tip/adapter (where necessary) and grip (we assume you’ll need one of those).
About Paderson
It quite possible that PADERSON is the biggest and most successful shaft company that most golfer have never heard of – even if most of you have likely played a PADERSON designed shaft.
Until 2013, PADERSON’s focus was on the ODM/OEM market. Essentially, they designed and manufactured shafts for known premium shaft brands. PADERSON shafts also powered the two most successful direct response market club products in the history of golf; the original Adams Tight Lies, and the Orlimar Trimetal. I know you’ve heard of those.
As a result of what the company bills as a major core construction breakthrough, PADERSON has shifted its focus to its own brand. Early returns are positive as the company’s KINETIXx shafts will be available as an upgrade option within several of the major OEM’s 2015 lineups.
A Technology Company 1st
PADERSON is the only company in the world to offer visible fiber structure technology. And that word…technology (read more about it here)…it’s important. First and foremost, PADERSON is a technology company, albeit one that happens to own a state of the art manufacturing facility capable of producing 10s of millions of shafts annually. That kind of capacity is basically unheard of in the golf industry.
What’s perhaps most compelling, and most relevant to you is that PADERSON shares our philosophy of putting the consumer first. Part of the PADERSON mission is to dispel the notion that a true premium shaft offering needs to cost $400 or even $1000. It doesn’t.
Despite the most advanced material construction in the industry; a composition consisting of Kevlar and and 3K carbon fiber that offers 20 times the elastic strength of steel, the most expensive offering in the PADERSON lineup has retail price (uncut shaft) of $199.
It all sounds pretty good right? But can PADERSON KINETIXx shafts really, as the company claims, substantial increase ball speed, provide better overall performance?
