Rifle-branded steel shafts combine four advanced
technologies to deliver steel shaft performance
unmatched in the golf industry. Only Rifle steel shafts
offer: Frequency Matching that perfectly matches a set
of clubs through electronic calibration; Stepless Design
Technology that eliminates the energy-robbing ‘steps’
found on most other steel shafts, and provides greater
accuracy and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact;
Patented Internal ‘Rifling’ that transfers energy more
efficiently than other steel shafts, reduces vibration
and increases distance; and advanced Flighted Technology
that features produces variable ball trajectories for
different clubs within a single set.
For more than 80 years, many of golf’s greatest players have
turned to RIFLE for high-performance steel and
graphite shafts. RIFLE products have won every major U.S.
championship, every major on the Senior and LPGA Tours,
multiple Vardon Trophies, Player of the Year titles on every
tour, and nine of the last 10 Orders of Merit.
Why should I be playing
Rifle® shafts in my clubs?
Every Rifle steel shaft is manufactured with patented,
proprietary technology that makes it out perform all other
shafts on the market. Internal and external design features
transfer energy to the club head more efficiently for these
performance improvements: Greater distance, Tighter shot
dispersion, Better control, and a Solid feel at impact with
less shock. Additionally, Rifle shafts are Frequency Matched
to ensure identical shaft flex from club-to-club throughout
the set for consistent results swing-to-swing.

RIFLE Shafts Available at
the Arizona Golf Company |
|
Rifle Project X™
 
A proven winner on the PGA Tour, this
complex RIFLE features a different constant taper per inch
for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in
more energy transfer to the ball. The ball gets up faster
and flattens out for a penetrating trajectory.
|
|
Rifle Project X™ Flighted
In addition to the playing
characteristics that have made the Project X shaft a tour
favorite, the all-new Project X Flighted features an
exaggerated change in kick point within each shaft
throughout the set to optimize ball flight through the
bag. Long irons provide a lower kick point for higher ball
flight, easier launch and greater distance, while the
short irons have a higher kick point for a lower
trajectory, greater accuracy and control. |
Rifle Project X™ High
Launch
The Project X High Launch iron
shaft gives mid- to high handicap golfers the same high
performance Rifle technology that Tour players appreciate
with the Project X. Features lighter weights and longer
tip parallel sections, delivers a higher launch angle and
increases ball velocity and spin rate. |

Rifle Woods, Irons, Wedges and Putters
It
is no coincidence that top-ranked TOUR
players worldwide play Rifle shafts. A key
element in our research and development
process is proving shaft design with the
best players in the world. And the list of
Rifle benefits is extensive: tighter shot
dispersion; better control; greater
distance with improved accuracy; a smooth,
yet solid feel at impact.
It's What's Inside That Counts
The amazing benefits of Rifle are possible
through a patented internal and external
Rifle design that transfers energy more
efficiently than any other shaft on the
market. It's this energy transfer that
gives Rifle its solid feel at impact with
less shock and vibration.

RIFLE Flighted Iron

A revolutionary concept developed through exclusive Flex
Distribution Technology™ and perfected on the PGA and
European Tours. Rifle Flighted iron shafts provide an
exaggerated change in kick point within the club set to
manipulate ball flight.
|
RIFLE Hybrid
 
The Rifle Hybrid features soft tip properties of a fairway
wood shaft which helps get the ball airborne, while at the
same time having the length and torsion control of a long
iron which helps keep the club on plane and gives a
player better control.
|
|
RIFLE Spinner®

Originally made for PGA Tour players who like a softer
feel in their scoring irons, the Rifle Spinner is a
scoring wedge shaft designed for sand, lob and gap wedges.
|
RIFLE®
& Precision®
Putter
The Rifle putter shaft features the same patented
‘rifling’ design as the wood and iron shafts. Precision
putter shafts offer consistent performance on the green.

|
Precision®
N-Gen Hybrid Set
N-GEN shafts for the long- to mid- irons are composed of
high-modulus graphite and are designed to enhance
distance, generate less spin on the ball and produce a
more optimum shot trajectory.
The N-GEN mid- to short-iron
shafts are lightweight steel and feature Precision's
unique MicroTaper Step design that eliminates weak points
and increases energy transfer to the ball.

Precision™
MicroLite 80
Minimum weight. Maximum
performance.
With cut weights as low as 78 grams (PW, A-flex), the
all-new Precision MicroLite 80 steel shafts are Royal
Precision's lightest steel shafts ever designed with
Tour-proven Micro-Taper Step Technology. High-performance
and extremely lightweight, MicroLite 80 shafts possess
enhanced playability and eliminate the weak points found
in steel shafts with traditional step patterns.
The innovative Micro-Taper Step design creates
'micro-steps' that are far more durable and much more
efficient at transferring energy, thus providing golfers
with increased clubhead speed and greater distance.

RIFLE AirLite™
The lightest Rifle ever!
High
performance and lightweight, Rifle AirLite possesses
enhanced playability without the enlarged step designs
of standard weight shafts that can adversely affect feel
and control.

Frequency Matching, developed by
engineers Dr. Joe Braly and Kim Braly in the late 70's, is a
highly technical method of precisely measuring and defining
the flex of the golf shaft through electronic calibration.
Refined to perfection over the past 20 years, this patented
process remains the only accurate method of producing a
perfectly matched set of golf clubs today.
Through their work with PGA Tour
players, the Bralys discovered that shaft flex was extremely
inconsistent within a flex designation (R, S, X). Five
"stiff" shafts would often vary as much as ten frequency
cycles within a category, causing the player to vary his or
her swing to compensate.
The Arizona Golf Company
believes in Frequency Matching
because flex is not only important, it is personal. Our
frequency analyzer allows us to measure the natural
frequency of your favorite club. Taking into account head weight,
length and balance every club in your bag can be fit with
Precision Frequency Matched shafts that flex identically
through the set. Once you are properly fitted, all your
clubs will flex the same, and therefore feel the same,
helping develop a consistent and dependable golf swing.
A perfectly matched set of clubs
is just as important to a beginning player as it is
essential to the champions on Tour.
New players can
concentrate on a golf swing, rather than compensating for
equipment vagaries. The benefits of Frequency Matching are
validated. Precision shafts have won every major U.S.
Championship at least once, every major on the Senior and
LPGA Tours, multiple Vardon Trophies, Seven Straight Orders
of Merit and Player of the Year titles on every tour!

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.
How is the
Rifle Flighted different from the Rifle?

The Rifle Flighted was
introduced in 1998 after tremendous success on the European
Tour with many notable professionals – including a recent
seven-time winner of the European Order of Merit (Leading
Money Winner). It has ALL of the same qualities of the Rifle
shaft with the added benefit of an increased change in kick
points throughout a set of shafts. This means that the Rifle
Flighted has long irons with lower kicks than the Rifle
shaft long irons. This translates into a higher launch angle
for higher ball flight. The Rifle Flighted short irons have
higher kick points than the Rifle shaft and this tends to
reduce launch angle for a slightly lower ball flight.

Testimonials

"My shot making has
improved dramatically since switching to Rifle shafts.
It's a great feeling to know that the weight, balance and
feel are all going to be similar when going from one club
to another. As a club maker this just gives
me added confidence that this shaft will deliver time and
again for my customers. The rifle line gives me the
best quality and most flexibility when building a set of clubs to
have that perfect matched set." - Everardo
