KINETIXx” IMRT loaded shaft technologies are the worlds only golf club shafts that combine filament winding and table rolling construction methods with a vacuum curing process making Paderson KINETIXx loaded shafts. the most advanced, multi-structure, multi-material, precision tailored high performance composite shafts in the world!
KINETIXx IMRT = Visible fiber performance technology unlike any other shaft!
The tailored coupling of kevlar and 3K micro carbon fibers, filament wound over precisely located high modulus filament wound and or table rolled flag core sections, in select portions of every KINETIXx IMRT loaded shaft, demonstrate visible kite and dart quadrilateral patterns. Producing a visible rhombus web structure that’s precisely tuned for vibration suppression, vibration control, EI (Energy Inertia), torque, feel and most important, kinetic energy transfer to the clubhead for the moment of impact creating a visible fiber chain that’s comparable to a lightning rod of conductivity.
KINETIXx IMRT shafts, are the worlds only filament wound kevlar golf shaft technology family available for all clubs metal woods and irons. The green or blue kevlar and 3K woven chain of fibers visible in all Paderson KINETIXx IMRT branded shafts have 20x the elastic strength of steel!
The fiber revolution has arrived!
PADERSON® is also one of only a few golf shaft manufacturers to produce a significant portion of its finished products with materials like structural fabrics and prepreg composites manufactured internally at PADERSON®.
PADERSON® today offers a breadth and depth of products and services unmatched in the golf industry. From our state of the art worldwide manufacturing headquarters located in Taichung Taiwan, R.O.C., we manufacture the full spectrum of our advanced materials – this includes everything from carbon fiber and reinforcement fabrics to pre-impregnated materials tailored for use in the robust array of composite products we manufacture.
PADERSON® Composite USA functions as the US, International and Asia OEM and premium Aftermarket Sales, Distribution/Fulfillment and Marketing Headquarters of PADERSON®.
PADERSON® USA also plays an integral role in support of PADERSON® R&T and R&D divisions specific to the premium composite materials, structures and products PADERSON® manufactures.
PADERSON® Palm Desert also serves as the primary product test center for all PADERSON® OEM and premium aftermarket products.
Designed for Performance.Advanced Computer Aided Design allows us to specially construct our internally manufactured pre-preg material in a way that maximizes each shaft design and produces the specific attributes and performance characteristics we seek to create in our shafts.
Feel. Distance. Control.Our proprietary T-15 resin possesses unique vibration dampening properties that produce improved “feel” in all our shafts. Our exclusive T-15 helps in allowing power and energy to be fully transferred to the shaft and permits maximum release of that power through impact. T-15 is part of what makes Talamonti Shafts some of the smoothest “loading” and “unloading” shafts in the business.
Painstakingly Engineered and ManufacturedAll Talamonti Shafts are engineered with specific players and their respective performance needs in mind. This image shows our HTS Hybrid Series Shafts. Whether 70 gram, 85 gram, or 100 gram, each weight and flex has been engineered and manufactured to follow a unique “Parallel EI Profile” designed for this particular model and it’s predetermined performance characteristics throughout the shafts’ length. From tip to butt, each shaft in the model exhibits a similar bend profile – with intentional adjustments by weight and flex. As the HTS model moves up in weight and flex, the stiffer its EI Profile becomes, ensuring that players fitting into the various weights and flexes are playing a shaft that conforms to the original design, while producing the exact performance results demanded of that player.
Next, a specific EI Channel is created for each weight and each flex within a model reflecting the USL (upper stiffness limit) and LSL (lower stiffness limit) that each shaft is expected to fall within at various points along the shaft’s length during manufacturing. Here, seven Light-55 shafts can be seen in regular flex in both their raw and cosmetic states (and obviously, exhibiting a much different bend profile than the HTS Series Hybrids pictured above) from mid-section to butt and their position within the unique EI Channel. As you can see, manufacturing consistency is an important part of our process and resides in the very DNA of every shaft we sell.
We began by creating a problem statement to give our team a focused goal of what a successful design consisted of for this project and to provide guidance.
The density of air is known. The drag coefficient is based on a geometrical assumption and therefore also a known constant of 1.17. Since the density of air and the drag coefficient are intrinsically predetermined, we wanted to be very precise with the projected area. Using the maximum allowable face dimensions, we arrived at an area of 0.0070939047m2. It is important to have this many decimal places, as it is a multiplier of the entire equation. We also decided on a club velocity of an average amateur golfer (85mph). This is an arbitrary number as long as we use this value for all testing, both physical and computational.
This value served two purposes. It gave us a reference number allowing us to be certain that our simulations were accurate. 7.21 Newtons also served as a target maximum. Since the projected area was exaggerated our drag values at 85mph should fall below this mark. We were pleased when our simulations of our most aerodynamic design (now the GRENADE) was returning drag values of just above 5 N, well below our calculated maximum of 7.21 N
