Sacks Parente Golf – a technology-forward company with a portfolio including putters, grips and other golf-related accessories – makes its first foray into the world of golf club shafts with the Newton.
The Newton Motion ($250) is a carbon fiber driver shaft designed to promote straighter and longer shots with reduced effort. Its proprietary shaft design and construction features four essential technologies.
Its elongated bend profile allows it to bend over a longer span of its length, resulting in improved club speed. The added flexibility of the carbon fiber gives the impression the golfer doesn’t need to exert excessive force, resulting in a smoother swing.
The kinetic storage profile is the engine of Newton’s Motion, empowering the fibers to store more energy that is harnessed through elongated bend to significantly boost exit velocity.
The shaft’s Symmetry360 design ensures consistent flex, while its variable bend profile matches the bend and torque requirements of each flex to adapt to the unique demands of each individual swing. Golfers with slower swing speeds need more torque, while higher swing speeds need less torque.
“Countless golfers grapple with a common predicament – a rushed transition at the pinnacle of their swing that triggers an alarming signal in their minds, leaving them uneasy about their swing,” said Aki Yorihiro, SPG’s chief technology officer. “With the combination of our four technologies, we replace those signals with a clear message to the brain: Your swing is in harmony – trust the shaft.”
The Newton Motion shaft – which transforms color from green to purple when in motion – uses a simplified “dot system” ranging from one (most flexible) to six (stiffest) dots.
