Roddio Drive

We asked our Equipment Editor Daniel Owen for a sneak peak at something new on the golf scene. We were expecting 25 words on a ball with no dimples but he's really trumped himself with a breakdown of the latest shafts. He really knows his stuff that boy.

"As the 'Knig of Culbs', I get really excited about the geeky things that other golfer's wouldn't. One of those things is driver shafts. I recently got fitted into one of these new Roddio models.


Made in Japan by Daiwa, these boy's really understand graphite from their work with fishing rods. The Roddio shafts feature  Pentacross which is a method of weaving carbon in a four directional axis, which minimises vibration's from the driver.

They also reduce side-spin, which is great if like me you're a little wayward. There's two ranges the BA, and WA, which stands for body action and wrist action, depending on how you deliver the club to the ball. More importantly than any of the techy details, they look amazing. The WA line features a white top half and a coloured underside, while the BA has a chrome top. Check out www.roddio.co.uk for more details soon."
