NEWTON GOLF, a technology-forward golf company with a growing portfolio of golf products—including putters, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related accessories—announced today that Miguel Ángel Jiménez, one of the most accomplished players on the PGA TOUR champions, has officially signed with the brand and will play its shaft technology moving forward.
The multi-time Tour winner validated the partnership immediately by capturing a victory at the Principal Charity Classic using the Newton Fast Motion shaft, introduced in April 2025.
Jimenéz secured his 16th PGA TOUR Champions title with a birdie on the first sudden-death playoff hole, marking the second professional Tour win for the Newton Motion shaft brand. His powerful performance at the 6,833-yard Wakonda Club course in Des Moines, IA included a 310-yard longest drive and a 298-yard average—highlighting the shaft’s elite blend of stability, straightness and control. The win also follows Doug Barron’s 2024 major victory at the Regions Tradition, reinforcing Newton’s growing impact across professional tours.
One of the most decorated and charismatic figures in professional golf, Jiménez has tallied 44 global victories across the PGA TOUR Champions, DP World Tour and other international events. He is a four-time Ryder Cup team member for Europe and remains a dominant force on Tour in 2025, currently leading the PGA TOUR Champions money list.
“We couldn’t be more proud to congratulate Miguel on his win and to see the Newton Fast Motion shaft deliver on a major stage,” said Dr. Greg Campbell, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newton Golf. “When we set out to create this shaft, our goal was simple: develop technology that truly enhances a golfers’ ability to perform. Seeing world-class players like Miguel trust our shaft technology validates everything we’ve built—and it’s only the beginning. ”
The Fast Motion shaft has already proven itself on Tour, with eight professionals – who have a combined nine major championships in their careers – putting it into play across the PGA TOUR Champions and LPGA Tour. Overall, 40 professionals on these tours are gaming Newton Motion shafts.
Building on the four key innovations of the Newton Motion shaft—including Elongated Bend Profile, Kinetic Energy Storage, Symmetry 360 Construction, and Variable Bend Profile—the Newton Fast Motion series caters specifically to players who demand lighter shafts without compromising stability, straightness, or control.
Light Yet Stable: High-Modulus Toray Carbon Fibers
The Newton Fast Motion shafts are constructed with advanced high-modulus Toray carbon fibers, known for their superior strength-to- weight ratio. This design reduces shaft weight by approximately 10 grams compared to the Motion series, enabling faster swing speeds while maintaining tightdispersion, exceptional straightness, and stability. Players can feel the shaft load naturally during the swing. This makes it easier to time and sequence the motion for more consistent strikes.
“Roughly 30–40% of driver shafts in Regular and Stiff flexes fall under the 55-gram weight category, serving golfers who seek added swing speed without losing control,” added Dr. Greg Campbell, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Newton Golf. “This new line reflects our commitment to supporting the growing market segment of golfers seeking additional swing speed by utilizing lighter driver shafts.”
Distinctive Design: Red-to-Gold Finish That Changes Under Sunlight
The Newton Fast Motion series features a striking red-to-gold finish that shifts color under sunlight. Every shaft is proudly Made in the U.S.A. at Newton Golf’s St. Joseph, Missouri facility, enabling tight quality control and supporting growing demand from club fitters, retailers, and international distributors.
A Lighter Shaft Powered by Newton’s Four Core Technologies
- Elongated Bend Profile – Optimized for fairway wood lengths, the Fast Motion shaft flexes across its full length—from grip to tip— delivering improved clubhead speed.
- Kinetic Energy Storage Optimization – Proprietary construction enables efficient energy storage during the swing and controlled release at impact for a significant boost in exit velocity.
- Symmetry 360™ Construction – This design eliminates shaft spine, providing consistent flex regardless of clocking position— critical for adjustable drivers and fairway woods.
- Variable Bend Profile – Each flex is tuned based on swing speed rather than age or Slower swings benefit from greater flex and torque, while faster swings require the opposite.
Additionally, the Newton Fast Motion shaft replaces traditional flex labels (Ladies, Senior, Stiff, etc.) with Newton’s proprietary DOT system. Ranging from one to seven dots, the system enables precise matching of shaft performance to individual swing profiles—allowing fitters to fine-tune performance more intuitively than legacy flex categories.
With demand for lightweight performance shafts growing—particularly among club fitters and moderate swing speed players—Newton Golf believesthe Fast Motion series is well-positioned to drive continued growth and brand momentum throughout 2025 and beyond.
