KINETIXX Introduces First Golf Shafts Engineered with Fully Homogeneous Deployment of Kevlar Technology

KINETIXX Golf today announced the launch of SyrgeX and FlexurX, two next-generation wood shaft platforms built around Kevlar® EXO™, the most significant advancement in aramid fiber technology in more than 50 years.

KINETIXX is the only golf shaft manufacturer with exclusive access to Kevlar® EXO™, pairing this breakthrough material with its utility-patented hybrid construction to deliver unprecedented strength, consistency, energy transfer, and feel. Beyond exclusive access, KINETIXX uniquely owns and controls the design, production, and commercialization of the proprietary unidirectional prepreg architectures used in these shafts, manufacturing the material itself rather than sourcing it externally. This vertically integrated capability allows KINETIXX to engineer performance at the material, fiber, and structural levels simultaneously, a feat no other golf shaft manufacturer can replicate.
