The RLM Basalt Wood Shaft, new for 2007 from SMT Golf!

The RLM or Reactive Linear Motion Shafts, utilizing Long Fiber Technology, are made to
a constant taper from butt to tip. They require very little sanding to produce and the feel
of a lively tip is very much favored by amateur golfers of all levels.

RLM Shafts have approximately 95% of their graphite fibers still intact - a full 30% more
than a typical graphite shaft. What this means is that the energy you deliver to the ball
through that shaft is deployed through actual graphite fibers, instead of epoxy resins.
The feel that you receive back from impact is also brought to you through the same full
strand graphite fibers for more feel and control.

The Basalt comes in a Black to Graphite Grey Fade in a rich satin finish.

How will this shaft play and who is it for? From Mike Tait, President, SMT Golf

BASALT - This shaft is the most universal of the three. In my opinion, the perfect blend
between weight and torque. This is my personal favorite of the three RLM shafts. The
Darkest of charcoal color fades to slightly lighter graphire grey, and all done in a rich
satin finish. While it seems as if this shaft might be a little tight, I assure you it is perfect
for the majority of golfers. Drivers will find the ball to get up in the air easier for more
distance than the Argent shaft, and golfers of all skill levels and swingspeeds will find
the Basalt will match their needs. You will not be disappointed in this one.
