Alpha RX 460 Carbon

The “Trampoline Effect”

The Alpha RX 460 driver utilizes a thin 15-3-3-3 Titanium Active Beta face that acts almost like a trampoline when the surface strikes the ball.  Looking at a club face in slow motion, you’ll see a large deformation of the face upon impact followed by a quick restoration to original dimensions, as if it were a slingshot.  This “Trampoline Effect” is achieved through Active Beta Face Technology (ABT) which minimizes the face thickness and maximizes momentum transfer.  The result?  Faster ball speeds and longer drives.

The latest development of the RX 460 driver has been the addition of the carbon crown.  Carbon is a very lightweight alloy with minimal mass and weight.  This allows for more discretionary weight to be added to the heel and toe, thereby increasing the driver’s resistance to twisting on off-center hits.  The uniqueness of the carbon crown can be seen from the driver’s top view with its dark magenta interlaced fibers that add to the frame strength and rigidity.

Technology Points

• 15-3-3-3 Titanium forged Active Beta face insert and a deep face design for maximum coefficient of restitution (maximum energy transfer ratio allowed by the USGA)

• Super lite Carbon crown for increased frame strength

• Large face area for dynamic loft and low backspin

• High rotational moment of inertia design allows for high forgiveness value, resistance to twisting on off center impacts, and straighter and longer shots

• Uniformly thin outer face for consistent flexibility across the face

• Specially grooved sole reduces friction and promotes faster swing speeds
