Senior Longdriver

The Clubhead: Bangomatic 460



Bang-O-Matic driver holds the record of world longest drive of 539 yards. It also holds the woman’s world long drive record of 362 yards, and junior’s world long drive record of 400 yards. Bang-O-Matic driver has won 6 world long drive championships since its debut in 2004.

Bang-O-Matic is the first driver featuring the Flow Alignment (FA) System technology design. Flow Alignment directs more energy from the club head to the ball with less power dispersion. Most modern-day drivers deliver only 78% of the proper directional energy toward the ball with 22% dispersion of energy. With the unique Flow Alignment System technology, the energy transfer rate is up to 94%. This contributes to a straighter and farther drive! USGA Conforming.

The Shaft:

Our senior longdrive shaft offers pure energy for pure power! The senior longdrive shaft is made for a player that has a smooth swing and long tempo. It is very easy to feel and work and senior golfers can benefit from the responsive tip section. Our shafts are roll-wrapped exclusively with premium aerospace-grade, unidirectional high tonnage carbon fiber and epoxy prepreg tape. These shafts are manufactured under the most stringent and exacting quality control measures in the golf shaft industry. Each step in the production of our senior longdrive shaft is carefully monitored and incorporates our proprietary “Pressure Plus System” process, which results in a shaft so consistent that we guarantee a frequency of +/- one cycle per minute and considered by many of the world’s best club makers and players to be the most consistent in the industry.

Our final in-plant quality control measures includes active analysis of selected shafts in an oscillation analysis testing device that rotates and flexes shafts to verify the cycles per minute (CPM) frequency, torque, ratio between the tip-to-butt (aspect ratio) characteristics.

"Because of the strength and consistency of our shafts, we are one of only two companies that have met Japan's highest standards of +/- one cycle."
