NEWTON GOLF Launches Fast Motion Shaft: A New Lightweight Shaft Designed for Distance and Control

CAMARILLO, CA – NEWTON GOLF Company, a technology-forward golf company with a growing portfolio of golf products—including putters, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related accessories—announces the launch of its newest shaft family, Newton Fast Motion, now available for purchase at a suggested retail price of $325. The Newton Fast Motion is a lighter, Tour-proven shaft engineered to deliver exceptional precision and enhanced swing speed for golfers seeking top-tier performance. 

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. 

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, more than 30 professionals on these tours are gaming Newton Motion shafts, with Newton Golf trusted by many of the game’s top players.

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 tight dispersion, exceptional straightness, and stability. Players can feel the shaft load naturally during the swing, making it easier to time and sequence the motion for more consistent strikes. 

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 gender. 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 believes the Fast Motion series is well-positioned to drive continued growth and brand momentum throughout 2025 and beyond.

TaylorMade Golf Announces Custom Ordering For ROS-PROTO Irons

CARLSBAD, CA – RORSPROTO irons will be available to order on www.taylormadegolf.com starting at $1499.99 USD. Consumers can build Rory’s major championship winning irons to their own spec through TaylorMade’s custom ordering platform.

Since becoming part of Team TaylorMade in 2017, Rory McIlroy has played a single set of irons. In that span, he’s used his RORS∙PROTO irons to capture 18 PGA Tour wins, including two Tour Championships, and a career Grand Slam.

RORS∙PROTO irons take on a small, sleek profile that offers unmatched feel and workability. Made of 1025 carbon steel, they undergo a multi-step forging process to ensure precise shaping for further enhanced feel and responsiveness. A horizontally milled channel in the cavity separates mass on the vertical axis for precise inertia and trajectory control.

These irons will be unique and include FORGED on the hosel with 4 colored dots underneath to represent each of the Major Championships.

Inspired by P·730 irons, the RORS∙PROTO 7-iron and 8-iron have a thinner top line, which is Rory’s visual preference. Instead of the MX9 grooves found in P·730, RORS∙PROTO irons have TW2 grooves which are used in P·7TW irons.

Casa de Campo Resort & Villas Announces Exciting Summer Golf Getaway

LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic – Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – home to the Caribbean’s premier, luxury golf experiences, including its iconic Teeth of the Dog ranked No. 20 in Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Courses in the World” – is offering an exciting summer golf stay-and-play package perfect for couples, families and group vacations to have tons of fun in paradise.

The “Unlimited Golf” package starts at $699 (per room, per night). With Pete Dye’s celebrated Teeth of the Dog closed for restoration until December, Casa de Campo’s two additional outstanding layouts are absolute “must-plays.” Resort guests can tee it up to their heart’s content for unlimited play on two renowned Dye-designed gems: Dye Fore (27 holes) and The Links (18). All golf rounds are based on availability and include play on arrival and departure days.

The offer includes deluxe accommodations in the resort’s guestrooms, Premier Suites or villas, full breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner at resort signature restaurants, use of a four-passenger golf cart to travel throughout the 7,000-acre gated property, unlimited horseback riding, use of the property’s tennis courts, one round of 25 cartridges of clay shooting at the 245-acre Shooting Club, non-motorized water sports, family program activities and use of the resort’s fitness center.

Often referred to as the most underrated course in the Caribbean, Dye Fore has 27 dramatic holes located on the scenic high ground of the property and features three distinct nines. The “Chavon” nine offers cliffside holes towering 300 feet above the Chavon River below; the “Marina” nine affords spellbinding views of the Caribbean Sea on the horizon; and the “Lagos” nine is artfully crafted across tumultuous terrain with a premium placed on shotmaking.

The Links showcases the artistry of Dye’s genius. This 18 weaves through the verdant resort grounds and is ideal for golfers of all abilities. The course’s wide fairways give way to challenging green complexes highlighted by tricky, undulating putting surfaces. The Links is considered as one of the most playable courses Dye designed in his heralded career.

The resort’s world-class Golf Learning Center is a “must visit” when on property. Highlighted by Trackman and BODITRAK technology, it features two indoor hitting bays for rapid game improvement, year-round training, individual and group golf lessons and schools, and expert club-fitting and repair. Residing on 21 acres of “pure grass,” the PGA Tour-quality facility also showcases practice greens for honing putting, chipping and pitching skills as well as unlimited use of the pristine outdoor range for full shots. On-course instruction is also available.
