GRAPHICS:  The butt section will feature a 7.5 series of vertically streaming letters and characters that say "The Only One" in 12 or 13 different languages.  It looks like a cross between the Matrix movie computer screen and Japanese Samurai War Creed.  It's followed by our "MATRIX" logo and the franchise name "OZIK" and then the model name: TP-7, TP-7x, Altus, Medius, and Infra. 

To give you guys a heads-up on what we are doing so you can have an answers to OZIK questions: 

In the past, most companies have used Boron for 1 or 2 things:  to band-aid an area where the shaft was breaking or to stiffen the tip of a poor design.

For instance, one shaft company would make a shaft and call it the 42g whatever ... they'd send them out ... they'd all break.  They'd find the area where they were breaking and wrap maybe 3" of Boron horizontally at that point.  Send them out again, break in a different place, wrap another "patch" at that spot.  Eventually, 42g shafts ended up being 65g+.

Wrapping horizontally is called 90-degree...and it is done for "hoop strength." 

The other way boron is being used is most evident by a current, very popular shaft from a Japanese company.  This company uses 12-count Boron strands and runs these strands down the shaft.  This is very little boron given the boron-to-graphite ratio and serves to do little more than stiffen a basic shaft design.  These shafts feel stiffer because the boron is in strands with nothing to dampen vibration.  The vibration and "harsh" feeling is a sign that energy is being lost, not that the shaft is more "stable."

With OZIK TP-7 and TP-7x, we have advanced far past these ideas.  OZIK is a compilation of 4 materials 1) new G-MAT graphite from Korea, 2) ballistic Zylon from Japan, 3) Boron from the U.S., and 4) high modulus graphite. 

OZIK has 2 full length, 46", full wraps of 118-thread count Boron (remember, other "top" product = 12 count), so the Boron does run all 46" twice.  Our Boron wrapping technique is not straight vertical or horizontal as everyone before - but in a "hybrid crossply" method that is proprietary to us.  On top of these consecutive sheets of Boron, we wrap a 46" of ballistic Japanese zylon. 

What does it all do:  The Boron-crossply brings less resistance to torque.

People 'hate' high torque when the torque means over-twisting, energy loss, and improper contact.  Our full boron crossply prevents clubhead twisting at impact, it creating a lower "dynamic torque" than any other shaft ... and the shafts natural torque more efficiently used and impact.  OZIK's crossply design delivers 2 tons of "impact force" club-to-ball --- meaning near zero energy loss or loss of stability at impact.  This allows the player to receive the benefit of a graphite shaft while still bringing more on-center hits.

Zylon is just as important.  Zylon is the "strongest man-made fiber in the world."  Ballistic-grade Zylon is only available from Toyobo Japan.  Zylon's other main use is body armor.  Zylon, especially layed in our design, dramatically accelerates the rate of clubhead return.  It also serves to dampen/kill vibration off the Boron.  In the end, you have a faster recovering shaft that is more stable at impact, yet still feels smooth.

The OZIK "Silver" series; Altus, Medius, and Infra; are a separate design and were designed in conjunction with the FEA Laboratories at the University of California-Los Angeles.  We are currently patenting this process.  The Finite Element Analysis on these three shafts show them, in physical theory, to be the fastest recovering shafts ever made.  When orientated correctly, the OZIK "Silver" shafts are more actively biased toward recovery down the target line -- creating a "slingshot" effect.
