With the Matrix Ozik TPHD franchise, Matrix created new levels
of structural strength and combined them with advancements in
spin control. "HD" refers to the hexdecagonal (16-sided)
internal platform on which the new designs are built. With the
stronger 16-cutt butt section, Matrix engineers were able to
better structure and strengthen the tip without adding overall
weight and, at time, even lowering balance points to better
match today's high MOI, low CG heads. The result is a stronger
tip-strength-to-weight ratio than found with any previous Matrix
Ozik.
The internal HD structure can be made more consistently uniform
than a circular design, further reducing the need for specific
orientation during installation.
In terms of performance, players should look forward to flatter,
more piercing Tour-type ball flights and a more stable feeling
than they have ever experienced with a Matrix Ozik shaft.
