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.
