Newton Golf shaft powers Guinness World Record 235.1 mph fastest golf drive
AI Summary
Newton Golf (NWTG) said long-drive pro Thomas Fliniks set a Guinness World Record for the fastest recorded golf drive — 235.1 mph — using the company's Fast Motion 3-dot shaft at a sanctioned event in Australia. The company says the Fast Motion (launched April 2025) is gaining pro adoption and helped drive record net sales of $8.1M in 2025 (+136% YoY), though expansion efforts remain early and no commercial supply agreements have been finalized.
Positives
- Fast Motion shaft used to set Guinness World Record for fastest recorded golf drive (235.1 mph).
- Reported record net sales of $8.1M in 2025, up 136% year-over-year.
- Newton shafts are in play with 60+ professional golfers across PGA, LPGA, PGA Champions and Korn Ferry Tours.
Negatives
- Product expansion and evaluations are early stage and no commercial supply agreements have been finalized.
- Record was set by a long-drive specialist and is from a small subgroup (fewer than 15 golfers have recorded speeds >225 mph), so it may not reflect typical tour player performance.
