ACCRA - ZTP - New Prototype

[Oaks]

Accra has a new Prototype that is out on tour - the TZP - I believe that this is the new version of the Tour Z Xtreme.

 

 

 

The early results out on tour as showing promise - with J.Day, Pat Perez, Goosen and Martin Kaymer as the early adaptors. There is also a stiffer tip version that Luke List and Tony Finau are testing as well. After the success that ACCRA saw with the RPG shafts and the current Tour Z line it is great to see them finally getting some play out on tour!

 

 

 

My understanding is that this is the new version of Tour Z Xtreme in the 200 and 400 series that should be coming out early next spring.

 

I haven't had a chance to hit this yet - but I have been told High Launch with LOW LOW Spin numbers.

 

My collection of ACCRA's

Accra makes just fantastic shafts. My youngest son a D1 college player uses a tour Z xtreme, so I m sure he will be anxious to test out the new version.

My oldest who plays on the Canadian Tour uses Accra Tour Concept.

I became hooked on their stuff years ago with the SE80 and the SE80* in my fairway woods. The feel.

 

I thouhgt that the original Tour Z line was a little boardy - but I truly believe that since the Concept line and RPG there shafts are off the charts. I have not hit the Tour Z Xtreme so I can't comment on that one, but I am looking forward to hitting this one!

Accra makes great stuff!

[Z1ggy16]

The guys at TXG seem to love ACCRA and seeing as who they have tons of experience with all the latest and greatest, I think that speaks volumes.

I really liked the Tour Z Extreme, had great results.

 

That font on the TZP though - Yikes. Not only does it look out of place, changing font so drastically is bad for brand recognition.

Remember this is just a prototype - but personally I like the font for ACCRA

Accra makes some great shafts - that's for sure.

[DTown3011]

They might make great shafts, but they can't decide on a logo can they? The newest version font is the worst of all of them IMO.

[pcs11]

I really like the font/graphics. Accra is so underrated. Their 100i iron shafts are the cats meow.

[ian-500]

Err....check my signature. Love Accra. Tested the Hybrex iron shaft a few years ago and it gave me great numbers. I now game the TiMesh shafts which are fantastic. I'll definitely give this new driver shaft a whirl when it comes out.

I'll pass that on to Gawain at the PGA Show! :)

So I hit 3 golf balls in my yard tonight. I don’t know distances - I only know what I felt. Wow

[dmeeksDC]

So if I did not have to buy the latest and greatest, which Accra shaft would its devotees recommend I try in a driver and fairways? Driver swing is 105, medium to quick tempo. I get a little confused by their lineup. Hear great things about them. Do not like boardy feeling shafts.

Can I be your son?

[fairwayhunter31]

Accra is as unique as it gets.

 

More pros are figuring it out week after week.

 

Pretty awesome.

[Oaks]

As I said last night - I hit 3 balls yesterday - I have no idea what the ball did, how it spun or anything - just want I felt.

 

Ball 1 - what was that...

Ball 2 - ball jumps off face high - lose sight into woods

Ball 3 - same as before but damn that felt smooth

 

OK - after my initial 3 balls - What the heck is this thing. It doesn’t feel like my RPG.

 

It feels smooth like Jon Snow's sword going through a White Walker.

It feels smooth like fresh egyptian cotton sheets

It feels smooth like pure Maple Syrup.

For longtime Accra players - dare I say - it feels Old Skool SE70/80 Smooth - that original ACCRA Feeling that you got.

 

To me it feels like it has a lively tip - the ball felt like it was exploding off of the club face.

 

What I can gather is that it feels like an Old SE on 2018 Technology. If it is anything like that it will have Super Low Torque, but maybe more lively like how the SE* was.

 

Nicer weather can't come soon enough...

I really like Accra but those graphics on the new TZP prototype look like a really bad tattoo.

I am similar and got fit for Accra FX2.0 250 m4 This thing has been nothing short of amazing. Rogue draw head for me, 44.5" D3

Thanks. That sounds line a nice build. Did you need any tip weighting or hot melt to achieve D3 with that weight shaft and length or was that just how it came out? I do like a mid-launch shaft and that looks like a nice profile. I would get fitted as they are too expensive to guess at it.

[jdm22]

Super smooth, very stable. Have the 465 in the driver and the 275 in #3. Legit.

How are you finding launches and what can you compare them to?

Yes, they had to weight the shaft with glue and tungsten powder. This fitting was at a club champion.

Any updates on your thoughts on the TZP?

Ummm... Do you plan to take this shaft to bed with you...There are limits.

 

Winter is coming.

[Oaks]

Honestly I feel awful - the weather here in the Northeast has been terrible and I haven't gotten a chance to play recently.

 

That being said - I installed mine untipped. Cam Champs was tipped 1.5"

How did you get it?

[b3b3]

Any updates on this with your testing?

[Oaks]

As I posted last week - unfortunately - the weekends here in NE have been terrible for golf (outside of family time), so I haven't had any recent rounds. Hopefully over Thanksgiving I will have one. That being said this shaft seems to be picking up steam on tour, especially with Cam Champ putting it into play. Look for more players soon.

[Smitty120]

Champ is back to his Fuji shaft this week.
