Accra Shogun Shafts?

[CTgamer]

Any one have any info or experience on these? Seems like a clear answer to Ventus but it’s been a while since I’ve demoed any Accra product

I'm reaching out to find about these!! I think their color scheme will throw people off for launch characteristics!!

I don't think they are an answer to the Ventus as the Blue is only available in superlight weight and flex. The green seems to be a full blown WB profile which has my attention.

These follow the old FX/new GX colourways. Blue is their traditionally softer, smoother design with more kick. The green is their "normal" profile that most people would fit into and the red would be for your more aggressive players. This comes with a caveat though, these profiles bring to mind traditional red, blue, and white bend profiles. However, Accra FX and GX do not follow these bend profiles, and I would assume the same for the Shogun. At least in the FX series, and perhaps they have changed it slightly for the GX/Shogun but I doubt it, they follow a more Tensei Orange profile, where it is medium in the handle, stiff in the mid section, and tapers off gradually towards a mid level tip section. They use this exact same profile for all 3 shafts but beef up the stiffness linearly across the shafts as you go up in stiffness (i.e. from blue to green to red) and in weight.

 

If you are after a more traditional Blue or White profile, you would need to look at the TZ series of shafts.

I guess by “answer to Ventus” I more meant based on the technology they’re highlighting. Reading the marketing release (and, sure, it’s marketing) it’s basically:

1. A super high modulus material to reduce ovaling (a la spread tow) 

2. A way of orienting the carbon layups to improve consistency (a la velocore).
Sound familiar?

 

“The new “ACCelaron MX” material (from Toray Japan) enhances feel, strength, and consistency throughout the shaft from the core through the outer layer. ACCeleron MX is an ultra lightweight 5K material incorporating a revolutionary composite (high modulus/high elasticity) material resulting in a rapid recovery (speed), negligible ovaling (stability) resulting in unparalleled performance.

ACCRA Shogun features “Tornado Material Stabilization”. This manufacturing method evenly distributes composite material strength around the circumference of the shaft, increasing consistency throughout. “TMS” technology stabilizes the behavior of the shaft at all swing speeds and results in the most consistent golf shaft the ACCRA has ever produced.”

Personally, I read it more as a second stab at their J-Spec series that has been dead for about 5-6 years now. Higher tolerance materials in a lighter weight package with increased handle and tip strength via exotic materials.

This is the FX/GX on steroids!!!
 

just built a Blue 42-M0. For Max10k

will report

Blue is their long drive focused shaft. 
Will test these in a couple weeks. Remind me to give some insight.

The shafts are different profiles. Have you looked at the website?

I have, yes. Which profiles are you referring to?

[Whodamon1]

The Red's are supposed to be similar to the RPG Series.  I hope!  Love the RPG's! Was disappointed to find out that they discontinued them.

The red is billed as stable throughout and the green is a whiteboard type profile.
