ACCRA World Tour Series is introduced

Kingston Ontario, Premium Golf Management Co. (PGMC) announces the introduction of a new ACCRA premium golf shaft for 2010.
The ACCRA World Tour Series (WTS) began shipping this past week to international customers worldwide.
“The Accra WTS was designed using input from our fitters across the globe with special emphasis on the needs ad requirement of ACCRA’s Japanese partner Sporty Golf” stated Dave Makarucha (Partner – PGMC) “Listening to our fitters has always been a strength of PGMC/ACCRA, so developing this shaft for international markets, just made sense” continued Mr. Makarucha

ACCRA World Tour Series shafts are available in 50 gram, 60 gram, 70 gram, and 80 gram hybrid models using high modulus materials and a proven innovative design. Engineered to provide maximum ball speeds using “responsive tip technology” that Accra has been used in numerous previous shaft models.

“International markets generally require some different playing characteristics than domestic markets. The use of high modulus materials enables us to develop a lighter line of shafts while continuing to maintain the stability and feel that ACCRA has always been known for” stated Gawain Robertson (Partner –PGMC). “ ACCRA World Tour Series shafts combine the benefits of Classic Accra’s with some of the unique design features of the ACCRA AXIV line to make a powerful light weight line of shafts for all levels of golfers.” Continued Mr. Robertson

ACCRA WTS shafts are available in three distinct weights:
~50 grams for the player looking for a super light weight shaft that still maintains stability. Easy to get in the air, the Tour 50 is a versatile shaft for all levels of golfers.
~60 grams is available in all flexes and remains the most popular of the WTS shafts as it enables the best players to gain stability even with higher club head speeds, and the novice golfer with a great shaft that will reduce side spin with it’s torsionally stable design..
~70 grams for the stronger golfer requiring a shaft that will maintain stability even with the most powerful swings yet excellent as a fairway wood shaft in all flexes.
~ 80 gram Hybrid shaft perfectly designed to compliment the modern utility club combining distance, launch and spin to create distance off the tee and soft landing when used to approach a green.
“The ACCRA WTS series moves the ACCRA brand into a new segment of the market” stated Gawain Robertson (PGMC) “ the success of ACCRA DyMatch and previous models was used as inspiration to bring ACCRA to golfers around the globe using the very best club fitters in the world as our distribution” continued Mr. Robertson.
Available through professional club fitters, WTS allows all international golfers to experience a line of light weight shafts developed using super high modulus materials.

ACCRA golf shafts are used by more than 100 Tour players worldwide and continue to be a leader in the premium aftermarket shaft market. ACCRA shafts are available at certified ACCRA dealers and custom fit to ensure maximum performance.

Look for more players using ACCRA to continue the success that we have achieved on Tour this season” continued Mr. Biviano.
“One of the most important features of all ACCRA shafts is the tolerance levels that we are able to reach. On Tour we continually hear that testing ACCRA is so easy, as a player tests different heads they are confident that each shaft will react identically ” said Gawain Robertson (ACCRA- Partner). “We created ACCRA Tolerance technology as a feature in all ACCRA shafts, this ensures that all shafts are virtually identical in performance.” continued Mr. Robertson.
