Another Accra Success Story

Sean:
Interesting story I forgot to tell you. Remember the young girl with the sweet swing that was in the studio with Kay when you were there? She was having the darndest time with her hybrid keeping it straight. She was hitting her 4 hybrid low with a hook and couldn't get it airborne. I put her in a S1 70 M3 dymatch shaft with the wishon 331 5 hybrid. She hit 11 shots pure in the center of the face, and 140 yds carry. NOt bad for a 12 year old girl. She swings it 72 mph and has a nice long leverage. Her dad was like, WOW! We will be selling her new clubs in a short while. Dad is totally convinced. That's why having a pro and clubfitter work together is a win-win for both parties. TC
