ACCRA introduces new wedge shaft

Kingston, Ontario – ACCRA premium golf shafts announces the introduction of a revolutionary new shaft designed to help golfers of all levels increase spin with wedges and decrease launch angle.
The hottest topic of conversation in grill rooms across the golfing universe seems to be centered around the new groove rules and how they will affect our ability to create spin.

This has shaft manufactures scrambling to find ways to maximize the spin rates of all wedges.
The fact is that a shaft does not create spin! However that shaft delivers the club head to the golf ball in a specific way. As a shaft design team, we considered a multitude of designs to enable all levels of golfers the ability to create an angle of attack that will maximize the spin potential.
Why graphite? The design capabilities of composite materials to manipulate the center of gravity (CG), zone flex, weight and playability is far more significant than other materials. The benefits of these design features include higher spin rates and lower launch!
The combination of a high CG, responsive tip section that is reinforced using super high modulus materials for stability enables the ACCRA SP wedge shaft to create “serious” spin!!

ACCRA premium graphite shafts are available through “Certified ACCRA Fitters”. For product information or to locate a Certified ACCRA Fitter near you, please visit www.accragolf.com. If you are interested in becoming a dealer, please contact PGMC at (888) 389-3149.
ACCRA Shafts are crafted using the highest modulus and most technologically advanced materials available.
ACCRA has engineers to “create the best” without any compromises. The recent success of ACCRA’s latest introduction gives remarkable credibility to the technologies utilized in all ACCRA shafts. All ACCRA trademarks are owned by PGMC.

Known for his incredible short game and accuracy off the tee, his 285+ yard average off the tee (good for 24th in the event) enabled him to take full advantage of his superior iron game.
