the ACCRA iSeries Steel shaft is the first and only steel shaft offered by ACCRA as part of their i series line of shafts. All other iSeries shafts are carbon fiber. The ACCRA iSeries has a unique step pattern. It is stepped in the butt end and stepless from the mid section down. It also has a unique finish called Eco-Satin. It has the look of brushed chrome, but is in fact a coating that prevents rust and eliminates the chemicals required in the Nickel-Chrome plating process.
ACCRA primarily sells shaft to custom fitters. They are the house brand of Premium Golf Management out of Kingston Ontario. Premium golf Management and True Temper Sports partnered in 2016. That partnership made PGMC the distributor of True Temper, ACCRA and most recently Aerotech golf shafts to the professional golf club fitting and building community.
The ACCRA iSeries Steel iron shaft is a taper tip constant weight design available in 105, 115 and 125 gram models. There are 10 shafts in each weight enabling club fitters to adjust the set of the set by selecting the shafts needed for the set from this matrix.

I have seen many shafts over the years with a woven material placed in the butt of shafts. This is as an indication that shaft manufactures recognize the thin walls near the but of the shaft deform and oval under load. The ovaling of the shaft in this area can contribute to shot dispersion. The woven Kevlar® material use by Mitsubishi is the only material I have measured to date where I can see a measurable effect. Hoop deformation significantly dips in this section of the shaft. Reduced hoop deformation in the 1K weave is the same as the CK weave. Mitsubishi tells us the 1K material transmits more feel.
