There is a lot of confusion around what actually is “quality” and “high tolerance” in golf shafts. Mitsubishi’s Vanquish VV (green) threads the needle on this issue, here is why…

There are several methods to form carbon fiber golf shafts, let’s use these main 3 as example: table rolling, filament winding, and more recently TPT’s ribbon winding technique. 

Despite their differences, what remains the same is that everyone thinks their own method produces the absolute best quality & tolerances… So how do we decipher this marketing as teachers, fitters and consumers???

The Graphite Design Tour AD is another in a long line of Graphite Design shafts with a close match to the AD DI and the many, many shafts that resemble that very popular profile. There is a new Torayca fiber in the tip section and a higher balance that many previous versions of this profile.

ACCRA products are primarily distributed through certified club fitters, ensuring every player receives a shaft optimized for their swing. They are sold through Performance Fitting Centers (PFC) which are expected to fit with launch monitors, possess an array of interchangable fitting shafts and have the ability and tools to build clubs. We are told the Tour Green is a medium spin, mid launch shaft designed for moderate tempo seings.

Women and girls are the primary driver of growth in golf. They now represent 28% of on-course golfers in the US. They represent 52 to 60 percent of golf’s net growth since 2019. And they stay for more than an hour after their round, priortizing time at the patio, bar and restaurant. It’s not suprising that the golf gear manufacturers are responding with product focused on this demographic.
