The ACCRA iCWT iron shafts are unique. They are constant weight sets with 4″ parallel tips. A golf club builder, by cutting away some of the tip, can created the stiffness they want. The ACCRA iCWT is available in three weights, 75g, 95g and 115g.

ACCRA Tour Z RPG HBP & LBP Driver Shafts Review

High Balance and Low Balance designs compliment the ACCRA Tour Z shaft, released in 2017. High modulus. low resin prepreg results in low wall thickness, enhancing feedback. Uniform taper provides maximum energy transfer down the shaft. A woven prepreg from Toray runs down the length of the shaft, resulting in a uniform torque profile down the shaft. ACCRA tells us this creates the lowest resin to fiber ratio of any shaft they have ever designed. The shafts are made in a Japanese and the quality and conformity across weights and flex designations is as good as I have seen. Lets explore the EI Profile flex distribution of these shafts and look at how the movement of balance point changes a shaft.

ACCRA iSERIES Steel Iron Shaft Review

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.

ACCRA shafts are sold exclusively to custom club fitters and builders. The TZ models are an evolution of the Tour Z series. The TZ5 and TZ6 incorporate the latest high modulus materials. High modulus materials have a muted feel. Solid strikes deliver a lower frequency thud to your hands in contrast to the higher frequency click typical of lower density pre-preg.

ACCRA Tour Z RPG 400 Golf Shaft Review

By Russ Ryden, Fit2Score, A Dallas Fort Worth Club Fitter & Club Maker

ACCRA added a new profile to the Tour Z RPG in 2018. The Tour Z RPG is a lower launch version of the Tour Z RPG 300 reviewed last year. This video, shot at ACCRA day at the PGA merchandise has Ken Thompson of ACCRA explaining the RPG shafts to the club fitters gathered there.

ACCRA has moved some of their manufacturing to a Japanese foundry. The Tour Z RPG is a made in Japan product. It uses high modulus materials with the lowest resin content of any ACCRA shaft. A new material with a quad weave runs the entire length of the shaft. The 4 Tour Z RPG 400 shafts have consistent bend profiles. Fitters can work to find your proper weight and flex knowing each of these shaft have exactly the same bend properties. The radial consistency was 99.3% with a 0.5% standard deviation. They are round.
