TESTERS WANTED!!  - APPLY NOW!!!

 

We're hitting the sweet spot of summer - are you hitting the ball as far as you'd like? Do you think a different shaft would make a difference?

 

Well, that's what we at MGS would like to know, and we'd like 9 MGS loyalists to help us find out. And specifically we'd like to know if a new ACCRA Fx Series shaft will give you a few extra yards while keeping the ball in the short grass.  The FX Series is new this year, and features 3 different types of shaft for 3 different types of player.

Here's the skinny, according to ACCRA: 

 

Fx 100: Promotes higher initial launch with controlled spin.  For those wanting to increase launch angle  with a super light-weight shaft. 

 

Fx 200: Promotes mid initial launch with controlled spin. For those need some tip stability, but with a kick.

 

Fx 300: Promotes lower initial launch with controlled spin. For those needing more tip stability, but also with a kick.

 

 

(We will NOT be testing the Fx 400 shaft at this time)

 

HOW TO ENTER: 

 

1. You MUST be an MGS Forum Member to apply. If you aren't, sign up HERE.

2. List your current driver shaft, flex and swing speed.

3. You MUST post a picture of your current driver shaft!

4. You MUST be able to install your own shaft, or have it done for you. No adapters are included. 

5. Open to avid golfers in the Continental US and Canada!

 

Based on your information, we'll work with ACCRA to get you into one of the three Fx Series shafts.

We'll announce the selected testers the week of July 20th.

 

For more information, check out the ACCRA website.

 

Good luck!!

Current shaft that I am playing is a tour issue UST Mamiya Elements Earth8f4 (stiff flex) tipped to play like an X flex. My swing speed is between 100-110 on a regular basis. I am able to install myself and would love a shot at one of these shafts! Thanks for your time

I currently play a Grafalloy Bi-matrix 80 Gram X-flex in a Ping Anser 8.5

Swing speed of 125+

 

I tend to still hit my drives very high even when I set the driver to 8 which is where I normally have it, would like a lower ball flight. 

 

I did the install of this shaft from the stock one so I can handle doing that again.

I installed the Pro Launch Blue 55s in my Bang driver head. My swing speed is between 95-100 and I average around 260-280 yards with my tee shots. I would like to try the ACCRA FX 200.

ACCRA Fx series driver shaft tester application is as follows:

 

Current driver:  PING G30 9 degree

Current shaft flex:  stiff

Swing speed: 100-102 mph

 

Certainly could use a few extra yards; the Fx 200 or Fx 300 would be a most desired choice to test.  Thank you for the opportunity.

 

All the best,

Perry

 

Attached is the pic of my standard Tour 65 gram stiff shaft.

If I get the chance to hit this shaft you can just ship it down the road to Brampton with my KBS C-Taper shaft order im putting in next week :)

 

Current Driver:  Big Birtha Alpha '14

Shaft Flex:  X-Stiff, Tipped 0.5" playing at 44.75"

Swing Speed: 112mph

 

I do all my own club work and can test on Foresight.  

 

Spin rates hover around the 2000rpm and launch 12-13 deg carry 285ish with lots of roll out.  

 

self educated in shaft performance and understand how weight/flex/length and torque play a roll.

 

Thanks again for the opportunity

 

Regards

I am playing the Ping G30 SF TEC with the tour 65 shaft stiff flex. I have a swing speed of 105 mph and a new tip ready and waiting for the new shaft. Prefer a low launch ball flight. I am able to install the shaft myself.

Driver: Big Bertha Alpha (the first one)

 

Shafts: Mitsubishi Fubuki K 60 - Stiff and Aldila Tour Green 65 (Stiff). I'm currently experimenting and trying to dial in my driver, so having a 3rd one to add to the party and test would be great.

 

I can get my own Callaway adapter and have it installed. I can also get access to Flightscope.

 

Swing speed: 95-98 mph

Very cool opportunity! Thanks Accra and MGS! Haven't had an Accra shaft in many years, last one was an SE80 (I believe) so however many years that was!

 

Current driver is a Ping G30 LS Tec 9* (-1* setting) with the Ping Tour 65 X-Stiff shaft. In flip flops at the PGASS I was at 118 mph so you can put me in the 115-120 range as well. I have multiple G30 adapters that I could install an Accra shaft in.

My current driver is a Callaway Razr Fit in 8.5 at stock settings. The current Shaft is the Graphite Design Tour AD DI-6 S. My average driver swing speed is 115 mp/h. There is a full repair shop at the club where I work and I do all of the club work. Have tried ACCRA shafts in the past and enjoyed them, would love the opportunity to try them again. 

Thanks

Current Driver Shaft: Graphite Design YS-SIX Reloaded X 45"


Swing Speed: 98-106mph


 


I do my own club work and have an extra sleeve ready to test in my Fly-Z driver.


 


For fitting purposes, I'm usually torn between an S and X flex UST shaft. I still play a UST Proforce 65 Stiff in my Callaway Hawkeye 2 wood (the original ti/tungsten mini driver) which has not been out done in well over a decade. Loved the UST V2 MOI X shaft I had in my previous driver (Weight 73g, Torq 3.2, Butt Stiffness 300, Mid Stiffness 8.5, Tip Stiffness 30). For better or worse, I play an over the top pull and can describe my swing in more detail but I don't want to scare people away from the site.
