GolfSpy Barbajo 9,313 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 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!! 3 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: Sub 70 639D - 9.5; Launcher HB Turbo; ST 190 FW Wood: Tour Edge EXS 220 - 15*; ST 180 14* Hybrids: PXG 0311 22 Utility Irons: Staff Model Utilities 18, 21, 24*; Lynx VT Stinger - 16* Irons:; D7 Forged; PTx Pro, VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Progressives (circa 1993) Wedges: CBX -2, Riviera 52-56-60; Staff Model Putter: Willamette, BB8, Baby Ben Ball: Tour B X (2020); Z-STAR XV Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to post Share on other sites

evershady 877 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 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.
