I thought I was pretty familiar with Accra and don’t ever recall seeing them have a shaft only for fairways. I do recall something about the aerotech but I’m not a fan of the steelfiber in irons so they’ve never really been a brand ive done any research on All Accra FX Series shafts have a separate fairway wood (and hybrid) shaft series, generally I three different weights. For example, all of the FX 2.0 shafts include dedicated fairway wood shafts in 65, 75, and 85 gram models. This has been the case for many years, since Accra introduced their DyMatch shaft series, which was the predecessor to the FX shaft line. Quote DR - Callaway Paradym X, Newton Motion 4-Dot 4W - T.E.

Brian A Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 @RickyBobby_PR So after a solid range session the driver is set at B1 and the 6.5Tx shaft is definitely heavier and harder to get around but it is going much straighter with only about 10 yards loss. For some reason the rapsodo wasn’t picking my swings as much, I think the phone was in low power mode. Still hitting the ball high.

Not surprised you feel it to be heavier your smoke black 6.0 if it’s the 60g version weight 59g uncut and has a torque of 3.5, if it’s the 70g version then it’s same torque and 68g uncut. the green 6.5tx 60g version is 3.0 torque which doesn’t seem like a lot but for some can dramatically change the feel and weighs 65g uncut. If it’s the 70g version then it’s 2.8 and 74g. The harder to get around also not surprising especially if you have an over the top swing which based on your comment about spin is probably the case. Without seeing video of your swing with the black and again with the green it doesn’t sound like the green is helping you not make this ott move as you say the ball is still going high and that you have lost more yardage. here’s a pic comparing shaft profiles. The original hzrdus black and smoke black really didn’t change in overall profile. pX just softened the shaft a bit with the smoke version. You can see how much stiffer the tx is and how different is it from the non green rx version.

Your right arm folds well past 90* (first pic) and from this angle it’s hard to tell but you look to not have much hip rotation. Would need to see a direct down the live video to really tell. second pic shows how your entire body is used to start the swing which leads to the way over the top swing in the third pic that gets the clubhead way outside and causing you to hit down and across the ball as we see in the last 2 pics. This action is going to lead to high spin numbers and the left to right ball flight. The amount of that movement will depend on what your face and path are like.

dlow206 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I have an overswing addiction, but don't quite swing it back that far. Biggest thing for me is gaining body awareness. Just for body awareness purposes, film a shot where you feel like your backswing is for a half swing pitch shot. Bet you it ends up being at least a normal full backswing or even longer.

I didn’t realize how bad until you freeze frame the outside in This has been a good thread with some good info. Thanks for starting it. As for your swing, I am vey envious and jealous of your potential. As pointed out you do have too long of swing and a big OTT move. But you appear athletic enough, once you learn to correct those things, you are going to have massive distance and likely become a very good player. @RickyBobby_PR is correct, there isn't going to be a shaft that makes that much difference in the spin when you come OTT like that.
