Adams Blue driver hits USGA conforming list

Published

on

Adams Golf hasn’t released a new driver since the 2014 XTD, but it looks like a new driver from the company is on the way.

Adams Blue driver now appears on USGA’s list of conforming clubs. Our sources say it will have a low, rearward center of gravity that tends to work well for golfers seeking more forgiveness from a driver.

From the photo, it looks as though the Blue also has a channel on the sole, which we think may be used to boost ball speeds on shots hit across the face.

The driver is registered on USGA’s conforming list in both right-handed (9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees) and left-handed (9.5 and 10.5 degrees) options.

    If these clubs had TM or Titleist logos, all the bashers would screaming like Justin Beiber fans about how great they were and how they must have them.

    Hey all: Kinda funny to see all the comments about how ugly this new Adam driver is from just a black n white pic. that said I wounder if Adams now owned by TM/Adidas should stick to what they do well fairway woods hybrids and irons. How much longer TM keeps Adams around other than hybrids is any ones guess. Thanks

    If anyone wasn’t sure about how TMAG would let Adams die of insignificance outside of hybrids, here’s Exhibit A.

    Haha, we saw it from the rep the other day, it’s just a cheap box set type club for their new line. They are going way cheap. Haha “D” weight that’s funny!

      Maybe because it doesn’t really matter for this little blurb? Sorry your feelings got hurt.

    Looks like the “D” accent might also be some sort of weight, to give the driver a bit of draw bias. This combined with the low and back CG probably confirms that the Blue line will favor mid to higher handicap markets. Wonder if they’ll come out with a Driver and more woods for the Red line.

Accra launches new GX wood and hybrid shafts

Published

on

Accra Golf shafts have long been synonymous with fitting, and the new GX line of driver, fairway, and hybrid shafts continues that legacy.

Since 2004, Accra has been making high-end performance golf shafts that use the latest in materials and design philosophy. Their group of around 350 fitters are some of the best and most highly ranked in the world. While you might see other brands on professional tours more often, there are plenty of touring pros using Accra products and winning.

Accra’s new GX line of shafts is designed to offer a consistent and accurate shaft to a wide range of players. The GX line consists of 3 different shafts in driver, fairway, and hybrid designs.

The Accra GX shafts are designed for fitters to dial in golfers to the perfect shaft for their swing. Accra included a ton of technology into the GX line including their S3 profiling, DyMatch, and Constant Flex technology. DyMatch has been Accra’s quest to ensure that all shafts in a family feel and perform similar from driver to hybrid or iron shaft. Typically shafts get stiffer as they go up in weight, but Accra’s Constant Flex keeps the flex of the shafts consistent so fitters and golfers can dial in the weight that the golfer need without have to work around a stiffer or softer flex. Accra worked with Cool Clubs to build out its S3 Shaft Profiling system that not only allows a quick and easy EI profile of any shaft, it helps with quality control to ensure shafts come out of production exactly as they were designed.

Accra GX Red 300 Series

GX Red is lowest launching and spinning option in the GX line. Driver shafts have fewer options with just the 360 and 370 models that come in at 63 and 71 grams. The GX Red is made for faster swinging, or stronger, players who require a stiff (M4) or x-stiff (M5) shaft for their swing. Fairway and hybrid models are also on the higher weight side with the fairway clocking in at 80g and 90g for the hybrid. Accra designed this series with one of the stiffest tip sections of any Accra shaft in the current line, and while it is built to control launch and spin, the Red 300 Series will still offer that smooth feel.

Accra GX Green 100 Series

If your swing usually works best with mid-launch and spin, then the GX Green 200 series might be the right shaft for you. Offered in more weight and flex options, you can get a GX Green in 52 grams and all the way up to 70 grams in regular, stiff, and x-stiff flexes. GX Green will give the player a smooth feel and transition from the handle down to the tip section while still providing great stability and consistency. Accra also focused on the energy transfer of this shaft, and golfers can see some increased ball speed compared to other shafts.

Accra GX Blue 200 Series

While the GX Blue 100 Series is the highest launching and spinning option in the GX lineup, it will still give golfers the control and consistency they need. Starting off at 40g, the GX Blue series puts an emphasis on lighter weight to allow players to swing the club faster, promoting more distance. Accra touts the stability of the GX 140 Blue driver shaft by stating that some long driver competitors have put it in play to try and gain every MPH they can. Matching fairway and hybrid shafts are both on the lighter side at around 60g for the fairway and 65g for the hybrid depending on the flex.
