Published

on

After Paul Casey put the new Nike Vapor Fly driver in play at the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship last week, we spotted a Nike Vapor Fly 3+ 13-degree fairway wood in Hao Tong Li’s bag at the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Sawgrass (Dye’s Valley Course) on Tuesday.

    Time for Nike id to move into the clubs!
    I know there’s people out there that want these without having to ‘volt’ off to the paint shop before playing them.

    The colors are what our athletes are wearing in the olympics. That’s why they went with those colors

    These comments about color…wow. Does it perform or not. I love that they finally have some adjustability in the “speed” version of their fairway woods. I think that is probably the best new thing they’ve done here. Very good.

    For the love of God nike please go back to normal colors. I have owned almost ever version of your golf clubs, but I refuse to get on this volt bandwagon. Please do the right thing.

    That is a really pukey looking colour combination.

    I like the look of the new Fly line. Probably because blue and green are my favorite colors, especially when together. Volt is a little too yellow for my taste but I think it still works. I don’t mind color heads. I play the Covert and enjoy the red, although I like my buddies flat black 2.0 more. Really like the looks of Mizunos 850 driver as well. Just don’t really care for white heads. Different strokes

    I think they are just trying to shake things up a bit. Show that not all clubs have to be black or grey. Maybe attract the younger players.

    It’s like they’re trying NOT to sell clubs. Who isn’t going to get tired of that color scheme. Yes it looks cool at first. But it’ll get old. It’d be like if Levi’s only sold orange jeans for 2015……they’d lose money left and right. But nike thinks it’s a good idea. And you change jeans way more often than golf clubs.

      Then they will have a flat black version 3 months later after the early adopters are done buying.

      I think Nike is smarter than you, and they know what they’re doing.

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.
