umkcgolf Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I have a Titleist 983 Tour Issue, and I want to put a UST Accra SC 75 in it, it's an M4 flex, and I want it to play as stiff as possible without being too boardy. Any suggestions on how much to tip it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeItHi Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 You should get the Accra dealer to fit you properly with your swingspeed. M4 flex on Titleist head will play around x-flex (M5), the Accra SC models are very soft & responsive tip and I don't think these shafts can/could feel boardy.

EdChoi Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Teeit Hi when you say the m4 will play to a m5 in a titleist head, is that if it is full inserted or what? thanks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrgolf Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Teeit Hi when you say the m4 will play to a m5 in a titleist head, is that if it is full inserted or what? thanks :-) Hi Ed, Just thought I'd jump in, basically any shaft will play stiffer when fully inserted into a Titleist head and our shafts are no different. It is similar to tipping the shaft 1 1/2". The Tour players tell us that the M4 fully inserted into a Titleist still "feels" a little softer than a M5 straight in, but the specs will end up being somewhat similar. If your trying to get "as stiff as possible" without going to a M5, the full insertion is the way to go, but I'd check with a clubfitter first, who knows your swing. With graphite there are so many variables that affect the "feel" it's always a good idea to try it first. But again, I agree with TeeitHi, Accra will never be accused of feeling "boardy" :cool: Good luck, GBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowpro Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 umkc, i would tip the shaft any before installation and to make it play firmer - install it all the way in... you will have to sand off a little and that plus the bore depth will make the shaft play about a half flex higher... "even though this shaft may feel flippy-it holds up very well and plays very tight" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
