TTLam Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Please post reviews of this. I'm pretty interested in trying this shaft out. Super low torque though. Very very interesting.. Thanks.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlauber Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Luckily, if you break it, you're only out a few bucks. Cheap shaft. (Just kidding.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Se80 freq's out at 280 in my R7 tour. I love how tip stif the shaft is. The only downer is that I really, really need to stay on it all 18 holes to enjoy the benefits of it.

ihatebeinglefty Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I got my Accra SE-80 M5 in my R7 TP tour. I used to have a 757 XX FLex which was about 285 CPM. This Accra is at 302 CPM which scared me because thats considerably stiffer than my old speeder. I was worried that I wouldnt be able to stay on it for all 18 holes. Because of the incredibly low torque, the shaft kicks perfectly into place and its consistency is unmatched. Anyone that swings 120 or more should try one, at least the M4 flex. Its not like a speeder which is now old technology. The shaft is soft at the tip so the ball can be moved. The only catch is the price but its worth it.

robbie Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 first of all the shaft does not feel boardy at all, but you need to maintain a good tempo and accelerate throughout the swing, this shaft is good for guys who use their entire body for a swing, if you are all arms and wrist forget it !!!! this shaft also needs to be powered, you cannot expect the shaft to do the work for you, the shaft is extremely good in windy conditions and will give you tons of roll, again the shaft is definitely not boardy but it definitely does not kick !!! you get what you put in !!!!

Looks like you got to be at your swing from the get go my swing speed is pretty slow, i like to swing between 105-110 which is about 80% of my swing, if i step on it, im between 115-120max !!!

mike0814 Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 105-110 and you're hitting the m5 ... or is it the m4? any comparisons of this one with a d03, also a very stiff (but non-boardy) 1.5 torque shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdieboy831 Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 anyone have one in a 983 K because titleist did not aprove it and i was just wondering how it played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nietzscheman Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I am using the shaft in my NAK 380cc head. My swing speed with driver is around 115-118 and I am using the M4 flex. Bought it from Ken's Custom Clubs. He SST Pured it and got the frequency perfect from the guys at Hotstix here in AZ where I got on the launch monitor. I think the frequency is around 280 CPM's @ 44.5 inch length. The shaft has a very active tip that really has a great feel, but the low torque makes the ball go extremely straight. My misses are pushes right, but they go straight and don't curve farther right. Also, I can't hook it, which is awesome for me. I really want to buy a new NAK 460 head with this shaft. I think it will be even better! Definitely a better shaft than my old Speeder 757. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_noonan Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 BEST SHAFT EVER MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bar none this has got to be the truest and most reliable and consitant shaft I have ever hit. I have it in an M4 tipped 3/4". It is stiff but smooth long but straght but easy to work. This is for me as big of a change as the prov from the professional was = 757 Speeder to SE 80. Absolutly perfect, but you do need to have a certain type of swing for it to work from what I hear. Body swing and good tempo, not arms and hand swings that are quick. Thats my $.02 Danny Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1thunder Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 If one is swinging 114-117 what flex would you recommend???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_noonan Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Depends on your swing approach. If you are a tempo player and have a smooth transition M4 untipped hands down. If you are a "hitter" M4 tipped or maybe even the M5, the M5 is a very stiff shaft might be a little bit of a strech. I use the M4 tipped 3/4", and I am a tempo player with a ss of 122, max 129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrgolf Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I got my Accra SE-80 M5 in my R7 TP tour.  I used to have a 757 XX FLex which was about 285 CPM.  This Accra is at 302 CPM which scared me because thats considerably stiffer than my old speeder.  I was worried that I wouldnt be able to stay on it for all 18 holes.  Because of the incredibly low torque, the shaft kicks perfectly into place and its consistency is unmatched. Anyone that swings 120 or more should try one, at least the M4 flex.  Its not like a speeder which is now old technology.  The shaft is soft at  the tip so the ball can be moved. The only catch is the price but its worth it. Guys, Remember, a cpm reading is basically butt stiffness, unless your profiling the shaft in numerous locations. The SE (and all Accras to different extents) has a stiff butt and mid section combined with the active tip section. The cool thing about this shaft is the 1.5 torque/Active tip combo! The Speeder is a great shaft, but a very different animal....stiffer tip section, higher torque, and softer mid and butt sections. Good luck!

TeeItHi Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 anyone play this shaft in a m5 flex, it freqs out at over 300 and has a torque of 1.5 !!!!! i have one in a R7 that i just got in today, im wondering if it is even worth taking to the golf course ??!!??? At first I thought you're talking about the frequency of the shaft in raw not build into your r7 cause this reminded me of my tour irod 95 x-flex shaft before i installed it in my ss-05 i had it frequencied raw and it came out to be over 320cpm but after i installed it and had it frequency at 42" it came out to be 275cpm. i'm assuming that the frequency result you have is with the club to finish length? Maybe the anylizer is not calibrated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr3putt Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I have an M4 tipped 1/2" in a R580xd. Finally had a little warm weather today, 40 and windy !! It took me about 6 holes to get used to it, but after that....YIKES !!! I hit the crap out of it, very smooth, but I agree with Robbie, no kick, it has to be swung. Unless you're a very good ball striker stick with the SC series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davevandyk Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I am still interested to hear from anybody who has it in a 983K or E. I just got a 983K Tour driver and was thinking of putting it in. I have the SC 65X in my TM R7. Let me know if you have tried the combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
