MikeyO Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Whilst playing this w/e I made the mistake of hitting a friend’s r7 tour. Am currently playing a 580xd tour 9.5 with a speeder 757 ‘s’ shaft and was reasonably happy. However I’ve been having problems losing balls high right, but had put it solely down to technique – tendancy to drop the right shoulder and get under and across it a little. I then however hit my friend’s r7 and fell in love. The spec was as follows: R7 tour 9.5 (2x2g & 2x7g weights) with accra 65 ‘s’ shaft (white with a grey top) tipped one inch. Compared to my 580 tour this was obviously quite a light weight set-up, but I found it far easier to control, far more forgiving, and flight & dispersion were good. I hit about 30 balls with it and then played 9 holes to check it wasn’t just the ’range effect’. So I’m thinking of switching to a similar set-up. However as Accra no longer make the shaft I haven’t been able to find one to buy, or get specs to look for equivalents. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions – maybe something by GD or a Diamana? Also if anyone could shed some light on why the performance is so different that would be useful. My swing speed with driver is around 111mph and I’m index 4. Also if anyone has an R7 Tour/tp head (in good condition) they’re looking to sell on let me know… Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjp1 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I believe that www.leaderboardgolf.com still has some of these available. Last check, these were $110. I've attached the link, but you might have to call to confirm stock. http://www.leaderboardgolf.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc? Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdChoi Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Accra still makes that shaft, its just been renamed the sc65. www.accragolf.com it's a great shaft, had it in my 510tp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
