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

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.

Thanks Brian, have sent them an email.

Accra still makes that shaft, its just been renamed the sc65. www.accragolf.com it's a great shaft, had it in my 510tp.

i have a 10.5 r7 tp and it came fitted with 757 speeder but i found it too boardy = no feel

tried super six ///aldila nvs // aldila nv

graffalloy prolaunch

but finally settled on a graffalloy blue in reg

good distance = good feel = plus feels in control
