Kingston, Ontario – ACCRA premium golf shafts continued it’s winning ways with a big playoff victory at the 2008 Stanford St. Jude Championship. The 1997 Open Champion and now 12 time PGA Tour winner overcame a three man playoff to record his first victory of 2008. This Texas native has now vaulted himself into 3rd place in the season long FedEx Cup standings using a Nike Sumo driver custom fit with an ACCRA AXIV XT60 premium golf shaft.
ACCRA AXIV shafts are designed using the innovative AXIV Tetra-Axial (4 axis) weave which is the most exotic material used in the production of golf shafts today. This material allows our engineers to weave four different modulus of carbon in 4 different directions all in one ply of material. This creates a wall that is strong yet thin, an ultimate combination to stability and feel, not found in any other graphite golf shaft.
The AXIV material when combined with the super high modulus materials used in all ACCRA shafts creates the new “rapid recovery system” which enables the shaft to resist deformation throughout the golf swing and recover faster than any other graphite golf shaft. This results in a more repeatable “load” and “unload” during a players swing producing greater consistency for all levels of golfers.
“ACCRA is certainly on a role on PGA Tour’s around the world” stated Gawain Robertson (ACCRA Partner – Tour Rep) “The best players in the world provide us with a great proving ground, giving enormous credibility to the technology that ACCRA continues to introduce to the discerning golfer everywhere” continued Mr. Robertson.
“ACCRA has been at the forefront of technological advances in golf shafts since it’s inception just over 4 years ago, bringing AXIV material to the North American and European market places was just the latest in a series of exciting innovations” stated Dave Makarucha (ACCRA Partner) “Having the best club fitters in the world ensuring that all golfers receive the same treatment as our Tour Pro’s do, just enhances the benefits that our shafts provide” continued Mr. Makarucha.
