New Accra TZ5 and TZ6 shafts feature “lower spin results than ever before”
Accra’s TZ5 and TZ6 Shafts proved to be very popular amongst our members when they were showcased on our forums earlier this year, and new details of the shafts have now been released, with the company putting an emphasis on the word “feel” when it comes to the new additions.
The TZ5 shaft features a smooth mid-section and lower balance point which aims to provide players with maximum feel, while its lower torque than its predecessors looks to decrease spin significantly. The shaft targets those possessing very high swing speeds who are looking to reduce spin for greater control.
The TZ6 shaft, described by the company as a “spin-killing machine,” features a mid to high launch, with a focus on its ultra-responsive tip section. The new shaft from Accra combines a 2.0 torque with a powerful tip section, and the company has stated that with feel in mind, the tip is softer than some of their lightweight shafts.
With a higher launch and consistent flight a priority, Gawain Robertson, co-owner and founder of PGMC/Accra, stated
“In the softer flexes, the TZ6 is for the person that needs some help getting the ball in the air, but as you get to stiffer flexes, the torque starts dropping and it becomes more of a players shaft.
“So it sort of transitions from a shaft that helps the average guy get the ball in the air to a shaft that helps a tour guy get the ball in the air with low spin.”
The shafts which are being gamed by high-profile Tour players like Cameron Champ, Jason Day and Tony Finau are available now. Accra’s TZ5 Shaft is available in 60-90 gram driver shaft weights and as a 95-gram hybrid option. The TZ6 comes in 50-90-gram driver shaft option weights and as an 85-gram hybrid option.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

What are they made of, and how did they get the numbers?
Another company who isn’t up front and honest about their materials and how they make them.
And so we’re back to the the low-torque thing again are we, that companies like Aldila and Grafalloy had figured out a couple decades ago.

What a stupid comment, you clearly know nothing about shafts.
