n-y body hit Ozik Atlus, Accuflex, Accra Tour??

[asianpsuation]

has anybody hit a Matrix Ozik, Accuflex, or Accra shaft in their woods??
I have a Mitsubishi Rayon Blueboard in my driver, and i love it, but the ozik shaft looks cool and i wonder what makes it so expensive (up to 1 grand on ebay). They make it sound like its more complicated to make than kevlar, but i cant see the benefits bein worth that much. same goes for the other two shafts too. Comments??

asianpsuation,

The Oizk Altus is a very different bend profile than the Blueboard. The Altus is tip soft mid firm and butt stiff. If you're paying more than $350 installed for one you're getting ripped off. The Altus is high launch and very low spin and has a very smooth feeling. The proprietary soft feel shaft is neat, but is not a very durable coating at all. Their proprietary Zylon and multi-material composition is why they are able to create such low spin shafts. The TP-7 / TP-7X line is around $800 installed and features side spin reduction properties which do help to reduce misses left and right. It works, but it won't cure wild hooks and slices. If you can afford it and get fit properly it will help increase your driving accuracy, but whether it is worth the hefty price tag is highly debated. Personally I think there are better shafts on the market for far less money. If you want something more comperable to the Blueboard from Matrix, I would look into the Code-6 series which is a tip stiff, but stiff and mid flexible shaft. This shaft does play a bit firm to flex, so you might want to go a flex down. Acculfex makes a wide range of shafts in different bend profiles to suit different golfers needs. I'm not sure which shaft you're curious about, but rest assured Accuflex makes top quality products. The Accra Tour series is a soft tipped shaft that retains a very stable feel thanks to its low torque. Although torque really doesn't mean much, the Tour series is great for aggressive swingers who a stable feeling shaft but still require a softer tip. Outstanding product, but again, a very different profile from the Diamana Blueboard.

thanks, i am looking into the accra line of shafts, can u reccomend which one (if any) is the most comperable to my diamana? I love the mitsubishi shaft in my r7, but it feels a little harsh sometimes, and i think id hit a slightly heavier shaft better (like 70 grams maybe).
-also are accra shafts most commonly found on tour? i've never seen any on the course, and almost all ebay clubs w/ accra's are tour issued/only

asianpsuation,

There are a couple of shafts I would consider. From Accra, the closest thing is the SC-75. But it's still softer in the tip than the blueboard and may get the ball up in the air a bit more than you would like. A shaft I'm currently testing and quickly falling in love with is the Graphite Designs Pershing. It should fit the bill perfectly and is available in a 75g model. It's tip stiff, butt stiff, mid flex, but is just a bit softer than the Blue Board overall, making it easier to load especially towards the end of the round. I highly suggest looking into it, and at $80 it's a real bargain.

thanks thats perfect, ive heard about the pershing and seen ads for it but ive never hit it. It sounds like it solves my problem perfectly. For about 10 holes or so i hit my driver great, but towards the finishing holes as i get tired the shaft starts to feel really stiff and harsh. Ill look into it

one more thing if you know
-whats the main difference between the diamana bluboard and redboard? i think the redboard is a softer club throught the shaft that creates a higher launch, but im not sure. thanks

If you are hitting good with your current shaft/driver, I would not change it...

asianpsuation,

The Redboard is stiffer in the midsection and significantly softer in the tip and butt than the Blueboard. The softer tip adds higher launch while the softer butt section makes the club easier to load consistently. A very good choice if you're interested in raising your ball flight.
