ACCRA Tour Z RPG Reviews !?!

Whodamon1 · February 22, 2022

Looking for reviews of the new ACCRA Tour Z RPG's. Anyone that has spent some time with them? ...and, hopefully some comparisons to the previous model. Better or worse?? Likes or dislikes?? Have played 300 and 400 series, currently have 362 and 372 in my dr and fw. Have a 462 that I like to swap in to the dr on windy days. Curious of any feedback on the new shafts.

Thanks. But I am interested in the LBP/HBP shafts most of all. I can't really handle the Tour Gold at this point. And, I am hoping to find comparisons to the previous models.

Anybody playing the RPGs? I'm new to them, but remember trying one once, and didn't like the feel maybe.

Anyways, I'm in the market for a new shaft. Aggressive swing, high 110s. I'm coming out of Smoke Green Hulk, but don't like the feel of that shaft.

Just stumbled across this. I bounce between a Tour Z RPG M5 362 HB and a Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 6TX.
I really like the Accra. I have it installed straight in and it’s a tiny bit looser than the Graphite Design but much smoother. It wasn’t quite as “counter balanced” as I thought it would be. I play it at 45.5” and it comes in about 1.5 swing weights heavier than the Graphite design IZ at 45.10” (both with the grip on).
tip is a bit active but not in a bad way. I’m a fan. Going back I’d probably tip it an inch or so just to tighten up the lower part of the shaft but it’s very smooth and a good shaft to try out for sure.

interesting to see this. i'm playing the AD XC currently and am looking for something I can swing a little harder at - I have a fairly rushed transition, despite a lot of swing graft being applied. how does the 362 HB do with all out type swings? for reference i'm around ~110 mph.

I game it around a 116mph but can step it to 119-120 depending on the day. It feels fine. Doesn't feel like I lose the shaft at any point in the swing and the misses are entirely on me. My swing has a pretty smooth tempo with a moderate transition so it works for me, but a friend of mine with a touch slower swing speed (by a couple mph) but more aggressive transition says the shaft feels like a pool noodle to him. Ironically he also plays a Tour AD IZ in the same weight as me but he's in an X flex while I use a TX.

You might be better off with the Accra Tour Z RPG Tour (gold). Plays a bit more stout.
