Thank you Jeff!

Could you tell me what the ball flight will be of Acculite 95? I was planning on using Phantom shafts in my new Dynacraft Prophet Tour Blade. But that got pushed to the side when I found out that the upcoming Acculite Gunsmoke shaft was based off the Acculite 95. I'd also like to hear your personal thoughts on these shafts (Phantom, Acculite95/Gunsmoke).

Thanks,
Charles

Charles:

Aside for the stepped vs. non-stepped look, there is one slight differences. I found I was able to turn the ball over with a bit more ease with the Acculite 95 because of the little softer tip section. But I liked the weight, performance and feel of each of these very much. Hey, I am not getting any younger and the lighter weight is a blessing on these old bones.

When will the 75 and 95 gram shafts out? Couldn't locate them in your on-line catalogue. Thanks.

Sometime in December. I think the 75 will be one week later than the 95. If I find out any sooner, I will try to update this thread.

Jeff,

Since these shafts are so light, do I have to follow the same principles as graphite shafts and make my clubs 1/2" longer to achieve normal swing weights? I'm now leaning more toward Phantom, I like the stepless design and can handle a stiffer tip.

Maybe on the 75, but the others you should be fine with standard steel lengths. At worse you can add tip weights.

Will you be publishing a 2010 DSFI? I see the matrix provided in the catalog but I am hoping to be able to see the data. Thanks!
