There is a lot of controversey these days about Darwin and evolution. Some people favor creationism while others prefer intelligent design. This debate will never end, but I am certain that golfers will have little to argue when it comes to Accuflex. There is no doubt that the new shaft designs from Accuflex are  intelligently designed.

I have recently had the pleasure of putting the Accuflex Evolution shaft and Creation shaft (Tour Only) into play. Both were intelligently assembled by Joe Kwok, the master himeslf.

The Evolution shaft is installed in a 9.5 Callaway FT3 at 44.75", 205g, and D3.5. Joe tells me that its unusual to obtain this weight and length combo for this setup.  The shaft itself is mid-high kick, 75g, cpm's at 250, and is tip weighted. All of this produces a high and flat ball flight.

NanoComposite technology adds strength to the shaft, but results in a slightly harsher feel than Nano-less shafts. At impact, as the shaft releases, I feel more of a smooth, horizontal punch as opposed to a quick kick. The upper half of the shaft, all the way to the butt, is thick and hefty. This is great for our oversized drivers and the heft provides stability, allowing for an agressive swing. Accuflex aesthetics are heavily invested in the color/paint. The irridescent orange is striking in the summer sun. It looks great, but I could use some creative graphics with the creative paint. This shaft feels great and performs well on the course.

Speaking of creation, another Accuflex shaft has been introduced. The Creation shaft is limited to professional golfers and has already found success in its short existence. Like the Evolution, the Creation has a fat butt section that reaches to the center of the shaft. This creates a stable feel throughout the swing, similar to the Evolution. I received the shaft installed in a TaylorMade R7 425.

According to Joe, "I thought it's gonna be a butt-stiff shaft, [but] I was wrong on that one. I think this one had something to do with their pin point [of] the variable bending properties design. They basically can stiffen or soften the shaft area that will maximize the performance and at same time doesn't give up the feel."

Since I have had this driver for a limited amount of time and with limited opportunities to put it in play, I'll leave the review to Joe. For his swing speed (108-110) the shaft is perfect. He feels the "ball flight is high enough but never seen a balloon one. Definitely come out hot from the face due to the unload movement of the shafts. The fat butt area make this shaft feel so stable through out the swing. This shaft feels smooth through out the swing and no doubt it has a lot of feel to it." For Joe, the "biggest thing that made me hitting the club better is that this shaft gives me a ton of feel to give me a better consistency on my swing."

Hopefully you can get a sense of my excitement through my words. I am by no means a professional golfer or a professional shaft reviewer. I can assertively state that these clubs have performed well for me on the course. Don't take my word for it, the members at Golfwrx have plenty of opinions. Try one on for size and decide for yourself. Create a driver and Evolve your game.
