Wow. I don't even know why I should like this thing. Kinda looks like a golf shaft to me.
Lyle, I guess it's good that your OCD is directed towards golf equipment instead of Star Trek.

dude i love the way that shaft looks... howd you get it i think i saw one at a tour event i went to i cant remember who i saw with it... HB, whats not to like its the same as taking a pic of your new driver or w/e and posting it...
And THAT is the point, Pingman. Well said mmdrake.
Hell, mmdrake plays with shovels and pool cues for gods sake and he's freakin' awesome.
oh i know it wont help you actually swing the club better i just dont think that its any different from someone posting a pic of a new 3 wood the bought... the shaft is a piece of equipment and we all know the right equipment for us does make a difference...
I am not sure where to begin with this, so I will get right to the point.
THE CREATION IS SIMPLY AMAZING.
I played 9 holes this evening and hit 2 balls off of every tee. Always hitting one with my gamer one with the creation. I also alternated which one went first. I was hitting the ball quite well tonight with all my clubs so I strongly believe my findings were not a fluke.
The creation is freaky long. I mean longer than anything I have ever hit including the odd freak shot you hit from time to time. I hit 4 drives today that were longer than any ball I have ever hit on those holes. One was so far up I actually stopped looking for it because I assumed it took a funny bounce and was lost. It was almost 25 yards further up than normal. I was very surprised to say the least. I am not sure why this shaft is this much longer but it is, and that I have no doubt about.
The ball flight is so cool as well. Quite high, and stays in the air an extraordinarily long time. I am talking "holy ****" long time, yet it hit the ground running every single time. Every shot was nearly identical with it, high, flat, in the air forever, 2-5 yard draws. By the 7th hole the 2 guys I was playing with were both saying they wish they were left handed so they could hit this club. Both have played with me before and were blown away. It was also very accurate, with only one missed fairway and that was less than 5 yards off line.
Feel was nothing special. It felt like every other high end shaft I have hit. Smooth, silky, and controlled. Nothing that stuck out however.
I will be playing again tomorrow morning and will update this after that. So far though I am beyond impressed. This may very well be the best golf purchase I have ever made.

As for the honey moon, I hit something good right away or not at all. This doesnt change with time.
Yeah, I'm sure you'll be consistently "hitting it 25 yards farther" forever. Good luck with that.

Listen. I type slow so you can understand this a little better.
I have been golfing for 30 years. I carry an index of 1.9 at the moment and am very consistent. I have had about 6 driver heads, and roughly 25 shafts in various combo's over the last 3 seasons and all have been withing 5-10 yards of each other. This shaft is consistently 20 yards past any combo I have ever hit, anytime, anywhere. Everyone I know who has hit this shaft has reported freaky distance gains. Its the design of the shaft. On the launch monitor is produced faster ball speeds, with less spin than any shaft I have ever played. The part that is most amazing is that the head I using with it has more loft than any head I normally use as well. Yes, even with more loft, the launch angle has remained the same, ball speed still went up, spin still went down, carry and roll both increased and my angle of ascent is better as well. In less than 5 years, every shaft company out there will incorporate this design in some of their models. That I can guarantee.
So have fun hitting your $25 "made for Titleist" speeder

Thanks for the unsolicited lecture. I understand completely. You're a conceited, egotistical, internet hero who can predict the future of golf shaft technology. Shocked we haven't seen you out on Tour with your combination of skill, knowledge, and knack for making friends online. Got it.
And I'll bet I can easily outdrive you with my "$25 shaft". Whatever.

Troll, yes, you fit the bill perfectly. Myself on the other hand has nearly 1600 posts.
Look I understand your pain. It must be tough talking to people who can afford to buy nice things while you scrape by living paycheck to paycheck. Its OK though, things will turn around for you soon enough. Next thing you know you'll be the fry guy, then shift supervisor, then assistant manager. Yes, it might take a few years, but I honestly feel your time is coming. If you play your cards right, 10 or 15 years from now you might be the manager. Think about that, the MANAGER. You will marry, most likely a fattish slightly older than you woman, who in spite of her fatness will still screw around on you, you will have a couple of butt ugly kids who will be a little "slow for their age", and live in a nice single floor dwelling in a questionable area of town. Happy times indeed, the pride of your family to boot.
Lucky you.
If you look at Lyle's input on the "Which shaft do you choose thread", the fact is, he know's his stuff. Most people just think they do. I recently, bought an NV proto with a 905 D2 head, and feel kind of wowed by it. Lyle, have you tried that? What are your thoughts?

Wow - the incredibly original fast food insult. Where did you come up with that? What's next? Are you going to insult my mom?
I won't respond with my financial particulars but it's safe to assume that whatever you paid for that shaft will probably cause you to have to skip a payment on the trailer you live in. Lucky you.

The picture looks nice but what is the technology behind this this new "design"? i.e. what makes it so special?
This is a direct quote from the Accuflex website
"The new creation shaft by AccuFLEX features a unique long "butt" parallel section
that tapers quickly in the bottom portion of the shaft. The Long "butt" taper stores the created energy longer, while the quick taper at the end acts as a "hinge" that enables optimal unloading of the shaft at impact, creating a higher launch angle, with decreased back spin. This new shaft profile, combined with our proprietary NANOMET technology, NanoMetal Polymer Composites, allows us to push the shaft design limits, with precise weight distribution and variable bending properties through the shafts profile, to accomplish a super stable shaft that has unmatched feel, dispersion and distance producing characteristics. Each Shaft is finished in Japan with a rich ION coating."
The thing looks bizarre in person. The butt seems to run more than half way down the shaft then taper hard and fast. It feels different at impact as a result but the ball rockets off the face. The shafts can handle anything you throw at it, I am stunned at how consistent it is in terms of ball flight and distance. I swing pretty well but have never seen this level of consistency from shot to shot to shot.
They are also using a different type of carbon nanotube in this design that is suppose to make the shaft stronger yet create a more consistent load and unload.
Trust me when I say it seems to work brilliantly.
hey lyle... ignore the newbs for a moment ... how much did you pay?
or better yet how much could you get me one for?
here's what's going on in Omen world....
the graffaloy blue x is going really high off the 905 @ 9.5*
ball speed is avg. 168 with this set up... launch angle is usually around 17-19* ... freaking straight up ....
so what's up what do you have or can you get me into that will remedy this.
sincerly the same old Omen
p.s. to prove its the same old omen; THE DRAW IS STILL THE SUPERIOR BALL FLIGHT.
Omen, the GR standard by which all GOLFERS will be measured.
Hey Lyle, your attempt at a new and improved persona doesn't seem to be working. One negative response and your old abrasive self immediately resurfaced (which I think is a good thing BTW).
The shaft sounds awesome though. When can I get one in Australia, and are there any other shafts that employ similar technology?

I paid $190 US. Now that I have played this I would not hesitate for a second to buy again at full retail if I had too. Yes, I thinks its that good. You can get this shaft and a quality component head for less than a superquad tp.
There are currently no other shafts on the market the incorporate this exact technology.

Why don't you put it in a decent driver, instead of that no name Maltby you use? How could anybody take a club designer seriously who is called Ralph?

That no name head has higher launch monitor numbers for ball speed that any of the current offerings from Callaway, TM, titleist and nike. It also weighs 203g, a much preferred head weight for a driver that is 44.5 inches. It can also be chosen with the proper face angle for ones swing with the right connections.
15-3-3-3 titanium aint cheap, but it is by far the best titanium for a club head face.
I can play any head I want, and would not choose another at this point. What comes out in the future, who knows. But currently there is no better driver head on the market imo.

Thanks for the info, maybe I should kerb my pre concieved elitist bias towards name brands. I know your irons aren't played by tour players either, but they are top notch forgings which are probably better quality than most of the tour players are hitting. Shame I can't Maltby drivers in Australia.

She must be a very nice, and very sympathetic, whore if she takes your money Cargo. I wouldn't think any whore would be that nice.
