ACCRA DyMatch 2.0

The DyMatch brand has become ACCRA’s most successful line in ACCRA's history, so we did not take the process of updating this shaft model lightly. The goal was to improve on a technology that is proprietary and Tour proven. The result is DyMatch 2.0!

Using our exclusive technology that was born from observations on the PGA Tour, we have simplified the line and offered the best fitters in the world more ammunition.  DyMatch technology has not changed! We have designed the DyMatch 2.0 line with the same reverse engineering technology using dynamic measurements of club head twist (torque) and shaft deflection to develop three distinct lines of shafts.  The fairway woods and hybrids are design to react identically to the matching driver shafts, with respect to performance and most importantly feel.

There are some significant changes:
-    The DyMatch 2.0 now incorporates the same technology as the Tour Z brand where all similar flex shafts are identical regardless of weight.
     This mean that the DyMatch RT40 M4 has the same profile and stiffness as the DyMatch 2 ST80.
-    DyMatch 2.0 offers three different tip deflection options offering discerning golfers three options for initial launch conditions.
-    More choices of weights for driver shafts within each category
-    One fairway wood shaft and one hybrid shaft in each category that is “dymatched” to the driver shafts.
-    New cool graphics cap off the overall appeal of the DyMatch 2.0 brand.

Fitting capabilities had never been so precise, once you determined what flex a golfer requires, now a golfer can zero in specific weight requirements with multiple choices of driver shaft options. Once a driver shaft have been determined, the exclusive DyMatch process enables the golfer to get a “dymatched” fairway wood and hybrid for a set perfectly matched for feel and playability...... Fitting has never been so accurate!

DyMatch 2.0 for Dummies
 

The most popular shaft in the history of ACCRA gets a facelift for 2012.The amazing popularity of this innovative technology has encouraged the engineers at ACCRA to maintain all of the beneficial aspects of DyMatch and DyMatch RT to create a newer slicker version. The plan has never been to make this program or technology obsolete, but rather to enhance the technology and generally make the entire program easier to understand.The new ACCRA DyMatch 2.0 encompasses all that was good with DyMatch in an easy-to-fit package.What remains is a program designed dynamically based on PGA Tour observations and results from robots, cannon and player testing.The challenge has always been to develop a fairway wood and hybrid that will identically match a driver shaft in feel and performance.

The goal was to reverse engineer the fairway wood and hybrid shaft to match the dynamic movements (deflection & torque) of the matching driver. The DyMatch concept was born from the dream of creating a full line of shafts (driver, fwy, & hybrid) that would play and feel the same, enabling fitters to be comfortable matching a fwy and hybrid to a fitted driver.

DyMatch 2.0 simplifies the entire process and is divided into 3 categories:

                                                                                - RT (Responsive tip – High launch)
                                                                                - MT (Mid tip – Mid launch)
                                                                                - ST (Stable tip – Low launch)

Each category includes three driver shafts, one fairway wood & one hybrid all dynamically matched (DyMatched):

                                                                                - RT40, RT50, RT60, RTF, RTH
                                                                                - MT50, MT60, MT70, MTF, MTH
                                                                                - ST60, ST70, ST80, STF, STH

Three driver shafts in each launch condition for ultimate fitting capabilities and then a fairway and hybrid shaft DyMatched for performance.

DyMatch 2.0 features:
• Constant taper design for maximum transfer of energy and stability.
• CFC (Consistent Flex Control), now available in all ACCRA shafts...... All similar flex shafts are the same blank flex regardless of the weight.
• ACCRA only uses the highest modulus composite materials required for feel and performance.

As you can see, the CG moves closer to the point where the shaft enters the club while moving from driver, to fairway wood, to hybrid. Thus, we really don't require a stiffer tip or lower torque to maintain stability in the smaller heads, yet this is the way shaft manufactures design shafts. The funny thing is shaft companies make heavier (fairway wood) shafts with firmer tip sections and usually lower torque, then tell you to “tip it” up to 2 inches! This makes little sense, forcing Tour players to find a softer tipped shaft from a different company for their fairway woods!!!

So we said "heck" (or something to that effect), lets design a "kick a$$" driver shaft in multiple weights (all with slightly more stable tip sections than we had done before and butt sections that were easier to "load" than any previous ACCRA). Once we test these driver shafts with Tour players and average golfers and know they work, we measured them! But measured them dynamically.....not statically! We got all the assembled measurements and then put them through Robot, Canon, strain gauge, and human tests to determined the amount of torque and tip deflection a head receives when striking a ball.

Then we designed a fairway wood shaft and hybrid shaft to "MATCH" these numbers in "DYNAMIC" form (at length with a head, grip, and being swung). Honestly, who cares if a fairway wood is the same profile as your driver and is 10 grams heavier..... but doesn't feel anything like it! Heck, that's what's happening on Tour. Players will try the 10 gram heavier version of their driver shaft and inevitably it doesn't work!!

So why not actually design a fairway wood and hybrid shaft that will react identically to a driver shaft when hit in assembled form? This is where we came in! Eight revisions and dozens of trials have culminated into the first completely "DYNAMICALLY MATCHED" shaft system ever created!
