The ACCRA iCWT iron shafts are unique. They are constant weight sets with 4″ parallel tips. A golf club builder, by cutting away some of the tip, can created the stiffness they want. The ACCRA iCWT is available in three weights, 75g, 95g and 115g.

The AeroTech PowerCoil driver shaft comes in two weights, 50 and 65 grams. As claimed on the Aerotech website, the tip stiffness increases with weight and stiffness. It is filament wound like the SteelFiber and has excellent radial consistency.

Now that AeroTech is the most used carbon fiber iron shaft on the PGA tour the brand name is well known. Chris Hillery has been making driver shafts almost as long as he has made the SteelFiber iron shafts. The Aerotech ALT470 was my go to shaft many years ago when I worked in an academy the specialized in young golfers.

Paderson Golf Shafts is a name that has been making some significant waves in the aftermarket golf shaft area for a couple of years now. Most golfers haven’t heard about what this company can offer but those in the know are starting to realize that this company is bringing something new to the table. Paderson has been producing graphite shafts for almost 30 years, R&D on the KINTIXX line started in 2008.
In addition to the catalog of shafts, there is an in depth discussion of their technology and manufacturing process which I am not going to repeat here with one exception. All but a few of Paderson’s shafts are filament wound. They are one of a very few companies that have this manufacturing technology. This video copied from their site illustrates the process.
Most carbon fiber shafts are made by rolling sheets of material over a mandrel. Paderson ‘spins’ a weave of carbon fiber ribbon over the mandrel. This gives them the unique ability to tension the fiber during the weaving process.

Paderson makes a full line of filament wound carbon fiber shafts. They tension Kevlar ribbon during winding, a unique construction in the golf shaft business. To most of us, Kevlar is a material we associate with bullet proof vests, but as you will see in this Wikipedia article, it has a wide range of use. Many of them sports related. It is a high strength, low weight fiber. Paderson is not the only company to use Kevlar in golf shaft construction, but I am told they are to only company that can tension it during application to the mandrel, owning the patent for the process.

Paderson offers a range of tension wound Kevlar fairway shaft weights and profiles. A great matrix of designs for a fitter to work with. The catalog price of $150 puts in at the low end of the range for premium shafts. Lets take a look at the measurements of this very wide range of products.
