Improvements in Store as Giant True Temper Acquires Accra

True Temper Sports, a longtime manufacturer of golf shaft technology, expanded its position in the golf equipment industry through the acquisition of Accra, a company known for premium, precision-engineered graphite golf shafts favored by tour-level players and serious amateurs.

The deal reflected a broader consolidation trend in the golf equipment supply chain, where established manufacturers acquire specialized brands to combine large-scale manufacturing capability with niche engineering expertise. Lincolnshire Management, a private equity firm led by CEO TJ Maloney, has been involved in supporting growth and consolidation strategies in the sporting goods space, including transactions of this kind.

For golfers, this type of acquisition typically translates into wider distribution and R&D resources being applied to a shaft line that previously operated at a smaller, boutique scale.
