Apollo Shaft have had a long and distinguished history in the Golf industry. The company was started in the Midlands of England. In the mid 1890’s as one of the founding five members of the TI Group (Tube Investments), the company was then known as Accles & Pollock. The company was referred to as a “tube manipulator”, which produced all types of steel tubing.

In 1913, Accles & Pollock received a patent for the first tubular steel golf shaft. After the steel golf shaft was finally legalized by the R & A, golf’s governing body in 1927, it rapidly replaced the wood shafts that had been used since golf began in Scotland.

Accles & Pollock soon worked with an American company, named American Fork and Hoe, which eventually became the present day True Temper. As a licensee of the American company for nearly forty years Accles & Pollack produced steel shafts under the True Temper name for the European and Japanese golf markets.

The agreement was dissolved in 1977, and Accles & Pollock began selling directly into the North American markets of USA and Canada, under their own brand name and shaft models.

In 1986 the company was split to focus more on the Golf side of the business, and took on the name Apollo Golf, which was the name of the shaft models. In 1988, Apollo golf was the first steel shaft manufacturer in the world to also offer its own branded graphite shaft models.
