Product Description
The Graphite Design Tour AD GC Wood Shaft is a premium aftermarket shaft designed for golfers looking to improve the performance of their driver or fairway metal woods.
The Tour AD GC shaft profile features a stiff butt section, firm centre section and Firm+ tip section. This profile is designed to promote mid launch angles with mid to low/mid ball spin rates, depending on the weight and flex model.
Graphite Design has integrated AD Shield technology into the Tour AD GC, using strategically placed carbon-fibre plies combined with TORAYCA M40X material technology in the handle section. The shaft also uses TORAYCA T1100G carbon-fibre material with NANOALLOY technology in the tip section for added stability and precise ball control.
The result is a premium, stable and responsive shaft that delivers the smooth feel Graphite Design is known for, while helping golfers produce a controlled, consistent ball flight.
