Graphite Design Tour AD GC Shaft

The Graphite Design Tour AD GC Shaft utilises premium, aerospace-quality carbon-fibre materials. It integrates a new material technology called AD SHIELD, which consists of strategically placed special plies of carbon fibre combined with the modern TORAYCA M40X material technology in the handle section of the shaft that results in a stiff yet smooth-feeling kick point and optimised shaft profile. It also utilises the ultra-high modulus TORAYCA T1100G carbon-fibre material in the tip section of the shaft for unrivalled shaft stability and precise ball control without the loss of the exceptional feel that Graphite Design shafts are so well known for.

Features & Benefits:

• AD Shield
  AD SHIELD technology consists of strategically positioned plies of the TORAYCA M40X material technology in the handle section of the shaft, combined with a new mandrel shape, resulting in a stable yet smooth feeling kick point, an optimised shaft profile, and an overall solid structure. The AD SHIELD technology is used in the Tour AD GC and Tour AD FI wood shafts.
• TORAYCAR M40X carbon-fibre pre-preg
  TORAYCAR M40X pre-preg is the latest in cutting-edge carbon-fibre materials from Toray Industries, Inc. Before TORAYCA® M40X, carbon fibre pre-preg materials were either high in tensile modulus or high in tensile strength, but not high in both. The new TORAYCA M40X pre-preg offers a significant improvement in tensile strength, with a 30% increase over conventional carbon fibre materials. The new and revolutionary TORAYCA M40X pre-preg now enables their engineers to develop high-performance Graphite Design golf shafts with an even higher degree of shaft zonal tuning, without adding weight to the design. This results in increased shaft stability and a more enhanced feeling of total ball control compared to conventional golf shafts. Golfers who utilise Graphite Design shafts with TORAYCA M40X pre-preg can now essentially load the shaft more, and the more it is loaded, the more energy it will store and release at impact, resulting in increased ball speeds and greater distance. Modern Torayca M40X and T1100G material technologies, to reliably transmit the player's input to the club head, allowing for consistent shot-making and enhanced performance on the course.
• TORAYCA T1100G carbon-fibre pre-peg with NANOALLOY technology for increased stability in the mid-to-tip region and an unexpected feel
• 50-tonne ultra-premium, high modulus, aerospace carbon fibre materials
• Suitable for use with driver and fairway woods.
