Graphite Design Tour AD-GC Wood

Graphite Design introduces the latest in the Tour AD premium line of golf shafts, the Graphite Design Tour AD GC - Game Changer.  Designed and manufactured at the Graphite Design Japan factory headquarters, the new Tour AD GC wood shafts are pearl white with bronze and orange accents and finished with a gloss clear coat.

The Tour AD GC, like the other high performance Tour AD wood shafts, utilises premium, aerospace quality carbon fibre materials.  Tour AD GC is available in 40g, 50g, 60g, 70g and 80g shaft weights.

The Tour AD GC shaft profile is Stiff in the butt section, Firm in the centre section and has a Firm+ tip to promote Mid launch angles and Low/Mid ball spin rates.

Features & Technology

• AD Shield.
• TORAYCA ® MX40 carbon fibre pre preg.
• TORAYCA ® T1100G carbon fibre pre preg with NANOALLOY ® technology for increased stability in the mid to tip region for unsurpassed feel.
• 50 tonne ultra premium, high modulus, aerospace quality carbon fibre material.
• Graphite Design proprietary Material Stiffness Integration (MSI).

AD Shield

The Tour AD GC shaft 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.

TORAYCA® M40X

TORAYCA® M40X pre preg is the latest in cutting edge carbon fibre materials from Toray Industries, Inc.  

Prior to 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 large improvement in tensile strength with an increase of 30% over conventional carbon fibre materials.
