SAN DIEGO, CA – January 6, 2011 – Graphite Design, maker of some of the most widely played premium shafts on the PGA TOUR, announced that it will exhibit at the PGA Merchandise Show January 27 through January 29 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. The company will also be participating in the Demo Day on Wednesday, January 26 at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge.
Graphite Design will display its complete line of products at the Equipment Test Center in Hitting Bay #3 in the Orange County Convention Center and on the driving range at the demo day. Attendees at both events can test the latest Tour-proven products including the new Tour AD DI – Deep Impact Hybrid shafts and new Tour AD DJ shafts.
The newest addition to the successful, high performance Tour AD DI series, the Tour AD DI Hybrid is designed with the same performance characteristics as the Tour AD DI shafts. The low torque and a high kick bend profile provide a tour like trajectory with mid spin and pin point accuracy. The DI hybrid is available in four gram weight categories of 75g, 85g, 95g and 105g. Players of all skill levels will benefit from the exceptional control and workability, superior performance and feel characteristics of the Tour AD DI Hybrid shafts.
Available in 50, 60, 70 and 80 gram weights, the new Tour AD DJ features slightly higher spin characteristics than Tour AD DI. This unique material technology and bend profile produces an increase in overall distance while maintaining optimal launch and spin characteristics. The Tour AD DJ shaft is designed and manufactured exclusively at Graphite Design Japan with the same Toray Company’s Nanomaterial technology in the tip section of the shaft as the high performance Tour AD DI shafts.
Revolutionary technology, design, and the most advanced materials are trademarks in all Graphite Design shafts, making them the highest quality premium golf shafts on the market today. Validating the company’s “Tour AD” logo, all of Graphite Design’s PGA Tour-proven shafts specifically promote “Accuracy and Distance”. These key competitive advantages are helping professional and amateur golfers optimize their games after switching to Graphite Design shafts. Graphite Design continues to be the most dominant shaft on the JGTO Tour and has been for the past eight years.
