The Tour AD DI “DEEP IMPACT” is designed to provide golfers with more power and stability in their golf shaft. Designed and manufactured exclusively at the Graphite Design factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD DI orange and black colored options are available in 50g R2 (Lite), R1 (Regular) S and X flex, 60g SR (Stiff Regular), S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex, 70g S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex and 80g S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex.
The Tour AD DI 5-R2, R1, S and X flex, 6-SR, S and X flex, 7-S and X flex, and 8-S and X are available in two color schemes: orange with white bands and green rings, and a 2nd color option of black with white bands and silver rings. The Tour AD DI 6-TX, 7-TX, 8-TX, and 9-X flex shafts are available only in the orange color scheme.
The Tour AD DI is our first shaft design integrated with Toray Company’s original NANOALLOY material technology in the tip section. This material technology has now come to be known as “DI Technology”. This unique material technology promotes additional shaft stability without loss of feel and allows the player to generate greater clubhead speed, resulting in higher ball speed while still providing exceptional feel and control.
The Tour AD DI also utilizes premium, aerospace-quality 50t carbon-fiber materials to provide the best-performing shaft available. The softer mid-section bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, while maintaining a firm enough tip section through impact, promoting a high-launch, low-spin ball flight. The result, the Tour AD DI delivers players to the next level in shaft performance and will create a “DEEP IMPACT” on your game!
