Graphite Design Tour AD DI Wood Shaft- DEMO SHAFT

What It Is

• The Tour AD DI is one of Graphite Design’s flagship wood shafts, designed for use with drivers and fairway woods.

• “DI” stands for the shaft’s use of Nano‑Alloy®/DI technology in the tip section — an innovation that improves stability without sacrificing feel.

• A “DEMO SHAFT” designation typically means the shaft was used for club‑fitting or testing. Performance and structural integrity remain identical to a retail shaft; any difference is usually cosmetic (minor marks, handling wear).

Construction & Materials

• Built in Japan with premium, aerospace‑quality 50t carbon fiber throughout.

• The tip section uses Toray’s Nano‑Alloy (DI) material technology, which increases tip stability and reduces unwanted shaft twist or deformation at impact.

• Utilizes Graphite Design’s “Material Stiffness Integration (MSI)” philosophy — the shaft is engineered with variable stiffness along its length for optimized loading, energy transfer, and control.

Bend Profile & Feel

• Bend profile: Medium flex in the butt and mid-sections, with a stiff tip. This lets the shaft load smoothly through the swing yet remain stable through impact.

• Feel: Smooth, controlled, and balanced. It doesn’t feel whippy or “loose,” but also isn’t overly rigid or “boardy.” Instead, many players describe it as a shaft that “loads nicely, unloads cleanly” — offering a blend of feel, responsiveness, and control.

Performance Characteristics

• Launch: Mid to mid‑high / high — the softer mid profile helps generate height and carry.

• Spin: Low to low/mid — the stable tip resists excess spin, producing a more penetrating ball flight.

• Trajectory & Flight: Typically results in a penetrating, high-launching ball flight that carries well and rolls out nicely, especially in dry or firm conditions.

• For many golfers, it produces long, straight drives with tight dispersion thanks to the reliable tip stability and smooth loading/unloading behavior.

Flex & Weight Options

The DI shaft line covers a wide range of flexes and weights to suit different swing speeds and playing styles. Common options:

• Light / Senior (R2, ~54–55 g)

• Regular (R1 / R, ~55–57 g)

• Stiff / Stiff-Regular / X-Stiff (~63–75 g and up)

• Tip Diameter: Standard (~.335″), making it compatible with most driver and fairway wood heads

Because of this variety, a DI shaft can be fitted to serve players from smooth swingers to high-speed players alike.

Who It’s For — Ideal Golfer Profile

The Tour AD DI is ideal for golfers who:

• Want a high-launch, low-spin ball flight, typically to maximize carry distance and roll-out.

• Prefer a smooth, controlled feel through the swing rather than a “whippy” or “active-tip” sensation.

• Value consistency, stability, and tight shot dispersion, especially on tee shots.

• Span a range of swing speeds — from moderate to high — thanks to the shaft’s broad selection of weight and flex.

• Want a shaft that supports powerful clubhead speed with precision, often suited to mid-to-advanced golfers, but flexible enough to fit a wide variety of swing styles.

Special Note: DEMO SHAFT

As a “DEMO,” this shaft was likely used during a club‑fitting session. That means:

• Performance, specs, and overall materials are the same as new.

• Cosmetic condition may be slightly used (e.g., minor handling marks).

• Price is often lower than a brand-new retail shaft — making it a cost-effective way to access a premium wood shaft.
