Graphite Design Tour AD UB Shaft- DEMO SHAFT
What It Is
-
The Tour AD UB (UB = “Up and Beyond”) is a premium wood shaft from Graphite Design’s Tour AD line.
-
It’s built for drivers and fairway woods.
-
The “DEMO SHAFT” tag means it was likely used for club-fitting or testing — functionally the same as a new shaft, though it may show light cosmetic wear.
Materials & Construction
-
Made in Japan.
-
Uses TORAYCA® M40X carbon fiber in the mid-to-tip section, and TORAYCA® T1100G carbon fiber in the tip region.
-
Built under Graphite Design’s Material Stiffness Integration (MSI) philosophy, with a bend profile that’s medium-plus in the butt and mid sections and stiff-plus in the tip.
Performance Characteristics
-
Launch: Mid
-
Spin: Low to Low/Mid
-
Trajectory: A stable, mid-flight ball flight — controlled and penetrating rather than high and ballooning.
-
The stiff tip helps keep spin under control and reduces unwanted shaft twist.
-
The profile balances power and precision — providing solid energy transfer while still delivering good control.
Flex & Weight Options
The UB shafts come in a wide range of weights and flexes. Examples:
-
Lightweight options (around 45–50 g), typically in “Lite” or Regular.
-
Mid-weight (50–60 g) and heavier options (70–80 g), with flexes ranging from Regular through Stiff and X-Stiff (depending on weight).
-
The tip diameter is standard (.335″), so the shaft is compatible with most modern driver and fairway wood heads.
Ideal Golfer Profile
This shaft suits golfers who:
-
Want a mid-launch, low-spin ball flight that favors distance with stability and control.
-
Prefer a solid, stable feel through the swing — less “tip whip,” more dependable energy transfer.
-
Swing with moderate to high speed, so they can take advantage of the shaft’s stiffness without sacrificing stability.
-
Value accuracy and consistency — good for those who prefer tighter dispersion over maximum launch height or extra tip kick.
What “DEMO SHAFT” Means
As a demo shaft, the Tour AD UB has been used for fitting or testing, but it retains the full structural integrity, materials, and performance characteristics of a new shaft. Any differences are usually cosmetic — minor handling marks or light wear — and the main benefit is often a lower price.
