Graphite Design Tour AD MT Shaft Review

(H/T Golf Tips Magazine)

Key Features: Designed with much of the same technology you’ll find in the Tour AD DI, the new Tour AD MT has a stiffer mid-section and a slightly softer tip, which means it’s better designed for today’s driver clubheads that promote a low-spin/high-launch ballflight. Like every Tour AD shaft, the Tour AD MT comes in a wide variety of weights and flexes. We love the yellow. 

Specs: Available in a huge spectrum of flexes and weights for almost every type of player.

Graphite Design Tour YSQ Shaft Review

Graphite Design YSQOverview/Technology-

Graphite Design has been a leader in the golf shaft industry for years, some of the best players in the world consistently playing their shafts.

The Tour AD YSQ was introduced in 2008′ with a subsequent model coming out to eventually settle on the YS+ series.  The new YSQ however is known to add significant distance, as much as 6-10 yards.  This is accomplished by increasing ball speed 3% to 5%.  This improvement was made possible Axial Composite Interlace (ACI), an exclusive technology that stabilizes the club by eliminating deformation – end result is Pure Distance and Perfect Accuracy, the ACI driven mantra coined by Graphite Design.

Below, are the latest specs released by Graphite Design.

Player Feedback-

“It’s at least 10 yards longer and I have a lot more control”

“The feeling of the YSQ was as good as the YS6, but with less dispersion. YSQ has a higher profile than the YS6, and was the natural upgrade for me”
