Overview/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”
