From Graphite Design:

The Tour AD GT design features an overall slightly stiffer profile than the Tour AD DJ, resulting in a higher kick point that produces a MID trajectory while maintaining optimal control. Like similar Tour AD wood shafts, the new Tour AD GT provides a player with amazing feel and improved performance in Accuracy and Distance.

The new Tour AD GT shaft is available in four weights: The 55 gram Tour AD GT 5 (R1, R2 and S flexes); The 65 gram Tour AD GT 6 (SR, S, and X flexes); The 75 gram Tour AD GT 7 (S and X flexes); and The 87 gram Tour AD GT 8 (S and X flexes).

I thought GD has pulled out of the US?

[Titleist-Golfer]

Sweet!

[compton1977]

I was at an independent fitters a week or so ago and he had these lying on his table, at first I thought they were BB's but he pointed out that they are 2013 stock, look good!

[Hookshot33]

Looks nice and I bet they will make a great fairway wood shaft.

They pulled out of the US. Doesn't mean they stopped making shafts though. I wonder how readily available this will be or is this something that was in development prior to that decision. Or are these out of Japan development.

[Hookshot33]

They are still in the us. I believe it's called pro's choice golf shafts or something like that who is handling their US distribution. It would've been an unwise move to leave the US altogether.

[Pure745]

GT7/GT8.... 2013 is going to be expen$ive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JanKo]

Fantastic looking color scheme. Since the Tour AD DI I'm a big fan of their products. This shaft just works in every driver head for me.

[Rusty88]

i must admit the colour scheme is nice and not overtly out there as the AD DI. might be onto a winner here. Now only to hit it

Erik Boysen I think.

Erik,

Some of us were curious about the line up, like how each profile fits in, and I had questions about the TX flex that we see. Thanks in advance.

[Puppetmaster]

Oh, and of course a big thanks to Greg for the pictures, these look much better in his photos than what the Pros Choice site is showing.

[chiguy]

These look great. I'm a big fan of the color combo. And I like that stiffer profile. Can't wait to hear more from Erik!

http://www.golfwrx.c...-flex-question/

Here is a response about the TX flex that Erik posted a couple years ago to another thread:

"The TX is a tour issue only shaft with is 10 CPM stiffer that a x-flex shaft it's not a XX. It has lower torque and is alway produced when a new model is introduced on tour. For example DJ6,7 and 8 TX. We even have DI's 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 which are slightly heavier (3 to 4 grams )and lower torque than the DI-6, 7, 8, 9 and 10's. Robert Karlsson plays a DI6 TX tipped 1.25 in a 910 head."

This might answer your question.

[mp29eb]

Tour AD DI is High Launch / Low Spin
Tour AD BB is Mid Launch / Low Spin

Tour AD DJ High Launch / Mid Spin
Tour AD GT Mid Launch / Mid Spin

Trying to keep it simple.....TX is tour only. I think some posted my reply a couple of months ago.

Questions?

Erik

[mp29eb]

Thanks!!

I stopped reading after "this shaft will retail for $380."

I'm sorry, but no shaft is worth that much money.
