Graphite Design Tour AD DI Shaft
Graphite Design Premium Tour AD DI – Deep Impact Shaft is designed to provide more power and stability, the Tour AD DI shaft, manufactured exclusively at Graphite Design Japan, has been integrated with Toray Company’s new Nanotechnology material in the tip section of the shaft.
This unique tip technology creates optimal launch and spin conditions to produce increased accuracy and distance. Tour players have been impressed by the fact that when using the Tour AD DI shaft they can increase ball speed and accuracy without giving up distance. The mid bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet maintains a firm enough tip section through impact, producing optimal spin and launch conditions. Golfers using the shaft will experience the feel of the ball leaving the club head with a lot of speed while maintaining exceptional feel and control.
Players are giving it a try in their drivers and then using it in their fairway woods as well. We designed this shaft to deliver players to the next level in shaft performance and create an impressive impact on their games and we feel we have succeeded in that mission.”

As we reported earlier this year, Alex Dee, along with a group of industry veterans, have officially launched their own golf shaft company, leading with the Alpha One. Now you can get your hands on that shaft at Club Champion.
The Alpha One Blue and Gray series are debuting Aretera’s PowerGrid technology. Aretera is the first company to use spread tow woven carbon fabric in multiple layers at full length comprising over 50 percent of the shafts weight in design for maximum stability with a uniform feel.
These materials, novel in their application at this level, aim to offer high-level structural benefits compared to traditional unidirectional composites.
Speaking on the new shafts, Alex Dee stated:
“A lot of shafts have had to sacrifice feel to get stability. We’ve found ways to get it back. And it’s not a compromise.”
Aretera launches on April 1, 2024 at all Club Champion locations nationwide.

The AD-Di is a very consistent shaft. I play the Di 7x…silky smooth feel, loads and unloads well and produces a nice flat, mid trajectory the rolls out a mile. Love this shaft in my 910D3!!!

Great shaft. I put it on my 910 D2 in June. Big numbers due to errant drives disappeared. My handicap has dropped 6 strokes since then.

This shaft has great feel, but for my swing it wasnt for me. I just felt like I had to wait on it.

This really is an amazing shaft. It remains stiff enough for me but has such a great feel. Something that I’ve never experienced with a driver shaft. Normally you don’t find stiff enough but plenty of feel.
