Graphite Design’s line of Tour AD shafts are some of the most popular driver and wood shafts on professional golf tours around the world, and they’re in the clubs of top-ranked players in the game. And there’s multiple models with which you may be familiar:

At The Barclays 2016, we spotted a new addition to the catalog of shafts (and colors). From the pictures, it appears they will be called Graphite Design Tour AD-TP — or in golf equipment slang, “The Silver and Gold one.”

We saw three shafts on the range of The Barclays; Tour AD-TP 6, 7 and 8, each of them X-Flexes. We don’t yet know their intended launch characteristics or new technologies, but we will keep you updated as information becomes available.

For now, check out more photos and join the conversation and speculation about the shafts here.

Info update (8/23, 9:00 p.m.)

The new Tour AD-TP golf shafts are made with “Fast Taper Technology,” a new design that has a “faster taper rate from the lower-mid section to the tip of the shaft,” according to a Pro Choice Golf Shafts representative. He continues:

The new Tour AD TP shaft has a medium stiffness starting at the handle thru the mid-section of the shaft and a stiff tip profile to promote a mid to mid/high launch condition and low spin.

They are made from Torayca T1100G carbon-fiber pre-preg, and Nanoalloy in the tip of the shaft for stability and control, according to the representative. Also, like other Tour AD shafts, the TP versions are made with aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber materials.

The Tour AD-TP shafts are tagged with a $500 MSRP, and will be available in the following specs:

  • 40 grams: R1, R2 and S-flex
  • 50 grams: R1, R2 and S-Flex
  • 60 grams:  SR, S and X-Flex
  • 70 grams: S and X-Flex
  • 80 grams: S and X-Flex

    For me, the AD-DI is hands down the best shaft I’ve ever hit in a driver. The only problem is I’m still saving my money to afford to buy one! Every time I get almost enough money I end up buying a new putter or wedge instead!
