Graphite Design announces YS NanoReloaded shafts

Published

on

Graphite Design is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a new shaft that blends technologies from two of its most successful design.

Golfers familiar with the company’s shafts likely know about its Tour AD line, which launched in 2010 with the still popular Tour AD-DI model. Graphite Design has since followed up on the DI’s success with its Tour AD-MT, AD-GT, AD-BB and AD-DJ, to name a few, each of which has its own unique bend profile to help golfers dial in the best trajectory for them.

The new YS NanoReloaded shaft, which will be available in stores on Nov. 1, uses the same nano-alloy material technology that has fueled the popularity of the Tour AD series. Its bend profile, according to Bill McPherson, vice president of sales for Pro’s Choice Shafts, is similar to the company’s YS shaft that was introduced in 1999 and re-released with refreshed graphics in 2005 with the name YS+.

The YS was known for its smooth feel and its ability to fit a wide range of golfers. The addition of Graphite Design’s nano-alloy material technology allowed engineers to maintain the feel for which the YS shafts are known while adding more stability, particularly to the tip and butt sections of the shaft. That allows the shafts to perform better in today’s metal wood designs.

The YS NanoReloaded shafts ($269) will be available in three weights: 50 grams, 60 grams and 70 grams in L, A, R, S and X flexes. They’ll also be available for hybrids in 70- and 80-gram models (R, S and X flexes) that will sell for $129.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball

Published

on

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.

While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.

“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.

“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.

“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”

Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.

It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.
