Carlsbad, CA – January 18, 2022 – Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winner of the Sony Open in Hawaii held at Waialae Country Club, Honolulu, HI was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-8 Tour X-Stiff (TX) flex wood shaft in his Srixon 9.5° ZX-7 Driver, Graphite Design Tour AD DI-9 Tour X-Stiff (TX) flex wood shaft in his TaylorMade SIM2 Ti 15° Fairway metal wood and a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-10 Tour X-Stiff (TX) flex wood shaft in his Cobra King Rad Speed Tour 17.5° Fairway metal wood . The champion won the tournament on the first playoff hole after hitting an incredible 276-yard 3 wood approach shot to 2 feet, resulting in an eagle.

“Congratulations to the winner of the Sony Open. What an unbelievable display of golf on the back nine and to cap it off with such a dramatic eagle on the play-off hole was just fantastic! We are so excited he displayed such Accuracy and Distance with Graphite Design Tour AD shafts”, stated Wayne Ageno, President, Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc.

The Tour AD DI “DEEP IMPACT” is designed to provide golfers with more power and stability in their golf shaft. Designed and manufactured exclusively at the Graphite Design factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD DI orange and black colored options received a recent cosmetic and are available in 50g R2 (Lite), R1 (Regular) S and X flex, 60g SR (Stiff Regular), S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex, 70g S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex and 80g S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex. The unique shaft profile and designs of the Tour AD DI wood shafts remain exactly the same and only the cosmetics have been re-freshened.

The Tour AD DI 5-R2, R1 and S flex, 6-SR, S and X flex, 7-S and X flex and 8-S and X are available in two color schemes orange with white bands and green rings and a 2nd color option of black with white bands and silver rings. The Tour AD DI 5-X, 6-TX, 7-TX, 8-TX and 9-X flex shafts are available only in the orange color scheme.

The Tour AD DI is our first shaft design that was integrated with Toray Company’s original NANOALLOY material technology in the tip section of the shaft. This material technology has now come to be known as “DI Technology”. This unique material technology promotes additionally shaft stability without the loss of feel and allows the player to create greater club head speed resulting in greater ball speed while still providing exceptional feel and control.

The Tour AD DI also utilizes premium, aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber materials to provide the best performing shaft available. The softer mid-section bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet it maintains a firm enough tip section through impact promoting a high launch and low spin ball flight condition. The result, the Tour AD DI delivers players to the next level in shaft performance and will create a “DEEP IMPACT” on your game!
