Winner of the LPGA Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions was Playing Graphite Design

Carlsbad, CA – February 4, 2025 – Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winner of the LPGA Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions event held at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, FL was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-6 Stiff flex wood shaft in her Ping G430 LST 9° Driver, a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-7 Stiff flex wood shaft in her Ping G430 LST 14.5° Fairway metal wood and a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-85 Stiff flex hybrid shaft in her Ping G430 MAX 19° Hybrid. The champion collected her 3rd career win after shooting a 4-day score of 65, 69, 67, 67 for a total of 20 under par.

“Congratulations to the winner of the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. We are elated that she chooses to play the Graphite Design Tour AD DI model of shafts in three of her clubs and it was very exciting to watch the final round where the champion collected three birdies on the final four holes to win the tournament by two strokes”, stated Simon Wood, Tour Promotions Manager, 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 Tour AD DI 5-R2, R1 S and X 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 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 additional 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!
