Like all the premium Tour AD wood shafts, the Tour AD IZ utilizes premium, aerospace-grade 50 T carbon fiber to deliver the best-feeling, performing shaft available to golfers.

The Tour AD IZ shaft is firm starting at the handle with a medium center section, and a firm+ tip profile to promote a high launch angle and low/mid-ball spin rates. The Tour AD IZ also utilizes TORAYCA ® T1100G carbon-fiber pre-preg with NANOALLOY ® technology in the tip section of the shaft for additional shaft stability, exceptional feel, and precise ball control.
