CARLSBAD, CA – April 18, 2018 – Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winners of the PGA Tour RBC Heritage event and the LPGA Lotte Championship played Graphite Design Tour AD shafts in their clubs en route to their respective wins last weekend.
The champion of the PGA RBC Heritage event held at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, SC was playing a Graphite Design special Black/White edition of the Tour AD Quattro Tech 75-X flex wood shaft in both his PRGR RS Prototype Driver and his Taylormade M2 (2017) #3 metal wood. He also was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD Quattro Tech 75-X flex wood shaft in his PRGR iD Nabla #5 metal wood and a Graphite Design Tour AD HY105-TX (Tour X-Stiff) Flex Hybrid shaft in his PRGR iD Nabla RS Tour #3 Driving Iron.
The Champion of the LPGA Lotte Championship event held at the Ko Olina Golf Club in Kapolei, Oahu, HI was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD TP-5 X-Stiff flex wood shaft in her Ping G400 Driver.
Designed and manufactured at the Graphite Design Japan factory headquarters, the Tour AD TP wood shaft is available in 40g R2, R1 and S flex, 50g R2, R1 and S flex, 60g SR, S, X and TX flex, 70g S, X and TX flex and 80g S and X flex. The Tour AD TP, like all of the premium Tour AD wood shafts, utilizes premium, aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber materials in order to deliver the best feeling and performing shaft available to golfers.
Designed around new tooling, the Tour AD TP utilizes a brand new technology called “Fast Taper Technology” or FTT. This new technology incorporates a faster taper rate from the lower mid-section to the tip of the shaft than previous Tour AD wood shaft models. The new Fast Taper Technology provides the overall feeling of greater club head control at impact and an increase in club head speed through the swing.
The 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/high launch condition and low spin. The new Tour AD TP also utilizes the latest in graphite material from Toray Industries, Inc., 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.
During independent robotic golf club testing, the new Tour AD TP-6 Stiff Flex shaft gained +3.5 yards in Carry Distance and +3.8 yards in Total Distance while maintaining tight dispersion rates vs. comparable Tour AD 65g wood shaft models.
Make a change in your Driver or Fairway metal wood today to the same shaft that the professionals use, the new “Tour Proven” Tour AD TP model of premium Graphite Design graphite golf shafts with FTT – Fast Taper Technology.
