Brand new for 2023, Graphite Design introduces the latest in the Tour AD premium line of golf shafts, the Graphite Design Tour AD CQ – CONQUEST. Designed and manufactured at the Graphite Design Japan factory headquarters, the new Tour AD CQ wood shafts are jet black with gold and red accents and finished with a gloss clear coat.
The Tour AD CQ, like the other high performance Tour AD wood shafts, utilizes premium, aerospace quality carbon-fiber materials and are available in 40g R2, R1 and S flex, 50g R2, R1, S and X flex, 60g SR, S, X and TX flex, 70g S, X and TX flex and 80g X flex.
The Tour AD CQ shafts features the new Nitta 2G-Namd carbon-fiber material technology in the butt section of the shaft and has a bend profile of firm in the handle section, firm in the center section and a medium+ tip section to promote mid-high launch angles and mid ball spin rates. The Nitta 2G-Namd material is based on modern carbon nano tube technology that binds the fibers tighter together than standard carbon materials to aid in a higher degree of energy transfer thru the golf club and a more solid impact of the golf ball than shafts without Nitta 2G-Namd technology.
Visit your local Graphite Design dealer for a fitting and experience what the new Tour AD CQ wood shafts with Nitta 2G-Namd can offer in your CONQUEST to gain a Tour level of precise Accuracy and greater Distance that all Tour AD shafts are so well known for.

- Pro’s Choice encourages consulting a PGA Professional or qualified club builder to help you determine the correct shaft and length for your swing profile and to meet your goals.
- Always leave a minimum of 0.5″ of the parallel tip section of the shaft above the hosel. For example, with a hosel bore depth of 1.5″ and the shaft has a parallel tip length of 4.0″, the tip trim length should not exceed 2.0″.
- Improper installation may affect the intended performance of the shaft. Warranty is for material and workmanship of our products. Improper installation voids warranty of product.
