Why Choose the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ Golf Shaft?
The Graphite Design Tour AD IZ golf shaft was developed for players who love the feel of the DI but need higher launch. The Impact Zone technology places specific materials in the critical impact section of the shaft, creating explosive ball speed with a smoother overall profile.
What makes the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ golf shaft unique? The IZ features a softer mid-section than the DI, allowing for easier loading and higher launch. The tip section remains stable for controlled spin. The result is a shaft that launches higher than DI while maintaining the signature Tour AD feel.
Unlike the DI (orange) which launches mid, the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ golf shaft (blue/silver) launches mid-high. This makes it ideal for players who generate enough speed but need help getting the ball airborne.
