Graphite Design shafts were in the winner’s bag on both the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR Champions last week, as the brand recorded a notable double victory across two global circuits.
At the DP World Tour’s Hainan Classic presented by MAEXTRO in China, the champion secured his second career title using a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-6 X-Stiff wood shaft in a Titleist GT3 driver. Rounds of 64, 66, 69 and 70 saw him finish on 19-under par to claim the win.
Meanwhile, on the PGA TOUR Champions, the winner of the Cologuard Classic in Tucson, Arizona, also relied on Graphite Design technology. Gaming a Tour AD GC-6 X-Stiff wood shaft in a Callaway Elyte driver, he secured his eleventh career title with a birdie on the first play-off hole.
“Congratulations to both champions this past weekend! It was an incredible showcase of golf at the highest level, and we’re thrilled to see both players trust Graphite Design premium shafts in their drivers,” said Bill McPherson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc.
At the centre of the DP World Tour victory was the Tour AD DI “Deep Impact” shaft, one of Graphite Design’s most established profiles. Designed to deliver a blend of power and stability, the DI model incorporates Toray’s NANOALLOY material technology in the tip section, promoting increased stability without compromising feel.
The shaft also uses aerospace-grade 50t carbon fibre, with a softer mid-section designed to enhance loading, while maintaining a firm tip through impact. This combination is engineered to produce higher launch with reduced spin, alongside improved ball speed and consistency.
The Tour AD DI range is available across a wide spectrum of weights and flexes, catering to a broad range of player profiles, with multiple colour options offered across the line.
