The Graphite Design Tour AD XC , designed for “Xtra Carry,” was developed and is manufactured at Graphite Design Japan’s headquarters. It is black with silver and red accents, a silver fade on the tip, and a matte clear coat.
Like the other high-performance Tour AD wood shafts, the Tour AD XC utilizes premium, aerospace-quality carbon-fiber materials and is 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 S and X flex.
The Tour AD XC shaft profile is softer in the butt section, stiffer in the center section, and has a stiff tip to promote a low-to-mid launch angle and low spin with the ball. The Tour AD XC also utilizes the brand new TORAYCA® M40X carbon-fiber pre-preg in the Mid to Tip Section of the shaft, as well as the TORAYCA® T1100G carbon-fiber pre-preg with NANOALLOY® technology in the tip section of the shaft for unrivaled shaft stability and precise ball control without the loss of the exceptional feel that Graphite Design shafts are so well known for.
Get fit with your local professional club fitter into the new Graphite Design Tour AD XC and get ready to experience the Xtra Carry you are looking for to lower your scores.
