CARLSBAD, CA – November 13, 2019 – Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winner of the European Tour Turkish Airlines Open was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD TP-7 X-Stiff Flex wood shaft in his TaylorMade M6 HL 16.5° Fairway metal wood and a Graphite Design Tour AD TP-8 X-Stiff Flex wood shaft in his Ping G410 20° Fairway metal wood. The champion won on the 4th hole of a dramatic six-man playoff to claim his 4th European Tour win.
“Congratulations to the 2019 Turkish airlines Open champion. It was exciting to see the performance of several of the playoff contestants using Graphite Design shafts. The playoff holes under the lights for the first time on the European Tour made it a very memorable victory for the Englishman”, stated Erik Boysen, VP of Tour Promotions, Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc.
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 technology called Fast Taper Technology or “FTT”. This 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 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 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.
