One of the largest weight and flex ranges of all premium golf shafts, the Tour AD IZ begins in the 40-gram regular flexes and ends with 80-gram tour extra-stiff with everything in between. Each model is billed as a high launch, low spin shaft. The butt section of the Tour AD IZ is firm. The midsection is medium in stiffness while the tip is firm+ for added explosiveness.

The combination of these materials creates a firm butt section, medium midsection, and a firm+ tip section. The balance throughout the Tour AD IZ golf shaft isa product of the Material Stiffness Integration, or MSI, that is unique to Graphite Design. 50 ton ultra-premium aerospace grade materials give the Tour AD IZ shaft more feel without compromising stability through impact. Graphite Design has create a golf shaft that can fit almost all levels of golfer and all swing speeds.

The Graphite Design Tour AD IZ – “Into the Zone” designed and manufactured at the Graphite Design Japan factory headquarters, has a very stealthy look to it in black with white/orange accents and a sleek new matte finish. The Tour AD IZ shafts are available in 40g R2, R1 and S flex, 50g R2, R, S and X flex, 60g SR, S, X and TX flex, 70g S, X and TX flex and 80g S and X flex.

Our Experience

I have played Graphite Design shafts for over 5 years and can echo just how smooth these shafts are. I love the feel and performance I have gotten out of every Tour AD shaft I have played. The Tour AD IZ is possibly the best feeling shaft I have ever swung. Golfers will quickly recognize the signature orange so many associates with Tiger and his Tour AD DI but the Tour AD IZ is a surprising blend of performance and power.

Conclusion

Graphite Design takes advantage of a material weave pattern that has allowed them to create a first-of-its-kind shaft that truly caters to golfers of all swing speeds and skill levels. The first premium Graphite Design shaft offered in a weight range of under 45 grams, the Tour AD IZ is an engineering marvel. If you are a serious golfer, no matter your swing speed, and you want to get the absolute most from your driver, fairway woods, or hybrids, you need to be considering the Tour AD IZ for your game. I personally would recommend this to players, especially lower swing speed players who generally cannot find advanced quality shaft offerings in the weights and flexes that suit their games the most. If you can get your hands on the Tour AD IZ, you won’t want to let go.
