RETURN COSTS & RESTOCKING FEE (ASSEMBLED ITEMS)
🚫 No Returns or Refunds on Assembled Shafts
Please note that all assembled shaft orders are final. Due to the custom nature of this process, we do not accept returns or offer refunds on any assembled shafts. Each order is built to your specifications, and once assembly begins, we are unable to restock or resell the components.
We encourage you to double-check all specs (flex, length, grip, adapter, etc.) before placing your order. If you need help confirming details, our team is happy to assist before you check out.
Returns can be made on non-personalized items and non-assembled items within the US, 60 days after you've received the original order. Items are only accepted on unopened and unused products. Items must be returned in the original packaging.

We do not accept any international returns at this time.
At Grips4less, we strive to provide a smooth international shopping experience. To ensure clarity regarding shipping, duties, and returns, please review our policy below:
Duties, Taxes, and Import Fees
- International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, and import fees imposed by your country. These charges are the customer's responsibility and are determined by local customs authorities.

Refused or Unpaid Shipments
- If an international order is refused or the required duties/taxes remain unpaid, the carrier may return the package to us.
- In such cases, customers will be responsible for all shipping costs, including outbound and return shipping fees.
- Refunds for returned shipments will be issued minus all incurred shipping fees.
Lost or Delayed Shipments
- Once an international order has shipped, we are not responsible for delays caused by customs processing or other carrier-related issues.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Graphite Design Tour AD VF UT is the Tour AD VF profile built for utility and driving irons. Graphite Design rates every build low launch and low spin with a high kick point, and builds it stiff in the butt, stiff in the mid section and very stiff in the tip. It comes in the 95 and 105 series in S or X, from 94 g to 109 g, as a 40" raw shaft with a 0.355" taper tip.
Before you order: this is one 40" raw shaft with a 0.355" taper tip. It goes into the head as is and gets cut to playing length from the butt. Order one per driving iron, or let our Retrofit Service install it.
Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Play a Tour AD VF in your driver, woods or hybrids and want the same family in your driving iron
- Have a utility or driving iron head that takes a 0.355" taper tip
- Want a low, controlled flight with low spin from your long irons
- Swing fast enough for S or X: Graphite Design fits S at 96 to 105 mph and X above 105 mph driver speed
Not the right fit if you...
- Want more height from a driving iron shaft: the Tour AD UT 95 is rated mid launch
- Have a hybrid with a 0.370" tip: see the Tour AD VF Hybrid
- Want it installed with an adapter, ready to plug in: we don't sell an assembled VF UT, so contact us or use our Retrofit Service
- Are not sure which weight fits: read the Graphite Design Shaft Guide or take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz
How It Plays
VF profile for driving irons. Graphite Design says the VF UT follows the bend profile of the Tour AD VF wood and VF Hybrid shafts, set up for driving irons: stiff in the butt, stiff in the mid section and very stiff in the tip.
Low launch, low spin. Graphite Design rates all four builds low launch and low spin with a high kick point, so the flight stays the same whichever weight you pick.
M40X in the butt. Graphite Design uses Toray M40X carbon fiber in the butt section for stability and ball control, and makes the shaft at its factory in Japan. The 95 series weighs 94 to 97 g with 2.5° torque, the 105 series 106 to 109 g with 2.2°.

Will It Fit Your Driving Iron?
This shaft is for utility and driving irons with a 0.355" taper-tip hosel. It is one 40" shaft: Graphite Design says not to tip trim it, so it goes straight into the head and is cut to your finished club length from the butt.
Not sure which tip your club takes? Take the Iron Shaft Finder Quiz, or let us install it with our Retrofit Service.
