(Assembled) Graphite Design Tour AD GP Driver Shaft with Adapter Ti...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Graphite Design Tour AD GP is a Tour AD driver shaft built with a very stiff tip and a firm mid and butt to promote a mid launch with low spin, made in Japan with 50-ton carbon fiber and Toray NANOALLOY. We build the GP-8 in TX (tour X-stiff), about 85 g. It arrives assembled with your choice of adapter and grip, ready to attach to your driver or fairway wood head.

Who It's For
Good fit if you...
- Want a mid flight with low spin from a heavy, stable shaft
- Swing fast: we build the GP-8 in tour X-stiff
- Like a very stiff tip that keeps the face steady through impact
- Want the Tour AD feel in your driver or fairway wood
Not the right fit if you...
- Want a lighter Tour AD or a softer flex: the assembled Tour AD VF starts at 46 g in R2 flex
- Need more height: Graphite Design rates the Tour AD DI high launch
How It Plays
Our spec sheet gives the GP-5 to GP-8 a very stiff tip section with a firm mid and a firm+ butt. That profile is designed to promote a mid launch with low spin, so the ball flies on a steady line rather than climbing.
The GP-8 is the heaviest GP, about 85 g with 2.7 torque and a mid kick point. Graphite Design builds it with 50-ton carbon fiber and Toray NANOALLOY material for stability, at its factory in Japan.

| GP-8 | X | 85.5 | 2.7 | 0.608 | Mid | Low | Mid |
Material: graphite (50-ton carbon fiber, Toray NANOALLOY) | Tip diameter: 0.335" | Parallel tip: 3.0" | Raw length: 46" (before assembly) | Color: teal | We build the GP-8 in TX (tour X-stiff). Our spec sheet lists the GP-8 in S and X, shown here; Bend Pt. is the kick point
