(Assembled) Graphite Design Tour AD IZ Driver Shaft with Adapter Ti...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Graphite Design Tour AD IZ ("Into the Zone") is a high-launch, low-to-mid spin driver shaft made at Graphite Design's factory in Japan. It pairs a firm handle and medium mid with a firm-plus tip to get the ball up without adding spin. We sell it from the IZ-4 to the IZ-8, R2 through TX. 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...
- Launch the ball too low for your speed and want more height
- Want the extra height without a big jump in spin
- Like a firm handle and a stable tip
- Want a wide weight range: about 47 grams (IZ-4) to 84 grams (IZ-8)
Not the right fit if you...
- Already launch high: the Tour AD VF is rated low to mid launch, low spin
- Want a soft, whippy feel in the heavier weights: IZ-5 to IZ-8 have a firm handle and firm-plus tip
- Need the lowest spin in the Tour AD line
How It Plays
Graphite Design rates the IZ high launch, low-to-mid spin, with a mid kick point in every model. The IZ-5 through IZ-8 have a firm butt, medium mid and firm-plus tip. The lighter IZ-4 is softer throughout: medium butt, medium mid and soft tip.
Graphite Design uses Toray T1100G carbon fiber with Nanoalloy technology in the tip section for stability, feel and control, along with the 50-ton carbon fiber it uses across the Tour AD line. The firm-plus tip is what lets the IZ launch high while keeping spin down.
