WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Graphite Design Tour AD VF ("Victory Force") is a low-to-mid launch, low-spin driver shaft made at Graphite Design's factory in Japan. Graphite Design gives it a firm butt, a stiff+ center and a very stiff tip, with Toray M40X carbon fiber in the butt and ultra-high modulus Toray T1100G from the middle through the tip. We sell the VF-4 through VF-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...
- Want to bring spin down and flatten your flight
- Like a very stiff tip that keeps the head stable at impact
- Want a smooth-feeling kick point despite the stiff tip
- Want a wide choice of weights: 46 g in the VF-4 up to 85 g in the VF-8
- Want a jet black shaft with red accents in a gloss finish
Not the right fit if you...
- Struggle to get the ball in the air: Graphite Design's Tour AD DI launches higher
- Want a soft, active tip that helps the ball up
- Already hit a low, low-spin ball and need more carry
How It Plays
Graphite Design describes the VF profile as firm in the butt, stiff+ in the center and very stiff in the tip, built to promote low to mid launch angles and low spin rates. The very stiff tip keeps the head from kicking up through impact, which is where the flatter flight comes from.
The materials do different jobs. Toray M40X in the butt section supports a stiff but smooth-feeling kick point, and ultra-high modulus Toray T1100G from the middle through the tip adds stability and control without giving up the feel Graphite Design shafts are known for.
Every VF has a mid-high kick point, 0.335" tip and 3" parallel tip. Torque drops from 5.5 in the VF-4 to 2.8 in the VF-8 X.

Does this shaft work with a TSR2 driver? I’d like it 1” longer than standard
Yes, you can choose any Titleist adapter to be installed, and customize the length. If you have any questions, please reach out and let us know: 408-475-7570

I’m 53 and currently playing Hzrdus Black RDX 60 stiff thinking about switching to the Tour AD VF. How is this different in feel and power? Would this shaft work for me?
Both are low-spin, low-launch shafts aimed at aggressive/strong swingers, but they feel pretty different. The HZRDUS Black RDX is known for that "rock solid, doesn't move" feel — an ultra-stiff mid and stiff tip that's stable and crisp but firmer overall. The Tour AD VF shares a similar philosophy (firm butt, stiff+ mid, very stiff tip, low-mid launch, low spin), but Graphite Design shafts are known for a smoother, more refined, "premium" feel. You still get the stability and controlled flight, but with a little more liveliness and a slightly higher launch than the Black RDX. So you'd likely notice a touch more ball flight and a noticeably smoother impact feel.

What type of player is the VF for?
The Tour AD VF is built for a stronger, faster-swinging player who wants a low-mid launch with low spin and a penetrating, controlled ball flight. It has a firm butt, stiff+ mid, and very stiff tip — so it resists twisting at impact, stays stable under aggressive transitions, and won't balloon or over-spin. It fits players with moderate-to-fast swing speeds, solid tempo, and consistent center-face contact who already generate enough launch and are looking to tighten dispersion and flatten trajectory rather than get help getting the ball up. Graphite Design's signature smooth, refined feel makes it more comfortable through impact than many similarly stout shafts, so it's also a good pick for better players who want tour-grade stability without a harsh or boardy feel. If you need help launching the ball higher or have a smoother tempo, VF is probably too stout — but for the target player, it's one of the most popular low-spin control shafts on tour.

Hi, looking to order the VF 7 TX for my BRNR Mini, @ 3 wood length. Just wanted to check that standard length 43.25? And adapter wise I assume it’s the same as the QI10? So just wasn’t sure which options to finalise. If you could assist and confirm, then I’ll go ahead with the build ! Thanks
Hi,
For the TM Brnr Mini Driver, the standard shaft ("adapter tip to grip") length is 42.75". To use it as a 3-wood, you could reduce the length by 2" or 2.25".
Yes, they are the same adapter model as the QI10 driver head.
Let us know if you have any questions!
