(Assembled) Graphite Design Tour AD DI Black & White Driver Sha...
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The Graphite Design Tour AD DI Black & White is the Tour AD DI in its second color scheme: black with white bands and silver rings in place of the orange. Graphite Design lists one set of specs for both colors, so it plays the same: a high-launch, low-spin driver shaft with a softer mid section, a firm tip and Toray NANOALLOY in the tip. Graphite Design offers the black version from the DI-5 to the DI-8; we sell all ten of those flexes. 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 the Tour AD DI's high launch and low spin in black instead of orange
- Like a shaft that loads smoothly through the middle
- Want a firm tip that keeps the head stable at impact
- Want a weight from 53.5 g (DI-5) up to 84.5 g (DI-8)
- Swing anywhere from about 71 mph (R2) to 105+ mph (X)
Not the right fit if you...
- Need tour x-stiff or the DI-9: those come in orange only, see the assembled Tour AD DI
- Already launch the ball too high: look at a lower-launch shaft
- Want a very stiff, firm-feeling mid section
How It Plays
Graphite Design describes the DI's profile as a softer mid section with a firm tip. The softer mid lets you feel the shaft load in transition, and the firm tip keeps the head from over-releasing, which is how it launches the ball high while keeping spin low.
The DI was Graphite Design's first shaft built with Toray's NANOALLOY material in the tip section, which it now calls DI Technology. Graphite Design says it adds stability in the mid-to-tip region without losing feel.
Graphite Design offers two color schemes: orange with white bands and green rings, and black with white bands and silver rings. The black is made in the DI-5 R2, R1 and S, DI-6 SR, S and X, DI-7 S and X, and DI-8 S and X.
