Posted December 4, 200519 yr comment_109099 The GD answer to the Diamana, The Tour AD PT-6, PT-7 and PT-8 shafts. set for release this week! The more user friendly Graphite Design I-65 type 2. This one is big on the JPGA! The M55 a lower ball flight on a 55 gram shaft!
December 4, 200519 yr comment_109108 do u know the characteristics of each model chris? graphics on all three are sweet!
December 4, 200519 yr comment_109118 I hope they don't also jump on the $1000 shaft bandwagon. However, I suspect all of the high end manufacturers will have to start charging $1000 for one or two of their shafts, or fear that consumers won't think they are making top quality stuff!! What are the specs and prices, Chris?
December 4, 200519 yr comment_109129 PT-6: SR 62g., 3.6°, mid; S 63g., 3.5°, mid; X 64g., 3.5°, mid. PT-7: S 72g., 3.4°, mid; X 73g., 3.3°, mid. PT-8: S 81g., 3.2, mid; X 83g.; 3.1, mid.
December 4, 200519 yr comment_109138 i really like te red one. solid looking designs. unfortuneately i dont gots that kind of money right now for a shaft like that.

Amen to that. I liked it when you could get really good shafts at a more "normal" price.
December 6, 200519 yr comment_109400 i too hope they dont jump on the 1000 dollar shaft wagon! but to be fair to GD i think their Tour AD Japan range is of superb quality and to be honest is probably IMO the best manufacturer of the moment. This is my opinion and within this i AM including the 1000 dollar shafts! Edited December 6, 200519 yr by plus1
December 6, 200519 yr comment_109418 I really like the I65, which Joe blue printed in the Alpha Reaction C380.2. I tend to be a little jerky from the top and this shaft provides a very smooth transition. In addition, here is no ballooning at the apex of ball flight. Very nice mid trajectory. I can't quite determine the roll factor yet!
December 6, 200519 yr comment_109446 Gotta say these ADs are good. Played a friend's 983K with a $300 AD (forgot the model name) and compared to the stock....Night and day. We are talking 30+ yards and completely different ball flight and feel.
December 6, 200519 yr comment_109462 :tsg_smilie_cool: The choice in shafts, particularly driver shafts is now pretty amazing. The one thing I would encourage all who are buying a new shaft is to go to and get themselves tested for swing speed. Mine is 108mph with the driver. Once you know what it is, post your details on the site. The members will give you some recommendations. After that email Chris and he'll will outline the best shaft options to maximize distance and accuracy.

Members will soon see improvements in their Accuracy and Distance ( lol Tour AD = Accuracy and Distance!) as well as a big empty hole in their wallets! But hey all for the good of the golf game..... :tsg_smilie_cool:
December 7, 200519 yr comment_109557 Where can I get these? PT-8 & I65 type II Give me Give me Give me
December 7, 200519 yr comment_109561 Um...I think that it is important that GD keep pace with the rest of the industry, but to charge more for a shaft with 3.1* tourque, it won't fly. God Bless Jer
