gus Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) After asking a million questions (thanks by the way) about highend graphite iron shafts for the better player (heavy/stiff/high kickpoint, etc) I finally decided on GD Tour AD Pro's. I just recieved my shafts and at first glance "WOW" is all I can say. these babies scream serious J Spec quality down to the laser ingraved serial numbers on each individual shaft and the manner in which care was taken to finish off the tip ends as well. Looking at the tip design and overall shaft profile I'm very excited about the prospect of building these irons. This will be my first venture into the Tour AD line so if anyone has feedback or advice it would be very welcome. I haven't decided on what iron set I'm going to load up but have limited it to my Srixon Pro-100's or my old faithful Miura CB-201's. I will definitely do a full review once I've had a bit of time to practice and game these incredible looking shafts. I will add pics when they are completed so more to come including the overall profile of the iron set (length, swingweight, etc). One thing I can say right now, these guys do not come cheap. As my guy states, if you want a Mercedes you have to pay for it right? Edited October 9, 2007 by BigBen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Awesome man! You know I'm a big fan of Tour AD iron shafts. I plan on using them in ALL my irons. The only tip for installation on these babies is always butt trim never tip trim on any of the Tour AD iron shafts. They are pretty much spined from the factory to go logo down or up so no need to waste time or money doing that. Finish on the shafts is definitely awesome. They have become my favorite iron shaft over the axiv for their consistent performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Thanks, that is exactly what I want to hear. As you mentioned in a previous post; it makes life so much easier already being taper tip and spined. You are correct; the strongest point of the spine is marked clearly in silver marker so again pretty easy. I'm interested to see how the technical aspects of the built finish like swingweight and overall flex profile. It's always a bit tricky and misleading with graphite iron shafts because they do not always repond the same as steel regardless of cpm's so the real test becomes the course. Will they be consistant throughout the set, easy to control and flight, etc. Time will tell but I'm clearly hoping for a winnner here!

K2_2 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Hi BB, Glad to hear that the information everyone threw out was helpful, and you made a fantastic choice! I haven't built a set myself, so I can't help you out on that end, but if you get them set to your specs for lenth and swingweight, they should be nothing short of spectacular when you put them into play!
