gocchin Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 As always, Graphite Design, the leading shaft manufacturer on the Japanese for 6 straight years by a large margin, listens carefully to its pros which number in the many, on what they like and don't like. The two most popular shafts in 2006 and 2007 have been the Tour AD PT series and the Quattro Tech series. May pros took to the Quattro Tech this year but a few had a hard time adjusting to the lower kick point and higher launch and what we saw was more QT's going into Fairways than drivers. So pros voiced their concerns with GD and they created the new Tour AD Quattro Tech MD series. The MD is a four axis four ply shaft made for stability and a more piercing strong mid trajectory. It brings the technology of the Quattro Tech meshed with the profile and characteristics of the PT series to for a balanced stable shaft that minimizes twisting with todays larger driver heads. The MD has the stiffer tip and mid kick like the PT series to take the left side out of play coupled with the smooth stable feel of the QT. The MD will be available in 50, 60, 70 and 80g weights. Look for it in the pro shop soon and as an addtional upgrade for the Epon EMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breal Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I always heard some decent info on these shafts I will have to try one sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2_2 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks for the info T! For a few people like me I think the older Quattro Tech will work well in the driver (still loving the low bend shaft in a lower launch head), but I think the new specs on the MD will be much better for most.

Duffer19 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 T, Would you think the new MD is closer to the Diamana White in term of profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonHack Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 looks like a great addition, I like the profile of this shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocchin Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 T, Would you think the new MD is closer to the Diamana White in term of profile? Definitely close to the white, it will have the stiffer tip like the white and more feel with the softer butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TourSpecGolfer Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Sounds awesome! I did very well with the PT-6 in a driver and the QT in a FW. This should be an even better driver shaft I'm hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridge Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Graphite Design has just released Tour AD Quattrotech MD spec. Good to see something; Specification of Tour AD PT and Tour AD Quattrotech MD are almost the same. http://www.gd-inc.co.jp/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
