Posted November 30, 200717 yr comment_145337 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.
November 30, 200717 yr comment_145339 I always heard some decent info on these shafts I will have to try one sometime.
November 30, 200717 yr comment_145342 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.
November 30, 200717 yr comment_145345 T, Would you think the new MD is closer to the Diamana White in term of profile?
December 1, 200717 yr comment_145350 this will be awesome! i love the qt but wasnt to happy about the low kp. this will be something to look forward to as the pt is one of my favorite shafts
December 1, 200717 yr Author comment_145352 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.
December 1, 200717 yr comment_145371 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.
December 3, 200717 yr comment_145465 Any idea when these will be available?
