nobmontana Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Man, seems like I've been really slow to the band wagon this year! Back in March '21, Graphite Design released a Japan only limited edition Tour AD PT High Modulus shaft and I am just learning about it. Basically it is positioned to be the successor to one of their longest seller Tour AD PT ( Think Blue Board type profile ) but uses updated/higher grade material including 80T carbon fiber as well as Toray's T1100G around the tip section. Saw some Youtube videos a few weeks ago where they compare this shaft against Mitsubishi Tensei 1K as well as Diamana D-Limited. Though it is a mid launch, it appears that this shaft provides very low spin. Since my all time favorite is the Kurokage '13 which is a mid launch shaft, I decided that I need to get one of these shafts in 6S and try it out. Should arrive in the net couple of weeks. One I have it, I will compare this against my D-limited shaft. Edited October 11, 2021 by nobmontana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobmontana Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Here is a quick summary of my first few range sessions with the Tour AD PT High Modulus 6 Stiff. I've actually not had the chance to try the original PT shafts. But after trying the PTHM (PT High Modulus) in my Mavrik Subzero Triple Diamond 8.5* head, my impression is that even though Graphite Design claims that it is a neutral and mid launch shaft, to me it feels more similar to the likes of the original Diamana X or Fire Express BX70 It's mid-low launch and low spinning. It does not feel as refined as the D-Limited .. but I like how the overall feel of the shaft is very responsive. It's one of those shafts that don't have a lot of play. Still is a highly stable shaft. Unfortunately, I don't feel that this shaft is the best match with the Mavrik but possibly a better match to the PRGR Proto Single Clover. It may push out the Loop GK out. Edited October 24, 2021 by nobmontana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supo Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 I played the original PT 6x and thought it was the best GD shaft id ever hit. LOVED it, it suited my swing profile perfectly,just a little softer, little spongier, especailyl vs the orange one matsuyama loves.. didnt lie that at all DJ i think i t was , i got THE perfect flight arc. with a mid to mid high flight , shafted up a callaway ERC3 endo special form a while ago and left back home for my links. LOVE that combo. so if u say this is similar to the DIA X but looks just a tad less torgue , ill be allover that. good graphics too. not being funny but how a shafts looks is important to me as well!
