I received Graphite Designs Tour AD GC shaft before the release. That gave me time to measure it and get player feedback before the scheduled release.
This is the sixth shaft from Graphite Design to use Torayca M40X in the butt section of the shaft. This is a high tensile strength and high modulus fiber prepreg. This means the shaft will exhibit more elasticity where the M40X material is applied. In comparing the models that have this material to those that don’t, I see reduced hoop deformation in the handle.

I am often asked for reviews of the shafts that are stock shafts in off the rack drivers. This is a quick review of the measurements of some of the 2024 Ping fitting cart shafts. The heavier Alta CB shafts are similar to the Tour 2.0. The lighter Alta CB and the Quick are different shaft profiles.
