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.

The Fujikura Ventus Black TR VeloCore bears the same relationship to the Ventus Black VeloCore without TR as do the Ventus Blue models. I wrote an extensive discussion of the TOW weave in the review of the Fujikura Ventus Blue TR so I will not repeat it here.

The Fujikura Ventus model introduced VeloCore last year. It took some time before I acquired a comprehensive array of the shafts to measure. The current count on their website is 40 models. It takes me 20 minutes to do a full set of measurements of a shaft. To measure the full matrix of 40 shafts is a few days work in the shop. This and the next few reviews cover representative samples of the Ventus VeloCore driver shafts.
Lets start with what Fujikura tells us on their website and then look at how that translates into what the measurements so us.

The Dynamic Gold Mid is a new profile from True Temper. Actually it is two profiles, the Dynamic Gold Mid 130 Tour Issue models are very different from the Dynamic Gold Mid 100 and 115 models. Based on my experience with very good reason.
