Product description

The Tour AD Utility shaft brings the unmistakable feel and consistency of Graphite Design’s acclaimed Tour AD series into the realm of Utility Driving Irons. Designed and manufactured exclusively in Japan, this shaft reflects the company’s commitment to performance at the highest level, crafted for players who demand precision but without compromising on feel.

Available in 85g and 95g weight profiles, the shaft is a deliberate continuation of the Tour AD story. It bridges the performance gap between wood and iron, offering a smooth, responsive transition for players who rely on utility irons to control launch and shape shots into long par fours and tight landing zones.

Built for Today’s Utility Iron

Utility Driving Irons have become an essential tool in modern course management. The Tour AD Utility is engineered specifically for this category, combining the stronger, stiffer profile required for distance with the control and feedback players need to trust their strike.

This isn’t a hybrid shaft adapted to fit an iron. it’s a shaft designed from the ground up for utility performance.

Material Choice, Purposefully Refined

At the core is Graphite Design’s use of aerospace-grade, high-modulus carbon fibre. This material isn’t just about reducing weight, it’s about enhancing responsiveness. The shaft delivers a clean feel at impact while maintaining enough rigidity to control dynamic launch and spin windows.

In short, it’s a rare balance of stability and feel, allowing skilled players to commit to their swing without hesitation.

Advanced Integration for Consistency

The Tour AD Utility features MSI (Material Stiffness Integration) technology, a signature of Graphite Design’s high-performance lineup. MSI works by finely controlling stiffness throughout the shaft’s profile, tuning the tip for stability, reinforcing the mid-section for control, and maintaining enough flex in the handle to promote timing and tempo.

The result is a shaft that doesn’t just work, it works with you. Each section of the shaft responds purposefully to the demands of the modern player.

Quiet Confidence

Like the best equipment, the Tour AD Utility doesn’t shout for attention. It rewards commitment with control. It offers the reassurance of premium construction and a profile developed by one of the most respected names in graphite shaft design.

This is a shaft built for players who prefer driving irons, not just for the look, but for the precision. Those who shape tee shots, flight long approaches, and take pride in playing the smart shot, not just the big one.
