Graphite Design MAD 65 Wood Shaft (66g-68g) - 0.335" Tip - Black / Silver

Graphite Design MAD - Maximum Accuracy & Distance

The team in the R&D lab at Graphite Design Japan went all out when designing the new Graphite Design MAD wood shafts.  A challenge was issued to them to design a shaft that would alleviate the ill fated golf ball flight issues that results in a lack of Maximum Accuracy 1and Distance.  Accepting the challenge, they went to work in an effort to develop a cure.

The Graphite Design MAD shaft is their response.  Available in two strengths, the Graphite Design MAD standard strength wood shafts are available in a 45g, 55g, 65g and a 70g and is designed for the intermediate to advanced players.

The Graphite Design MAD PRO strength wood shafts are available in 65g and 75g and are designed for the advanced to professional players with higher swing speeds.

Features & Technology

• Designed to promote mid to mid/high launch angles with low/mid to mid ball spin rates.
• TORAYCA®  T1100G carbon-fibre pre-preg with NANOALLOY® technology for increased stability in the mid to tip region and unsurpassed feel.
• Premium, ultra-thin, aerospace quality carbon fibre materials.
• Graphite Design proprietary Material Stiffness Integration (MSI) design philosophy and technology.

TORAYCA® T1100G

TORAYCA ® pre-preg using T1100G carbon fibre with NANOALLOY ® technology is unlike conventional pre-preg materials and it is comprised of both higher modulus and very high tensile strength fibres.  The resin system of TORAYCA ®T1100G pre-preg is also based on NANOALLOY ® Technology for added strength and vibration dampening.

TORAYCA ® T1100G advanced material technology allows Graphite Design engineers to fine tune specific zones of the shaft stiffness for added stability without a gain in structure weight resulting in the next generation of high-performance Tour AD graphite golf shafts that provide superior Accuracy and Distance with every shot.  This technology may be found in the MAD and the Tour AD, VF, UB, HD, XC, VR, IZ, and Tour AD M9003 models of wood shafts.

MSI Technology

Material Stiffness Integration - MSI, is the main design concept by which Graphite Design develops golf shafts.  Composite materials consist of two main components, graphite fibre and resin.

The stiffness of each fibre has an impact on how much vibration is transmitted up the shaft affecting the feel of the shaft.  The resin acts more like a sponge absorbing the vibrations, creating an exquisite feel.

Flex - Swing Speed Guidance

R2 Senior (A) - 71-85 MPH.  R1 Regular (R) - 86-95 MPH.  S Stiff (S) - 96-105 MPH.  X Extra Stiff (X) - 105+ MPH.  TX Tour Extra Stiff (TX) - 110+ MPH.
