Graphite Design Tour AD VR-6 Wood Shaft (65g-66g) - 0.335" Tip - Blue / White

Tour AD VR - Vanquish All Rivals

The Tour AD VR, like the other high performance Tour AD wood shafts, utilises premium, aerospace quality carbon fibre. Tour AD VR is available in 40g, 50g, 60g, 70g and 80g.

Tour AD VR has a slightly higher balance point than the other current Tour AD wood shaft profiles.

The Tour AD VR shaft also utilises FTT - Fast Taper Technology, which incorporates a faster taper rate from the grip to the lower mid-section of the shaft, providing the overall feeling of greater club head control at impact and an increase in club head speed.

The Tour AD VR shaft profile is firm to stiff starting at the handle, medium/firm in the centre section and has a firm tip to promote a mid/high launch angle and low ball spin rates.  

The Tour AD VR also utilises TORAYCA® T1100G carbon fibre pre-preg with NANOALLOY® technology in the tip section of the shaft for additional shaft stability, exceptional feel and precise ball control.

Features & Technology

• FTT - Fast Taper Technology.
• TORAYCA®  T1100G carbon-fibre pre-preg with NANOALLOY® technology for increased stability in the mid to tip region and unsurpassed feel.
• 50 ton ultra premium, high modulus, aerospace quality carbon fibre materials.
• Graphite Design proprietary Material Stiffness Integration (MSI) design philosophy and technology.

FTT - Fast Taper Technology

Tour AD VR and Tour AD TP shaft models both utilise the Graphite Design advanced technology called Fast Taper Technology or FTT.  This technology is based on the tooling called the mandrel that the shaft is moulded around.  The Fast Taper Technology incorporates a faster taper rate in a specific section of the mandrel used to create a unique shaft profile. 

The Fast Taper Technology of the Tour AD VR shaft starts in the handle or grip section and extends to the lower-mid section of the shaft.  The FastTaper Technology of the Tour AD TP shafts starts in the lower mid-section and extends down to the tip of the shaft.  The end result of using the Fast Taper Technology is the overall feeling of greater club head control at impact and an increase in club head speed through the swing.

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.
