I hit this with Mikey yesterday… great stable option but not too stiff in the handle. I could still feel the load and transition. It’s going to be a great option for a lot of people!
100% agree with GD being a great company & quality of materials - I've used a number of different versions of their shafts. Everything from BB, DI, GP, etc. Great shafts & thanks for doing a review on this!
@@ianfrasergolf Snap seriously - that awesome pink and blue collared golf shirt I thought was one, guess I am to focused on watching the results/content. Rocking a ventus blue in my TSR 3 I purchased from you guys, but man that ACCRA 140 M0 looked like fun to hit!!! :)
Great swinging Ian! You could knock the pins over in a bowling alley. I’ve been struggling a bit with dispersion at times this year. I’ve got a Tensei Blue in my TSR3; which Graphite Design shaft would be similar in terms of profile but maybe help tighten things up? Thanks ☺️
Good Stuff. I'd be curious to see 5S/6S. GD Tour AD Di user 6s in driver but, 7X in 3W. Probably 6x in driver a better fit. dispersion wise. VFS 5s or 5X might be what Id be looking for.
Tried this and a very good shaft but struggled with keeping swing speed. Instead I’ve been placed into the tour as ub 6x. Swing speed up and ball speed and no loss in accuracy
How does GD quality and consistency compare with Mitsubishi (MCA)? I know you both have often said that MCA has total vertical control of everything on the manufacturing/materials side through to distribution. Just curious if MCA’s control makes it comparable to a more premium manufacturer

shaft looks absolutely gorgeous
Love the videos, find them so interesting. Would love a fitting one day!
Love the black and red on that one
Ian lookin pretty dialed in with those drives!
Thx guys perfect timing looking for a new driver shaft
Holy snap, Ian in a Nike shirt vs a Galvin.......he was really trying to bring out the youth and high swing speed for this shaft test :)
😂, I haven’t wore a Galvin shirt on the channel for 6 months.

@@66BW been rocking G/Fore recently. The Accra is a fun little whip stick!!
@@ianfrasergolf Love that golf shirt my friend. It is solid, sharp as always!

Based on the Graphite Design chart, looks like an updated version of their old AD M9003. Would that be accurate?
I love shaft reviews! 👏🏻 still waiting for the personal UB review. Hahahahaha 😉
Good looking shaft!!!!!!!
I just put the AD UB 6TX in my driver and love it.
Would this be kind of between a Ventus Black and Ventus TR Blue? Thx!
Would have been nice to see a few with the tour ad di.

I have the Tour AD UB, love it.
how much longer are you playing the 5X at? would be interested in a similar experiment. currently playing the Tour AD XC 6X and love it.

Can you test the 40 gram in stiff and regular? That would be a better comparison to the Accra 140 M0
Love to see this combo in a zx5ls. Is this a replacement for m9003 or more like a GP?
Different torque for both shafts, do you think that has much in the profile or less thought about that than in the past.

When you guys talk about going lighter and longer, how much longer are you talking a half an inch or an inch?
That 5x looks good on you.
Would the 6S soften and play more like a Ventus Blue 6x or more like a Ventus black 6s?
@ianfrasergolf - Was the 50g Stiff one at 45.5" playing length? (vs shaft only length)
Have you guys tried LA golf balls, seems really high for a dozen
Yes they have try the search
What lengths were you doing the testing at?
I’ve always felt like GD is more designed around the quality and consistency rather than distance.
Cruising at 109 😂 that’s my ROIDING UP 😢
Neat
Ian should try a plain hover or line up to toe
Noticed he wasn’t hitting driver over 300, all his other fittings every shaft was 300 plus
Try that shaft in the ping head
Wish all my one-handers looked like 6:14
first!
What is the profile of the shaft?
According to the website:
Butt - FIRM +
Mid - STIFF
Tip- VERY STIFF
Torayca M40X in butt section
Torayca T1100G in mid and tip sections
@@jonathanlawson5812 so an extremely stiff profile. I guess you should go down 1 flex to play this shaft?
@@kidze73 It seems so.
I may never need anything other than my Tour AD DI.
@@jonathanlawson5812 do you play tour AD DI in your fairway woods too?
If one can afford it, yes.
