Sign up Closed: Graphite Design Driver Shafts

Really have been struggling getting off the tee consistently.  It would be interesting to see if my current shaft is hindering in that at all compared to a Tour AD shaft.

Would love to see if a new shaft could help me out. I hit my HZRDUS decently well, but days where I feel like I'm swinging a touch slower, it gets a bit tougher to hit. Have wanted to try GD and Ventus shafts for a while but haven't pulled the trigger on one.

Graphite Design has always been a rock solid company.  Many players rely on these shafts and you know the quality is always going to be good.  I'm interested to see the results of this test to see what kind of variety they have in their lineup.

Looking forward to the opportunity to test the GD-DI shaft.  A new driver shaft is on my list to upgrade this year.  The DI structure specs seem to be what I am looking for in a new shaft.

Have signed up as would love to see how the AD DI compares to my Accra TZ6. 

This is a great opportunity. My swing speed isn't what it was, so I am kind of looking for a new shaft, and was interested in their VF shaft.

I have the HD and DI currently, and have a VF coming in. It would be awesome to test a few more and see how they compare. I love the Graphite Design shafts!

I had a chance to try a fellow golfer's Graphite Design X5 shaft recently.  I thought my existing Cobra had a great set up for me (70 years old, stiff, high 90's driver swing speed, 8 hcap).  Typical drive 140 - 155 yds. I hit my driver and then his on holes 16 & 18 at Papago in PHX.  His driver was 40 yards and 35 yards further (180 then 175!)  WTH!!!  Couldn't believe the shaft could make that big a difference.  
Hope I get to evaluate this against my existing on a proper test.

Ever since someone told me how much difference a shaft makes I have been so curious to test out one of these! Good luck everyone! 

Would love a chance to see how any of the comparable shafts compare to my Mitsubishi Kai’li white 60x in my Cobra Aerojet LS. I would probably benefit from a switch to the DI, IZ, UB, or TP. The kai’li is pretty smooth for a white profile, but I know that GD has legendary feel. I wonder to what extent that added feel could improve dispersion without sacrificing the bombs. Appreciate the consideration!

Is the fitting chart on their "-asia" website the one to reference for shaft choices?  The latest model listed there has a 2018 year on the descriptor.

The VF came out last year or something because Tiger started using it and everyone went bonkers. 

Will testers be able to go for a fitting (shaft/head combination)?  If so, are there any approved fitters/places?  

Another great opportunity! Good luck all!

Great shafts, great opportunity. Thx Graphite Design & MGS. 

I’ve never tried a Graphite Design shaft but heard awesome things! Would be great to give it a twirl

Very interested to see how much difference a shaft change will make! 

This, and the other shaft tests, are so very intriguing.  Looking forward to the results and good luck to all applicants!

I've tested GD in the past but didn't go with it, don't think I gave it a fair chance. Good luck to you guys, let's learn something new.

good luck to all

Would be amazing to test one of these!

If you like - that is up to the selected testers. That said they will only be getting shaft that is tipped and gripped.

You would have to check your local areas for if they carry the shafts. 

For those interested here is the newest chart for stiffness I could find. Has the new CQ so should be good. 

I tried one of these and didn't give it a fair shake and went with a ventus tr velocore so hopefully get an opportunity to give it a true go.  Good luck to everyone.

I’ve yet to find a shaft I feel as comfortable with as I do with Ping’s Alta shafts. Id be curious to see how these shafts feel in comparison?

Good luck to everyone!  I've played the DI shaft for years now and love it!
