The Tour AD DI “DEEP IMPACT” is designed to provide golfers with more power and stability in their golf shaft. Designed and manufactured exclusively at the Graphite Design factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD DI orange and black colored options received a recent cosmetic and are available in 50g R2 (Lite), R1 (Regular) S and X flex, 60g SR (Stiff Regular), S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex, 70g S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex and 80g S, X and TX (Tour X-Stiff) flex. The unique shaft profile and designs of the Tour AD DI wood shafts remain exactly the same and only the cosmetics have been re-freshened.![]()

The Tour AD DI 5-R2, R1 and S flex, 6-SR, S and X flex, 7-S and X flex and 8-S and X are available in two color schemes orange with white bands and green rings and a 2nd color option of black with white bands and silver rings.

The Tour AD DI is our first shaft design that was integrated with Toray Company’s original NANOALLOY material technology in the tip section of the shaft. This material technology has now come to be known as “DI Technology”. This unique material technology promotes additionally shaft stability without the loss of feel and allows the player to create greater club head speed resulting in greater ball speed while still providing exceptional feel and control.![]()
![]()
The Tour AD DI also utilizes premium, aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber materials to provide the best performing shaft available. The softer mid-section bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet it maintains a firm enough tip section through impact promoting a high launch and low spin ball flight condition. The result, the Tour AD DI delivers players to the next level in shaft performance and will create a “DEEP IMPACT” on your game!

Are you able to convert pressure into energy, enthusiasm, or excitement during high-level tournaments?![]()
![]()
Golfers who choke under pressure usually make the moment bigger than it is. In other words, they assign more significance to big tournaments than other competitions.![]()
![]()
When you view a big event as important, you'll often feel more pressure, fear the possibility of failure, and experience a heightened level of anxiety. Fear and anxiety are the major contributors to choking.![]()
![]()
Think of it as the following equation:![]()
![]()
Fear of Failure + Increased Pressure = Anxiety + Choking![]()
![]()
For example, if you view a tournament as the most important competition of the year or a must-win, you will put more pressure on yourself. You will think, "I have to be my best. I worked hard all year for this tournament. If I don't perform well, my season will be wasted." You will think of all the people expecting you to achieve a personal best performance.![]()
![]()
That is a lot of pressure to put on yourself. Under these circumstances, your mind will be full of doubt, and your body will feel tight. Focusing will be difficult. Decision-making and reaction times will slow up. All these factors lead to choking.![]()
![]()
So, how can you perform better under pressure?![]()
![]()
You can prevent choking and perform better by changing your perspective about pressure or the importance of a competition, "This tournament is just another competition. I've been competing in this sport for years. I'm well-trained and prepared. A little pressure will help give me a boost of energy and improve my focus."![]()
![]()
The competition hasn't changed, but your perspective about the importance changed. Of course, weather and arena conditions may differ, but most aspects of the tournamnet remain the same.![]()
![]()
A shift in perspective changes your thoughts and emotions and fuels performance. ![]()
![]()
Maintaining perspective, thinking of your skills, and preparation foster positive emotions, helping you manage pressure. These conditions foster peak performance.![]()
![]()
Handling Pressure in High-Level Tournaments![]()
![]()
Don't wait until you arrive at an event to cope with pressure. Getting ready for a major competition requires the mental work ahead of time. ![]()
![]()
Start by anticipating what you might feel in this event? What are the emotions you might have? What are the challenges you can anticipate?![]()
![]()
Next, how will you cope with these challenges and emotions. For example, if you have to play in extreme cold or warm conditions, how will you cope with this?![]()
![]()
A prepared mind will help you manage pressure and perform at your peak.![]()
