Graphite Design Tour AD DI

New for 2010 from Golf Shafts Asia, Graphite Design introduces the Tour AD DI - DEEP IMPACT shaft designed to provide more power and stability. The Tour AD DI manufactured exclusively at Graphite Design Japan has been integrated with Toray Company’s new Nanomaterial technology in the tip section of the shaft.


This unique technology allows the player to create an epic IMPACT on ball speed while still providing exceptional feel and control. The mid bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet maintains a firm enough tip section through IMPACT producing optimal spin and launch conditions.

Result, the Graphite Design Tour AD DI will deliver players to the next level in shaft performance and impress an epic IMPACT on your game! The Tour AD DI shaft carries the Tour AD moniker which stands for Tour Accuracy and Distance and has long been known for high quality and superior performance. This is represented by the company’s success that has been documented by professionals and amateurs alike. Graphite Design is the most dominant shaft on the JPGA Tour and has been for the past seven years.

Miyazaki Golf Shafts

If you are planning on becoming the next Tiger Woods the first thing you might consider is getting some new golf clubs fitted with miyazaki golf shafts. Choosing the right golf clubs can make the difference between spending your time on the fairways and greens and spending your time in the rough. Although famed golfer Ben Hogan once said, "The only thing a golfer needs is more daylight", for my money, having the right set of golf clubs runs this a close second.

Lets assume you aren't a pro. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't be here; you'd be out perfecting that already outstanding golf swing. For the amateur golfer, choosing the right golf clubs hinges on two factors - distance and accuracy - and, of these, accuracy is the more important. The ability to hit the ball half-way across town may sound great, but if you can't keep it on the fairway, out of the bunkers, and heading for the flag, then all the distance in the world isn't going to help your game. So, the starting point for all of us needs to be accuracy. Once the ball starts going just where we want it to go with reasonable consistency we can start working on building distance.

Of course, cost can be a big issue when choosing a new set of clubs fitted with Miyazaki golf shatfs, but since that's a personal conversation between you your wallet - and maybe your spouse - we won't cover it here. Don't forget though that you don't need to buy tailor-made golf clubs and that a good starting point may well be one of the many outlets for discount golf equipment. Another good starting point is to look at pre-owned golf clubs.

Begin by analyzing what's going to best fit your needs. The primary set of clubs in every golfer's bag is the irons, so that's what I'm going to concentrate on here. Irons have several characteristics to consider when you're choosing golf clubs.

The first thing to look at is the method of manufacture. Irons are normally made either by casting or forging. For the novice golfer cast irons are generally better because they have a bigger sweet spot on the club face. The sweet spot is the area on the club face that you want to contact the ball and, as a general rule, the larger the sweet spot the greater the room for error in your swing. In other words, with a large sweet spot you can miss hitting the ball directly on the center of the club face and still end up with a decent shot. Forged irons are better for more advanced golfers because they allow for better control of trajectory, allowing you to hit the ball at a desired angle to get the height necessary for the result you want.

The next thing to consider is the size of the head. As a novice golfer, you'll find a definite trade-off here. A bigger head equals a bigger sweet spot and more tolerance of miss-hits. However, at the same time, a bigger head is also a little harder to control. You'll probably want to start with a set of irons with medium-sized heads. They're easier to control than the oversized-heads, but they still have a bigger sweet spot than the traditional, smaller heads.

Bet you didn't know there were this many factors to choosing the right set of golf clubs! Well, I'm not quite done yet.

Another factor to think about when choosing golf clubs is what the head is made of - cast iron, stainless steel, or titanium. Titanium heads are best for novice golfers as this light material allows for a bigger head, without making the club too heavy. Bigger head equals bigger sweet spot! If the cost of titanium heads is beyond your wallet's reach, then consider cast iron rather than steel. They're durable and the harder material can help improve both accuracy and consistency.

Swing speed is also important in deciding upon the right golf clubs fitted with Miyazaki Golf Shafts. Golfers with lower swing speeds can benefit from more flexible graphite shafts that are a bit longer and lighter. With a higher swing speed, it's more likely you want to focus on accuracy, so stiffer and heavier steel shafts can help you develop that accurate ball placement that gets your name on the leader board.

Fujikura Golf Shafts Asia

Fujikura Speeder golf shafts from Golf Shafts Asia have been one of the most successful golf shafts on the PGA Tour in the last decade. Fujikura Golf Shafts Asia has taken this overwhelming success and given it to the weekend golfer offering a number of models sure to fit your game and swing. Here's a few reasons why the Speeder shaft is so popular and how it might help you increase the distance in your drive.

Fujikura's proprietary Triax technology is at the middle of the Speeder Series shafts. Triax is a carbon fiber woven in honeycomb structure giving the shaft extraordinary capabilities. The end result is a golf shaft better able to withstand the forces of twisting experienced during the swing. This provides much more consistency, better vibration dampening and an incredible enhancement of energy transfer at impact. The Triax technology is what made the Speeder series such a highly touted shaft over recent years.


What makes the Speeder series so successful with the recreational player is the diversity Fujikura has offered. The Speeder Series is now available in five different models identified by desired weight, spin, launch and bend points. These models include the Fujikura Speeder 569, 586, 652, 686, and 757 models.

The Fujikura 569 and 586 Speeder shafts are the lightest of the Speeder series, ranging from 56 to 61 grams. Designed for the better than average player looking for higher spin, higher launch and a low to mid bend point.

The Fujikura 652 and 686 Speeder shafts are slightly heavier than the 569 and 586 shafts coming in at 65 to 70 grams. Designed for the better player and slightly faster swing speeds seeking mid spin, mid launch and a mid bend point.

The Fujikura 757 Speeder shaft is the flagship of the Speeder series. This shaft is what made the Speeder what it is today, a highly popular shaft designed primarily for the better player. The 757 is the heaviest Speeder coming in at 77 to 82 grams. Designed for the accomplished player seeking a low, penetrating ball flight with low spin and low to mid launch with a mid to high bend point. The 757 Speeder is truly a shaft for the most discernible golfer.

The Fujikura Speeder has a very large following and is responsible for much of the success Fujikura has experienced over the years. The Triax technology has pushed this shaft to a level of success experienced by few shaft makers. The wider range of Speeder shafts now makes it accessible for more golfers to experience the great Speeder shaft. If you plan on upgrading shafts in the near future, put the Speeder shaft on your short list. Buy Fujikura golf shafts from Golf Shafts Asia - Asia's leading supplier of premium golf shafts.

Aldila reports readying to launch new En Fuego shaft series

POWAY, Calif. -- After undergoing successful Tour testing Aldila, the #1 shaft on Tour and makers of "The Hottest Shafts In Golf," will begin shipping their new En Fuego™ Series Oct. 1.

The En Fuego™ Series features three innovative shaft designs each with a higher center of gravity geared toward today's modern club head designs. Each shaft in the series promotes a different ball flight, Serrano™ - a low to mid launch shaft, Wasabi™ - a mid launch shaft and Habanero™ - a mid to high launch shaft. Each model will be available in Regular, Stiff and X-stiff flexes.

"The three unique new shaft designs feature balance, weight, torque and flex properties which are all designed to maximize the energy of your swing," said Mike Rossi, Aldila's Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Each En Fuego™ shaft will feature Aldila's revolutionary Micro Laminate Technology®, first offered in the Aldila NV™, which provides players enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel. The dampening advantages of the Micro Laminate Technology have eliminated distracting and destructive "shock" for superior feel and playability.

Each model in the En Fuego™ Series has a suggested retail price of $99 and will be available for purchase through leading distributors and through the Aldila store at www.aldilastore.com.

Aldila Takes Dubai World Championship

Europe’s new #1 golfer trusted the accuracy, reliability and increased distance of Aldila’s #1 shaft, the VooDoo®, in his Driver to help him lock up the Dubai World Championship title by six strokes Sunday. In the final round, he shot a course record 8-under 64 to finish with a 23-under 265 total. His 31st victory of his career helped him secure the European Tour’s first Race to Dubai title. He had won the title of Europe’s Top Golfer in 2000 when it was known as the European Order of Merit.


He ranks 2nd in Total Driving Average on the European Tour and finished 9th in Driving Distance with an average of 299.8 yards. His longest drive of the year was 363 yards. He ranks 53rd in Driving Accuracy with a 64.3% average. In 2009, he played 26 events on the European Tour finishing five times in the Top 10 including wins at the Portugal Masters and the Dubai World Championship. “We are pleased that players continue to show their confidence in Aldila’s shaft technology to consistently perform in these world-class events,” said Stewart Bahl Aldila’s Marketing Manager. “It’s exciting to see more and more VooDoo shafts in play week in and week out on all the Tours as the pros continue to rely on the patent-pending S-core Technology™ in Aldila’s VooDoo shaft.

S-core, or stabilized, core is designed to maximize distance and provide outstanding accuracy. The VooDoo has a one-piece high modulus carbon stabilization rib running the length of the shaft. This innovative rib structure keeps the shaft more concentric, preventing shaft ovaling, deformation and wasted energy during the golf swing. Because the shaft’s symmetry is maintained throughout the swing, it loads and unloads more consistently, enabling players to more reliably deliver the club head to the ball every swing.

GS95 ends search for lightweight steel shaft

The original lightweight steel shafts weren’t so light and weren’t so good. They felt brittle. They felt harsh. Skilled players largely stayed away from them, and the 130-gram True Temper Dynamic remained the industry standard.

The search for a great steel iron shaft weighing less than 100 grams continued, though, and eventually Nippon solved the puzzle with the 95-gram NS Pro 950. This steel alloy shaft is used by many skilled players as well as those with higher handicaps.

Lightweight steel shafts from True Temper have grown better and better. The Dynamic Gold SL (SuperLight) shaft, for example, weighs about 106 grams.


Now True Temper has unveiled its best and most versatile lightweight steel offering, the new GS95. A variety of golfers should be attracted to this shaft.

The mission here was to design a shaft that performs like steel but feels like graphite. Easier said than done, but the True Temper GS95 available at www,golfshaftsasia.com is an extraordinary shaft, particularly for golfers who want to hit higher iron shots.

The constant-weight shaft (95 grams for every iron) is available in parallel-tip and taper-tip versions. It is a stock option on Mizuno’s new MX-1000 Hot Metal irons.

The most impressive number in modern iron shafts is 95, whether it is Nippon’s NS 950 or True Temper’s GS95.

The retail price of the GS95 from aftermarket suppliers is about $19 per shaft. Get more information about True Temper Golf Shafts from www.golfshaftasia.com
