Professional Fitting and Installation Recommended
Graphite Design recommends consulting a PGA Professional or qualified club builder to determine the proper weight, flex, trimming and finished playing length.
Always leave at least 0.5" of parallel tip section above the hosel. Improper trimming or installation can affect performance, durability and warranty coverage.
Unless an installed option is specifically selected, this listing is for the shaft only. Clubhead, adapter, grip, ferrule, trimming and assembly are not included.
