Professional Installation Recommended
The Tour AD F-Series is intended for fairway-wood applications. Graphite Design recommends consulting a PGA Professional or qualified club builder to determine the proper model, trimming and finished playing length.
Always leave at least 0.5" of the parallel tip section above the hosel. If the clubhead has a 1.5" bore depth and the shaft has a 3.0" parallel tip, tip trimming should not exceed 1.0".
Unless an installed option is specifically selected, this listing is for the shaft only. Clubhead, adapter, grip, ferrule, trimming and assembly are not included.
