The Game Changer
Graphite Design Tour AD GC Wood Shaft
Smooth, stable performance engineered for a controlled mid launch, optimized spin and precise ball control.
Change the Way Your Woods Perform
The Graphite Design Tour AD GC—Game Changer—is a premium graphite wood shaft engineered to provide a controlled mid launch, optimized spin, smooth feel and precise clubhead delivery.
Its profile combines a stiff butt section, firm center section and Firm+ tip. This produces a stable yet smooth-loading platform designed for consistent energy transfer through impact.
Designed and manufactured at Graphite Design’s factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD GC features a pearl-white finish with bronze and orange accents beneath a gloss clear coat.
Optimized Spin
The GC-4 produces mid spin, while most heavier models deliver low-mid spin characteristics.
Stable Ball Control
TORAYCA T1100G in the tip section supports stability and precise control without sacrificing feel.
Broad Model Range
Available from the lightweight GC-4 through the heavier GC-8, with flexes ranging from R2 through TX.

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 manufacturer 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.
