Smooth, Easy-Launching Performance
Confidence from Long Range
The Tour AD HY is designed and manufactured at Graphite Designβs factory headquarters in Japan. Inspired by the Tour AD DI Hybrid profile, the HY is softer through the midsection and tip with a slightly firmer handle to promote a higher ball flight.
Its smooth, easy-loading design helps golfers launch hybrids more effectively while maintaining the accuracy and distance associated with the Tour AD family.

Tour AD HY Bend Profile

Standard-Bore Tip-Trimming Guide
These are Graphite Designβs standard recommendations. Bore depth, clubhead design and fitting requirements can affect final preparation.
| 15Β°β18Β° | 19Β°β22Β° | 23Β°β26Β° | 27Β°+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0" | 0.5" | 1.0" | 1.0" |
Always leave at least 0.5" of parallel tip section above the hosel. With a 1.5" bore depth and 3.0" parallel-tip section, tip trimming should not exceed 1.0".
Professional Fitting and Installation Recommended
Shaft weight, flex, trimming, finished length and installation affect launch, spin, feel and durability. Contact Grater Golf for assistance selecting the correct Tour AD HY or configuring a custom hybrid or driving-iron build.
Shaft only unless a custom build is selected. Clubhead, adapter and grip are not included unless specifically shown as part of the selected configuration. Manufacturer specifications may vary slightly due to normal production tolerances.
