Mid Launch
Designed to produce a versatile mid-launch trajectory across the Tour AD UB family.
Up and Beyond
A stable, versatile wood-shaft profile engineered for mid launch, controlled spin and precise ball flight.
The Graphite Design Tour AD UBβUp and Beyondβis a premium graphite wood shaft designed to produce a controlled mid launch with mid to low-mid spin, depending on the selected weight and flex.
Its Medium+ butt section, Medium+ midsection and Stiff+ tip create a balanced profile that combines responsive feel with the stability needed for consistent clubhead delivery and precise ball control.
Designed and manufactured at Graphite Designβs factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD UB features a metallic-blue finish, silver fade through the tip section and black accents beneath a gloss clear coat.
Designed to produce a versatile mid-launch trajectory across the Tour AD UB family.
The UB-4 produces mid spin, while heavier UB models deliver low to low-mid spin characteristics.
The reinforced tip section supports clubhead stability and precise ball control through impact.
Available from the lightweight UB-4 through the heavier UB-8, with flexes ranging from R2 through TX.
A versatile option for golfers who want neither an exceptionally high nor especially low trajectory.
The Stiff+ tip helps stabilize the clubhead while the upper sections retain a responsive feel.
Multiple weight and flex combinations support driver and fairway-wood configurations.

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.
Contact Grater Golf for help selecting the appropriate Tour AD UB weight and flex or planning a professionally assembled driver or fairway-wood build.
