Xtra Carry
Graphite Design Tour AD XC Wood Shaft
A stable mid-to-tip profile engineered for penetrating launch, controlled low spin and precise ball flight.
Stable Control With Responsive Handle Feel
The Graphite Design Tour AD XC—Xtra Carry—is a premium graphite wood shaft designed to produce a controlled mid to low-mid launch with low to low-mid spin, depending on the selected model and flex.
Its soft butt section, stiff midsection and stiff tip create a distinctive profile that provides loading feel in the handle while maintaining stability closer to the clubhead. This combination is designed to support controlled energy transfer and precise ball flight.
Designed and manufactured at Graphite Design’s factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD XC features a black finish with silver and red accents, a silver-faded tip and a matte clear coat.
Low Spin
Designed to control excess spin and support a strong, penetrating trajectory when properly fitted.
Stable Mid and Tip
Stiff mid and tip sections help stabilize the clubhead for consistent delivery and precise ball control.
Broad Model Range
Available from the lightweight XC-4 through the heavier XC-8 with flexes ranging from R2 through TX.
Who Is the Tour AD XC For?
Players Seeking Lower Spin
A strong option for golfers who generate excessive driver spin or prefer a penetrating trajectory.
Golfers Who Like Handle Load
The softer butt section provides loading sensation while the firmer lower section maintains stability.
Players Seeking Tip Control
A stiff tip section supports consistent clubhead delivery for golfers who want responsive feel without a loose tip.

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.
