Controlled Launch
The XC-4 produces a mid launch, while heavier XC models are designed for low-mid launch.
Xtra Carry
A stable mid-to-tip profile engineered for penetrating launch, controlled low spin and precise ball flight.
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.
The XC-4 produces a mid launch, while heavier XC models are designed for low-mid launch.
Designed to control excess spin and support a strong, penetrating trajectory when properly fitted.
Stiff mid and tip sections help stabilize the clubhead for consistent delivery and precise ball control.
Available from the lightweight XC-4 through the heavier XC-8 with flexes ranging from R2 through TX.
A strong option for golfers who generate excessive driver spin or prefer a penetrating trajectory.
The softer butt section provides loading sensation while the firmer lower section maintains stability.
A stiff tip section supports consistent clubhead delivery for golfers who want responsive feel without a loose tip.
| Models | Butt Section | Mid Section | Tip Section |
|---|---|---|---|
| XC-4, XC-5, XC-6, XC-7 and XC-8 | Soft | Stiff | Stiff |
Premium Material Technology
TORAYCA M40X and T1100G carbon-fiber materials strengthen the Tour AD XC from the midsection through the tip to support stability and ball control while retaining a responsive handle section.
High-modulus carbon fiber in the mid-to-tip section supports stiffness tuning and structural stability.
Ultra-high-modulus carbon fiber with NANOALLOY technology reinforces the tip for increased stability, control and feel.
Ultra-premium aerospace-quality materials support strength, consistency and precise construction.
Material Stiffness Integration strategically combines materials to create the intended bend profile, stability and feel.

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 XC weight and flex or planning a professionally assembled driver or fairway-wood build.
