New 2014: Graphite Design G-Series Iron:
The G Series Iron shaft with X Directional Technology (XDT) is the next generation of premium Graphite Design shafts and is designed to be very adaptable to today’s vast iron head technology. The G Series Iron shafts performance characteristics favor a mid launch trajectory and low/mid ball spin and are available in a unitized .370” tip OD shaft configuration. The weights available are 73 grams in Athletic, Regular and Stiff flexes, 83 grams in Regular, Stiff and X-Stiff flexes and 93 grams in Regular, Stiff and X-Stiff flexes. X Directional Technology (XDT) incorporates the use of the already proven Graphite Design MSI (Material Stiffness Integration) design method as well as this new and unique application of graphite fiber ply angle alignment throughout the shaft structure.
