Graphite Design Tour AD BB Shaft Review

Introduction.

The 2024 Graphite Design Tour AD BB is a high-performance golf shaft designed for players who want to achieve a low launch and low spin. It is made from premium materials and features a unique construction that provides a combination of power, control, and feel.

Table of Contents

The Tour AD BB is available in a variety of weights and flexes to fit a wide range of golfers. It is a popular choice for Tour players, as well as amateur golfers who are looking for a shaft that can help them improve their game.

Model Breakdown

There are currently 4 models of the Graphite Design Tour AD BB shaft:

Tour AD BB 50

This is the lightest model of the Tour AD BB shaft, and it is designed for golfers with slower swing speeds. It is available in R2, R1, and S flexes.

Tour AD BB 60

This is the mid-weight model of the Tour AD BB shaft, and it is designed for golfers with average swing speeds. It is available in SR, S, and X flexes.

Graphite Design Tour AD BB Golf Shaft Review

Graphite designs tour ad bb, by russ ryden, a golf digest america’s 100 best clubfitter fit2score, dallas fort worth, texas.

The Graphite Design Tour AD BB was introduced in 2012. It is a modification of the Tour AD DJ , designed to deliver a lower launch. Range testing has validated what we can plainly see in the EI profiles. The TourAD DJ was the second in the series of the TourAD shafts from Graphite Design. Like the BB, it was a change from the original TourAD DI . Because of the long term popularity of the Graphite Design AD BB I updated the measurements to make hoop deformation correction to the EI profile.

HZRDUS Black 75 vs. Tour AD BB 7 - Launch and spin?

By BDoubleG November 24, 2016 in WRX Club Techs

Hey everyone,

I finally made the switch from my 910D2 to a 917D2 with the D+ Limited 70 stiff, and while I'm happy with it, I feel that I am leaving some yards on the table since I'm getting a little more spin than I'd like.

I'm looking at picking up a stouter, lower-launching shaft and I'm considering the Tour AD BB 7S and the HZRDUS Black 6.0 75g. I've hit the HZRDUS that comes with the King Ltd. (so it's not a hand crafted version...not sure if i'd notice a difference there), but I've only had a chance to hit the AD DI 6s, which I found a little looser than I'd like.

I know the easy answer here is "go get fit", but in the interest of going into a fitting with an educated opinion, has anyone had any experience comparing these shafts? I know the HZRDUS has a reputation as a low/low bomber...is it that much lower spin than the BB? Thanks so much!

Both are very similar. I found lower spin with the bb. Also feel was way better with the bb

I have hit the handcrafted HZRDUS 75 black and the Ad GP 7 both in x flex and ended up with the HZRDUS. With the Ad GP I get like I had to swing out of my shoes to get it loaded properly.

Another shaft you may look at that I really like is the Oban Devotion 7. I currently have the Oban in play but also have the HZRDUS Black that will get bag time as well.

For the price of the Oban or HZRDUS it is hard to beat either.

The funny thing is that I have a line on both of these shafts, and the Tour BB is actually considerably cheaper than the HZRDUS I'm considering, so that may be a factor...

I played the BB 7x for over a year and switched to the Black in the spring. For me there was less spin, lower launch with the HZRDUS. More stable. Much better dispersion.

I loved the BB but the Black is the best shaft I've played. I have both the HC and non and see no difference between them. I think the BB can be dialed in a bit with the right tipping.

Shaft Test: Graphite Design’s new Tour AD-TP versus the famous Tour AD-DI

With a similar profile to the company’s famous Tour AD-DI shaft, and a few new technologies for a slightly different ball flight, Graphite Design’s new Tour AD-TP shaft will surely entice a legion of high-spin golfers.

The new shafts are made for a mid launch and low spin rates, according to Graphite Design’s website, while the Tour AD-DI shafts are made for mid/high to high launch angles and low to low/mid spin rates. Certainly, they are in the same wheelhouse, but for anyone looking to create a slightly more penetrating ball flight with lower launch and lower spin, the new shaft could be their winning ticket.

To accomplish its performance, the AD-TP shafts are made with a faster taper rate from the lower-mid section to the tip of the shaft, and use an all-new graphite material from Toray Industries called T1100G carbon fiber pre-preg. They also use Toray’s Nanoalloy technology in the tip section, which was first introduced in Graphite Design’s Tour AD-DI. It help golfers gain more control of the club face by resisting torque.  Read more about the Tour AD-TP shaft’s tech here .

Here’s the bend profile of the Tour AD-TP shafts, according to Graphite Design’s website:

And here’s how the Tour AD-TP shafts stack up versus the other Tour AD shafts:

As you can see, the Tour AD-TP (top row) compared to the Tour AD-DI (bottom row) will have a firmer mid and butt section, but will also have the familiar stiff tip section.

Personally, I’ve tested just about every new mainstream driver shaft that’s come out in the past three years, and I just haven’t been able to find something that matches my swing like the Tour AD-DI. As a golfer who fights a nasty hook and too much spin, it’s the stiffness and stability of the tip of the shaft that makes me comfortable enough to “go at it.” I’m also a Mets fan, so I like the orange color.

But for whatever reason, my golfing brain finds other shafts to load and unload way differently, either forcing me to flip or block drives, leading to tragic results. So although I often test the latest and greatest golf shafts for you, the GolfWRX readers, I’ve all but given up on other shafts making it into my gamer driver. Yes, other shafts have given me “more optimal” numbers in a Trackman environment, but there’s nothing optimal about feeling like you’re going to duck hook the ball off the planet with OB stakes left.

When Graphite Design announced a new shaft with a similar profile that’s made to create a slightly more penetrating trajectory, however, I’ll admit I was excited to try it. Let’s see how the numbers played out.

The Numbers

I tested my Tour AD-DI gamer shaft (45.5 inches, tipped 1 inch) against a Tour AD-TP shaft (45.5 inches, untipped) and a Tour AD-TP shaft (45.5 inches, tipped 1 inch) in a TaylorMade M1 460 head (10.5 degrees) set to neutral. Yes, I have a bit more swing speed in the tank than displayed below, but it’s also late October and I don’t want to have a blown out back all winter. I conducted my testing at the Launch Pad at Carl’s Golfland on TrackMan 4 using premium golf balls.

Magenta = Tour AD-TP (tipped 1 inch)

Observations

— Shots with the un-tipped shaft trended to the right. It felt like the face was opening on the downswing and I couldn’t turn my shots over. The data solidifies for me that performance matches my feel, and that I do indeed need a tipped shaft.

— The AD-DI shaft had the highest spin (2953 rpm), highest landing angle, most height (122.1 feet) and launched the highest (13.7 degrees).

— The AD-TP (tipped 1 inch) carried 4.9 yards shorter than the Tour AD-DI, but went 3.7 yards longer in total. This shows how much more penetrating the ball flight with a AD-TP shaft can be.

— Spin rate dropped from 2953 rpm with the Tour AD-DI (tipped 1 inch) to 2460 rpm with the AD-TP (tipped 1 inch).

— With nearly identical clubhead speed, ball speed and smash factors, it’s clear the Tour AD-TP was offering better numbers and tighter dispersion for me.

The Takeaway

The Graphite Design Tour AD-TP shaft is currently selling for $500 at retail. Based on the improvement I saw in my numbers, I would say that the new shaft is worth the value for my swing. The profile and new materials are a match for me in regards to ball flight characteristics and feel. I would describe the feel as “smooth-stiff, with a stable tip.”

Of course, it’s important to undergo a proper fitting, as you saw that the un-tipped version of the Tour AD-GP shaft was giving me fits. But, if you’re like me and struggle with high spin rates and inconsistency, the Tour AD-TP shaft may help you find more accuracy… and a bit more distance, too.

Andrew, the author of this review, comments about hitting duck hooks because that is his miss when he uses a shaft that doesn’t “fit” his swing style. It is the same issue I fight. The fact he has peppered the right side of the grid would be comforting for him. All in all, Andrew fits the new TP shaft pretty well.

Oct 30, 2016 at 11:57 pm

Some shafts get progressively weaker to the tip (Rogue, AD-DI), many increase stiffness into the tip (most other GD tour AD models, Kuro Kage) To assume all shafts need to be tipped just seems uninformed. Tipping off stiffness in a shaft like a AD-BB is just going to lower the kick point and give you a softer tip; exact opposite of tipping a AD-DI.

Oct 30, 2016 at 11:05 pm

Wow the author tried really hard to say this is better. The chart looks pretty much the same for all three shafts as far as landing zone. Just one leftward (I’m guess more of a hook) shot skewed the oval left. Unless he’s a left hander, none of his shots were hooks, rather either push or slices. Strange for him to say that he’s fighting a hook when he didn’t hit any.

The real difference does seem to be one offering more roll and one more carry due to launch angle changes I’m guessing due to the stiffer mid and butt sections. Worth it? The argument seems a bit thin.

2024 taylormade p770 review: club junkie reviews.

About the TaylorMade P770 irons: Using multi-piece construction like its P790 sibling, the P770 irons combine distance and forgiveness in a more compact players iron. The P770 irons are forged for the soft feel better players demand, yet each head is designed with FLTD CG to ensure the launch and spin is improved. TaylorMade’s 2024 P770 irons are the most consistent and highest-performing they have ever made.

TaylorMade P770 iron review

Looks & feel.

What makes the P770 so special over the generations is that it takes the great performance from the P790 irons and stuffs it into a much smaller package. I love the looks of the new P770 irons, as TaylorMade has reduced the offset and made the leading edge straighter compared to the previous version.

From address, the topline is thin and it looks like the blade length is just slightly shorter on the 2024 model. I have to say that the simple graphics on the back is also nice with a very blade-like look.

Feel on the new P770 is soft, yet slightly firmer than I expected on solidly struck shots. The feel is still good and very responsive, allowing you to really feel where you struck the shot on the clubface. Those center strikes are very powerful and you can feel the club propelling the ball off the face for more distance.

Turf interaction is very good and the irons offer a shallow to medium divot in some very soft midwest conditions. With those divots, the P770 gets through the turf fairly quickly. The sole seems pretty versatile and should work with players on firmer turf as well.

Performance

Out on the course, the P770 inspires confidence in the look and shape, giving me the feeling that I don’t have to make the perfect strike to get a good result. Well-struck shots had a great mid/high ball flight that went through the entire set. The long irons were easier to launch than I expected and I hit some really solid 5 irons that stopped on the green with pretty minimal run out. Misses off the toe held onto a good amount of ball speed and would end up at the front of the green or just in the short rough but not putting you in too tough of a situation.

The mid and short irons flew a little flatter while still getting high in the air and allowing you to stop them immediately on the green. From 7-iron down, I felt like you could flight the ball lower easily for hitting shots into the wind or to get through shots with trees in the way. These P770 irons seem to produce enough spin as well since I noticed fewer flyers out of rough lies.

Distance control is always a topic with these players distance irons but I felt in control of shots through all the rounds I have played with them over the past month. Forgiveness is also very high on these compact irons and the ball will still travel on a good line when you don’t swing it perfectly. I hit more than a few shots poorly that went straighter and farther than I expected.

Final thought

If you are a player who wants a little bit of everything out of your iron but don’t want a larger clubhead, then the new P770 irons could be for you. TaylorMade did a great job of combining distance, control, and forgiveness in great, smaller package. As my handicap has risen this summer, these irons have helped me play a little better golf without having to move to a larger club.

Sentry Winner Played Graphite Design Tour AD BB-7 X-Stiff Flex Shaft

January 8, 2019

Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winner of the Sentry Tournament of Champions held at the Plantation Course at Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD BB-7 X-Stiff flex wood shaft in his Callaway Epic Flash Driver and a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-8 X-Stiff flex wood shaft in each of his Callaway Rogue #3 and #5 fairway metal woods. The champion won with a -23 under par 269, to include a course tying round of -11 under par 62 on Sunday that included 2 eagles.

“Congratulations to the 2019 Sentry Tournament of Champions winner, the accuracy and distance displayed off the tees in Maui was impressive for the first win of 2019”, stated Erik Boysen, V.P. of Tour Promotions, Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc.

The Tour AD BB “Blue Bullet” wood shaft model is designed to promote a low/mid launch angle and lower ball spin. Designed and manufactured exclusively at the Graphite Design factory headquarters in Japan, the Tour AD BB is available in 50g R2(Lite), R1(Regular) and S flex, 60g SR(Stiff Regular), S and X flex, 70g S and X flex and 80g S and X flex.

The Tour AD BB utilizes premium, aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber materials to provide the best performing shaft available as well as the Toray Company’s 1st generation of NANOALLOY material technology known as “DI Technology” in the tip section of the shaft. The Tour AD BB design features an increase in stiffness from the tip to the mid-section resulting in a higher kick point for lower launch angles. The end result is a tighter shot pattern and an increase in ball speed. If you are looking for an increase in Accuracy and Distance, give the Tour AD BB “Blue Bullet” a try today.

Revolutionary technology, design and the most advanced materials are trademarks in all Graphite Design shafts, making them the highest quality premium golf shafts on the market today. Validating the company’s “Tour AD” logo, all of Graphite Design’s PGA Tour-proven shafts are specifically designed to promote a gain in Accuracy and Distance.
