I received Graphite Designs Tour AD GC shaft before the release. That gave me time to measure it and get player feedback before the scheduled release.
This is the sixth shaft from Graphite Design to use Torayca M40X in the butt section of the shaft. This is a high tensile strength and high modulus fiber prepreg. This means the shaft will exhibit more elasticity where the M40X material is applied. In comparing the models that have this material to those that don’t, I see reduced hoop deformation in the handle.

Mitsubishi Kai’li Red Fairway Shaft Review
Mitsubishi Kai’li Red FW Shaft Review

The Kai’li Red FW is a close profile match the the Mitsubishi Thump F shaft that has been in my bag for years. This shaft has been offered by TaylorMade since 2002. In the 2004 custom shaft list, it is still available at no upcharge. the real beauty of this shaft is that it is a profile match to the Mitsubishi Diamana T+ which I just reviewed. It is offered in heavier weights than the T+ and therefore is a great fairway compliment to the Diamana T+ driver shaft.
