Best graphite wood shaft of 2025: The top 5

5. Graphite Design Tour AD DI: 5.54%

Graphite Design’s pitch: “The Tour AD DI is our first shaft design that was integrated with Toray Company’s original NANOALLOY material technology in the tip section of the shaft. This material technology has now come to be known as “DI Technology”. This unique material technology promotes additionally shaft stability without the loss of feel and allows the player to create greater club head speed resulting in greater ball speed while still providing exceptional feel and control. The Tour AD DI also utilizes premium, aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber materials to provide the best performing shaft available. The softer mid-section bend profile of the Tour AD DI allows the player to load the shaft properly, yet it maintains a firm enough tip section through impact, promoting a high launch and low spin ball flight condition.”

4. Fujikura Ventus Red VeloCore+: 5.83%

Fujikura’s pitch: “VeloCore+ is the next generation of Fujikura’s ground-breaking proprietary technology. The technology is designed for ultimate clubhead stabilization and promotes consistent center-face contact, tightening dispersion and increasing control of the club throughout the swing. Featuring a re-engineered multi-material bias core, VeloCore+ enhances the feel and performance of Ventus with an additional premium bias core material, promoting even tighter dispersion and increased ball speeds. Designed for golfers seeking a mid-high launch and spin profile. Ideal for players who desire a higher ball flight with ultimate stability.”

3. Mitsubishi Diamana WB: 7.29%

Mitsubishi’s pitch: “Diamana WB is designed with all the distinctive branding that made Diamana so beloved — including flowers in the handle section, a surfboard behind the Diamana logo, and return to the original 53/63/73/83 weight class designations — but, rest assured, the only thing throwback about Diamana WB is its appearance. Indeed, super high-modulus 80-ton Dialead Pitch Fiber is used in the butt section to deliver maximum stability and increased energy transfer and high modulus 46-ton fiber is used in the shaft’s angle plies to reduce torque without increasing weight for improved control and stability. Carbon fiber orientation at the tip section is optimized to further lower torque.”

The incorporation of the Treca M40X material at the grip end minimizes lag and wobble, allowing you to effortlessly deliver powerful and sharp swings. With its enhanced ability to snap back into position, the Tour AD VF Shaft enables smooth transitions, making it exceptionally adept at handling forceful follow-throughs and precise snapbacks, all while maintaining impeccable timing.”
