MAD Wood Shafts

The team in the R&D lab at Graphite Design Japan went all out when designing the Graphite Design MAD wood shafts.  A challenge was issued to them to design a shaft that would alleviate the ill-fated golf ball flight issues that results in a lack of Maximum Accuracy and Distance.  Accepting the challenge, they went to work in an effort to develop a cure.

The Graphite Design MAD shaft is their response.  Available in two strengths, the Graphite Design MAD  Standard strength wood shafts are available in a 55g R and S Flex, 65g R and S Flex and a 70g S Flex and is designed for the intermediate to advanced players.  

The Graphite Design MAD PRO strength wood shafts are available in 65g S, X and TX Flex and 75g X and TX Flex and are designed for the advanced to professional players with higher swing speeds. 

Make an appointment with your local professional golf club fitter and request that he write you a prescription for a new Graphite Design MAD shaft to cure your ball flight issues that may be holding you back from achieving Maximum Accuracy and Distance.

  • Pro’s Choice encourages consulting a PGA Professional or qualified club builder to help you determine the correct shaft and length for your swing profile and to meet your goals.
  • Always leave a minimum of 0.5″ of the parallel tip section of the shaft above the hosel to maintain shaft durability and prevent shaft failure/breakage.  For example, if the head has a hosel bore depth of 1.5″ and the shaft has a parallel tip length of 3.0″, the tip trim length should not exceed 1.0″.
  • Improper installation may affect the intended performance of the shaft. Warranty is for material and workmanship of our products. Improper installation voids warranty of product.
