Introducing the "TOUR AD Lia," the lightest model in Graphite Design's acclaimed TOUR AD series. This innovative carbon shaft redefines the image of conventional lightweight shafts, which are often perceived as "unreliable" or "too soft," despite its light weight.
By adopting the latest "AD SHIELD" technology, it suppresses shaft deformation during the swing and optimizes the overall rigidity balance. It achieves both the easy swing-through of a lightweight shaft and a solid feel at impact. The full lineup, from woods to irons, allows for a consistent feel across all clubs, enabling confident swings throughout the round.
It's ideal for golfers with slower head speeds or those who find standard ladies' or seniors' shafts insufficient. Designed to cater to a wide range of players, from beginners to advanced, it aims to deliver both a smooth swing feel and excellent distance performance.
The TOUR AD Lia, the next-generation "light and strong" carbon shaft that allows you to swing effortlessly and achieve distance, will elevate your golf game to a new level.
<PRGR Irons: The Ultimate Combo>
Simply put, an "iron combo set" is a club setup that combines different models of irons within a single set.
While it was once common to use the same model from 5-iron to PW, in recent years, a trend has emerged among tour professionals:
"Long to mid-irons prioritize ease of use, while short irons prioritize workability."
1. Why are "combo sets" so popular?
There are two main reasons:
The evolution of ball performance and changes in green conditions.
Increasing difficulty of long irons
Modern golf balls are designed to reduce spin in order to increase distance performance.
As a result, with conventional muscle-back (01 series) long irons, even professional head speeds can struggle to get the ball airborne, and a lack of spin often makes it difficult to stop the ball on the green.
Shift in role from "hitting far" to "stopping the ball"
For professionals, long irons (4-5 iron) are not just about gaining distance.
They are clubs designed to attack the pin with a high trajectory and stop the ball firmly on the green.
Therefore, there's an increasing trend to combine highly forgiving models for long to mid-irons, featuring designs with thicker soles and hollow structures.
2. If you're building a PRGR set, what's recommended?
The PRGR 01-02 series is actually a very easy lineup to create a combo setting with.
Classic Athlete Combo: 01 × 02
・4-6 Iron: 02 IRON (easy to hit high and far)
・7 Iron - PW: 01 IRON (prioritizes workability and feel)
Key points
Since the flow is to combine the 7-iron of the 01 series (32° loft) with the 6-iron of the 02 series (28°),
the loft progression is natural, and the difference in feel is minimal, allowing for a comfortable combo setting.
