Exceptional Feel & Unrivalled Stability – Graphite Design Custom Shafts Are Here!
Exceptional feel and unrivalled stability are just two of many factors that we want to offer our customers in a fitting session.
Every club we offer comes standard with stock shafts which will all hold their own attributes from different kick points and torque rates, but when it’s time to really up the feel and consistency in the contact, looking at a custom shaft can offer the perfect solution to better ball striking and consistent in flight.
At AFGolfStore, we have always had the option to offer a custom shaft over standard stock, however, up until now it is not been a topic we have shouted about due to our limited access in fittings.
However, with the introduction of new custom shafts to our workshop and fitting studios, such as the incoming LAGP shafts and now the Graphite Design Tour AD shafts we have a great selection to ensure our customers seeking a higher profile custom shaft have the options to try at their disposal.
