GRAPHITE DESIGN ANTI-GRAVITY & “GAME CHANGER” DRIVER SHAFTS

[@ryanbarath1916]

Big thumbs up for the intro alone!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@noodle3872]

Ian’s “always open” to trying new products is a teeny tiny understatement! Lol

[@wigib2]

That intro was great! 😂

[@Kevin-yh6dn]

If I hit my driver with the AG33-3 Anti-Gravity shaft like Ian just did, when I was done I would have to go have a smoke. Straight 300+. Count me in.

[@chrishartman5383]

I love anytime you guys test the light shafts. I managed to get myself into a Grand Bassara 29R for about $20, as it came in a TM M4 I bought, swapped shafts, and have that shaft in my G425 now. I've really started to love building up clubs with light shafts.

[@CrispyGFX]

Brilliant intro. Glad you guys can have fun.

[@wrbilotta]

Just tried this in a GT3 head, R shaft at 45 inches. 67 yrs old losing club head speed now at 90 to 93 mph (4 to 5 Hip). This combo is super fast and straight. Very excited about this shaft.

[@gSF95]

Best intro in channel history 😂😂😂

[@mikec.2314]

I LOVE the idea of a lighter weight and softer shaft for some easy swinging power. Those of us in the 50+ crowd could reduce alot of the aches and pains associated with the required speed required to make stiffer / heavier shafts function. I have a $80 45g Graffaloy Blue in SR flex that I am dying to find a cheap head for.... Thinking something forgiving from older Ping G series as a guilt free experiment.

[@naspirit1551]

G400!

[@jaredherr6555]

Would love to see the GC in the mini driver!

[@BigSwervin]

This cold open is something i never knew i needed to see. Keep em coming! 🎉

[@anthonyychapa]

This shaft (GC) is very good. I was fit into it with a GT4 (weight back) and gained 17 yards carry over my TSR3 with DI 6x. Dynamic loft was consistent at around 18 and dispersion was much tighter. I’m excited to put it into play.

[@stayvigilant007]

I have been playing the XC-4S for 3 years. Stable and lightweight.

[@mmms1979]

Would love to see a comparison: GC vs. Ventus Red vs. Tensei 1k Red vs. Hzrdus RDX red, etc. Maybe throw in Tensei 1k Blue, Diamana GT, TR Red, KBS as well

[@IBOTCHvx33]

super interesting one....makes you wonder Ian, why not play the nice and easy and chip it around. The few you gave it a bit of gusto on weren't far off the 'normal' shaft in the game changer...

[@danherring4349]

Would be great to see a head to head Ian with VF and GC in your gamer GT! thanks for the initial thoughts though 👍🏽👍🏽

[@adamspencer9280]

I've been searching for AG in the UK for a couple of months, didn't realise it was a new-ish model. Unfortunately I have some nerve damage that has slowed my swing. I've been looking at R2 flexes but want something premium. The GD CQ 40/50 or the AG have on paper at least has tweaked my interest.

[@alexchoi2060]

Would love to see how a 90mph swing would benefit from this (Ronnie)

[@bertruiz4246]

Hi guys! I was just fit for a Titleist GT3 with a Mitsubishi SpeedMesh 40 (stiff). I am 55 years old and my swing speed is slowing down (84-89 at my fitting this week). Any thoughts on the Anti Gravity vs the Mitubishi I was fitted for? Any other shafts you like in this space? Thank you - and thank you guys for ALL the awesome content!

[@techlibertarian]

I love how Mikey occasionally slips a bit of Ian’s accent. Spent enough time to get it by osmosis

[@jacobmccain8082]

Aye

[@gregfierro5454]

I love Graphic Design shafts. I have VR in my driver (Ian you might want to give this a try for your VF replacement) IZ in my 3/5 wood, and IZ hybrid in my PDHY 4iron. I loved Ventus but GD shafts were eye opening once I got them in

[@edj9961]

IZ the current goat

[@donkee9]

@@edj9961di is still the goat. I’m saying that without ever hitting the iz 😂

[@edj9961]

@@donkee9 you may be correct given the production run of DI

[@mattforst6591]

Any experience with the CQ? I have 87mph swing in driver. Thx.

[@BenjaminJGold]

The GC is the new TP profile , correct? I think I heard one of the GD reps indicate that the GC replaced the TP. Which is in my wheelhouse since the TP was a great shaft.

[@mitchellmcmurrough9002]

What is the Flex on the Anti-Gravity Ian demoed?

[@ianfrasergolf]

Regular

[@jaytucker4338]

I'd like to buy a half a dozen just to lighten my bag.

[@SudsyontheWater]

Would the anti gravity shaft be for a player that swings about 90-95mph? What benefits would I see if paired with a TSR2?

[@MM-tn3br]

ians swing speed is visible on the screen. he was swining antigravity at 109mph. but I dont see why it woudnt work for someone with slower ss. but dont be fooled. he has a good swing. he can make any shaft look good. and I am sure he tried this shaft with many diff heads to make the numbers look good to make the shaft shine. so take everything they present to you with a grain of salt. at the end of the day he is just a merchant.

[@jvelez1998]

Very DC Comics… the ‘Anti Gravity Shaft’ is the secret to Darkside’s ‘Anti-Life Equation’ 😅

[@matthewkodamaADG]

What’s that creaking noise going on at the transition at the top of swing?

[@ianfrasergolf]

Probably my back!!!

[@matthewkodamaADG]

@@ianfrasergolf 🤣 you and me both

[@mattc3233]

Could you guys explain why GC numbers are so different than trackman? Or is it just being able to go harder at it indoors?

[@greatwhite3676]

Because most of youtube golf is astroturf nonsense. Every single youtube golf guy carrying the ball 300 is not real. Some can and do but its not that easy.

[@buddymaxwell6881]

GC quad is measured just before impact and trackman is measured at impact or to be exact at the maximum point of compression. So with this in mind it seems obvious why the readings will be different

[@cpri555]

[@terrypeeples1942]

Would the anti gravity shaft be good for slower swing speeds?

[@brentjewell9641]

Ian, you have admitted you have had driver problems as of late. Im a huge fan and lots of respect ..but Why would you not put in the anti gravity shaft In your bag?? Is it ego? Not a hater, just a question. iv never seen u hit a shaft, easir, or straighter

[@ianfrasergolf]

My Driver has been awful recently. I’m pretty focused on fixing the underlying fundamental flaws rather than throwing an equipment change at it to try and fix the problem.

[@Kevin-yh6dn]

Make sure you get fitted:) Legendary intro. Classic.

[@Gr8brandino418]

Is there a headweight you’d recommend with the AG shaft? Currently have TSR4 and weight set would love to try out

[@masonmorris2820]

Do softer tip shafts tend to be more draw bias ? And reversed, do firmer tip shafts promote a fade ?

[@ianfrasergolf]

Yes I’d say most would experience that. Probably 80/20 rule

[@davidmann9022]

Next time that he is here, I would love for him to reach out to me and be my guest for a round.

[@willierobinson8245]

Can you try Newton shafts

[@ianfrasergolf]

Yes we have those to try

[@stang1966gt]

I am so confused on their name convention and butt, mid and tip flex vs shot shape. Big fan of 50g for 70-100CHS

[@nathaniverson6828]

I would be so interested in you guys trying out the xcaliber light weight shafts

[@davekeogh4870]

If you are part of club champion, why do they use trackman and you use GC quad?

[@BloodySoup74]

Want to feel super human I guess

[@ianfrasergolf]

@@BloodySoup74yeh that’s what it is.

[@ianfrasergolf]

We’ve used GC Quad since we started TXG in 2016. All of our fitters have been trained using that and it’s still imo as good as anything in the market today.

[@jonathanlopez9797]

that was hilarious

[@MysteriousElk91]

I don't even want to know the price. Sounds cool though.

[@Kevin-yh6dn]

Ok Ian. Quick question. Why wouldn’t you game that AG33-3 Anti-Gravity shaft? You were roasting some absolute taters. Hawk Tuah that thing. Game it.

[@ianfrasergolf]

I’ve gamed lighter Driver shafts in the past. It’s perhaps a tempo thing. In the bay my tempo is pretty consistent whereas on the golf course my swing gets shorter and faster in transition.

[@Kevin-yh6dn]

Thank you.

[@paulwilsdon8322]

Just a thought, if on course swings and tempos are different from fitting bay swings. Doesn’t this put into question the whole validity of bay based fitting. I have had both great fitting and not so good. Needs a really good fitter and an honest customer, reporting how close the swings in the fitting are to normal course swings

[@arpus1995]

anti gravity? oh man, what's next in golf.

[@javiervigil2511]

So what was the point, its almost a rerelease. Wa wa waaaa

[@marybetheby5184]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@justinstephenson9360]

I can appreciate the tag line "Korean Hidden Technology", but calling a shaft "Anti-Gravity" is just plain dumb.

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Like all their shafts, I'm sure its just referred to as the GD-AG.

[@freddym6643]

Not as silly as the full name of the upcoming GD DN shaft

[@SudsyontheWater]

Would the anti gravity shaft be for a player that swings about 90-95mph? What benefits would I see if paired with a TSR2?

[@ianfrasergolf]

If that player times softer lighter shafts well then definitely yes. Benefits would be high on club head speed, easier to square the face for a lot of golfers.

[@SudsyontheWater]

@@ianfrasergolf great thanks for the feedback I’m liking my driver but still struggling with some inconsistency. My next step is to take some lesson if I can find a good pro in my area. But this type of shaft might be something to consider trying over the winter in the bay sometime.

[@jonbuikema7399]

If you are just trying you might want to find a few other lighter options due to cost. Tensei Red, Aldila, Project all have light shaft options. GD is not cheap. I have a SS of 94-98 and can push it up to 102. Age 57, 3.3 Hcp. When fit Mizuno put me in a lighter and regular flex shaft. The GD DI was a want but for another $300 it was a costly upgrade. The Aldila Ascent Red shaft works great. They have a 40 version. Mine is 50. I don't work hard on this driver and it just goes (STX-230).
