Letters from Santa DAY 5 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway: New 2025 Graphite Design Tour AD GC Driver Shaft

Well?  Looks like Santa is thinking about tinkering with his sleigh again.  And in a BIG way.  Also learned (and maybe I'm reading between the lines here) that SC might be a bit of a mobster movie fan.  I'll let him tell you all about it in his letter below.

The sleigh overhaul seems to be inspired by the new 2025 Graphite Design Tour AD GC shafts.  Santa wants you to be one of the first to give this baby a swing.  AD GC is a stable, strong, and that promises greater control and performance in your woods and driver.  And Santa wants you to be one of the first to put this shaft in play so we've got an AD GC6-S shaft for DAY 5 of my PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.

First, here's Santa's actual letter to me.

If you play golf you know the name Graphite Design.  And you might know that their shafts have earned players more than 500 professional tour victories since GD's inception.  And if you follow me on X or Instagram you probably know that Graphite Design always seems to be one of only a handful of shafts that always seems to fit me best.

Graphite Design has released a new shaft for 2025, the Tour AD GC and it has the potential to fit a large majority of players.  Tour AD GC has a Mid-Launch and Low/Mid to Mid spin profile.

 

And it promises to deliver stability, strength, and smooth feel to improve control and performance in your woods and drivers.

You can read all about the Tour AD GC profile specs here on Graphite Design's site.  You'll be one of the first players to put AD GC in play (although it has already been put in play by a tour pro who's raved about its stability).  And I'll have an AD GC review for you coming soon as well.

Remember you always have three different ways to win the daily gifts in my giveaway this year.  And if you missed a day don't worry.  You can enter ANY of the DAY Giveaways anytime throughout the entire 12 Days of Christmas.

On X/Twitter just repost my giveaway announcement and follow all; on Instagram repost or mention in your story, like, and follow all; and here on my blog leave a comment in the section below in the daily review/giveaway, Jingle Bam, Letters from Santa, Jingle Bam Bigger, Santa Dared Me, and Kringle Gonna Kringle, and Santa Said Do It articles.

These gifts are great prizes of course, but also some of the best equipment and gear in their class that I played and reviewed this season.  And I hope these mini reviews and recaps give you an idea of why I rate them so highly.

Merry Christmas all!  And here's Santa's letter to me again.

Pepe you beautiful son of a bitch you!  You actually took the day off yesterday.  I’m so damn proud of you and big respect Young Kringle!  And speaking of respect, what do you know about those new 2025 Graphite Design Tour AD GC driver and wood shafts?  That new AD SHIELD material tech sounds wild.  AD GC with premium aerospace quality TORAYCA M40X and T1100G carbon fibers?  That’s NSA Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information stuff right there.

I’m thinking if AD GC really delivers the stability, strength, and smooth feeling that Graphite Design promises it might be time to alter the sleigh design.  Or maybe even give it a complete overhaul.  Graphite Design’s relentless dedication to improving and refining their tech is impressive.  I know GC stands for Game Changer.  But if I go to AD GC for my sleigh I should give my ride a new nickname, right?

How about the AD NC?  NC for Nicky Centurion.  Makes me sound like a Scorsese Mob Underboss baby! What do you think of AD RT?  RT for Red Thumper, like an Elixir of Firepower.  Believe it or not I’ve had to flex a few times to encourage sovereign nation aerospace compliance with SIAA (Santa International Airspace Agreement).  It’s best however I don’t mention the countries that went Grinch on me.

With AD GC being Mid-Launch and Low/Mid to Mid spin shaft it’s going to be ideal for a majority of players no matter how hard they swing.  And if we can help boost driver and wood performance and control for someone I’m all in.  Let’s ask your friends at Graphite Design to include an Tour AD GC6-S shaft for DAY 5 of your PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway.  We can ship it to them uncut or ask GD to grip and tip it to specs.

Keep doing your thing Pepe.  You’re my spirit animal.
