Graphite Design goes so far as to describe its Aura shaft, which is new for 2009, as ‘a subtle field of luminous, multi-colored radiation surrounding a person like a halo'. Top that. The Aura shafts come in a range of four, coded by colour. ‘Red' signifies ‘power and energy', and is designed to offer a tour-preferred launch. It has a low torque and a 70-gram profile, suited to golfers who swing at 100mph and over. Gold produces a medium launch; Blue produces a higher launch angle and Green is designed to offer a balanced performance for a slower swing tempo.
