Carlsbad, CA   – Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winner of the Japan Men’s JGTO Kansai Open Golf Championship 2026 event, held in Osaka, Japan, was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD GC7-TX – Tour X-Stiff flex wood shaft in his Titleist Driver and a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-9 X-Stiff flex wood shaft in his TaylorMade #5 fairway metal wood.  The champion secured a four-day score of 9 under par to win the tournament by 3 strokes, claiming his 3rd JGTO win.

“Congratulations to the champion of the 2026 Kansai Open Golf Championship this past weekend. We are elated that he chose to play two premium Graphite Design wood shafts, which helped power his performance on the way to capturing his third Japan Golf Tour victory,” stated Bill McPherson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. 

Designed and manufactured at the Graphite Design Japan factory headquarters, the Tour AD GC “Game Changer” wood shafts are pearl white with bronze and orange accents and finished with a gloss clear coat.  Much like the other high-performance Tour AD wood shafts, the Tour AD GC utilizes premium, aerospace-quality carbon-fiber materials and is available in 40g R2, R1, and S flex, 50g R2, R1, S and X flex, 60g SR, S, X, and TX flex, 70g S, X, and TX flex, and 80g X flex.

The Tour AD GC shaft profile is Stiff in the butt section, Firm in the center section, and has a Firm+ tip to promote Mid launch angles and Low/Mid to Mid ball spin rates. 

The Tour AD GC shaft integrates a new material technology called AD SHIELD, which consists of strategically placed special plies of carbon fiber combined with the modern TORAYCA® M40X material technology in the handle section of the shaft, resulting in a stiff yet smooth-feeling kick point and an optimized shaft profile.

The Tour AD GC shaft also utilizes the ultra-high modulus TORAYCA® T1100G carbon-fiber material in the tip section of the shaft for unrivaled shaft stability and precise ball control without the loss of the exceptional feel that Graphite Design shafts are so well known for.

Are you ready to make a change to how your Driver or Fairway metal woods perform?  Experience the Tour AD GC and see if the new innovations that the Tour AD GC has might just be the biggest Game Changer to your golf game.

PING Launch New AW25 Men’s Collection https://golfingnetworks.com/ping-launch-new-aw25-mens-collection/ https://golfingnetworks.com/ping-launch-new-aw25-mens-collection/#respond Sun, 05 Apr 2026 01:08:13 +0000 https://golfingnetworks.com/ping-launch-new-aw25-mens-collection/
PING have launched its latest AW25 men’s apparel collection, showcasing a fusion of authentic golf performance with innovative design. This range emphasises weather-ready functionality and advanced technology, while delivering a bold sense of style for the course.

PING has revolutionised its waterproof jacket lineup, by introducing three new standout designs, providing golfers a choice of performance benefits to suit their game.

The Impervious Jacket provides golfers with an ultra-soft, quiet waterproof (20,000mm), thanks to its flexible 3-layer knitted fabric an alternative to a traditional waterproof fabric that can be noisier.

It features innovative seam-free construction under the arms, ensuring enhanced overarm mobility and complete freedom of movement – perfect for tackling the elements on the course.

Engineered for highly breathable and ultra lightweight performance, the AquaDrive Jacket is crafted with a 2.5-layer performance fabric, designed for superior comfort and protection against the elements.

Its highly breathable membrane feels smooth against the skin, helping to keep the wearer cool and dry as the body warms up and produces sweat during the round.

Another exciting addition is the AquaDrive Half-Zip Jacket, made from a 2.5-layer advanced performance fabric, designed to provide comfort and protection in wet and windy conditions.

This half-zip waterproof jacket is extremely lightweight and highly breathable – the perfect waterproof pull-over for any golfer.

The AquaDrive Pant complements these two jackets, to ensure seamless flexibility and unrestricted movement.

AquaDrive Half-Zip Jacket

Designed with a reduced weight for added comfort, these pants offer exceptional performance in wet conditions without compromising mobility and are available in black or navy.

All three ‘AquaDrive’ garments have a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m2 and are waterproof to 10,000mm, offering superior levels of breathability and waterproof protection.
Astbury Blue Fusion

PING’s renowned Norse Series sees a further evolution, with the all-new Norse Cocoon Jacket – a fully insulated PrimaLoft jacket engineered for superior lightweight warmth and stretch in cold weather.

With ThermoPlume insulation in the front body and PrimaLoft Silver Active insulation in the sleeves, back and side body, it provides golfers the perfect blend of ultimate warmth and lightweight freedom of movement during the coldest rounds. The Norse Cocoon Vest also joins this elite outerwear collection and is crafted with the same design elements as the jacket, making this style the ideal layering piece for winter golf.

Another standout piece in the collection is the Astbury, a half-zip hybrid fleece that features new technology for AW25. Engineered with Clo Insulation, its zoned upper front body panel is constructed with Vivo Extreme, a patented perforation that offers extreme breathability and four-way stretch, perfect for comfort and movement in varying conditions.

Astbury Blue Fusion

This versatile layering piece is a first for PING and can be worn with the AquaDrive Jacket for added warmth and waterproof protection.

For those looking for a hooded fleece, PING has added a new style to the collection this year, the Nexa. Designed for comfort and warmth against the wind, this garment also features a water-resistant finish for added protection.

This hooded fleece is two-toned with a camouflage pattern that is knitted into the fabric for a bold contemporary look.

PING have also added newness within their polo category with two new styles. The Julian Polo features three impactful print designs: a PING Eye Mark micro dot, a multicoloured mini flag, and a brush stroke camo.

This SensorCool® polo is engineered for moisture-moving comfort in all weather conditions and is a classic garment to supplement this collection’s new mid-layers and jackets. Also new is the Creek Long Sleeve Polo, engineered for moisture-moving comfort in all conditions with its heathered SensorCool® fabric.
