Graphite Design Raune Wedge Shafts (Taper)

In April 2022, Mr. Takuro Yamada, President and CEO of Graphite Design Co., Ltd. launched the new brand "R A U N E" series of shafts for Hybrids, Irons, and Wedges to the golfing community and started the distribution to S. E. Asia market in December 2022.

"RAUNE" Series

Based on the concept of a "shaft that satisfies top players in refining the perfect feel" and started the development of the wedge and adapted it to irons and hybrids. "RAUNE" is from the Japanese word "NERAU" or "Aim".

  • For Irons & Hybrids
A different laminating technique from the Tour AD series was adopted, changing the laminating pattern of the material for each shaft. For Hybrid and Long Irons, the balance point is designed at the hand part (Butt Section) of the shaft for easy follow-through swing. The flexible center tip part raises the launch angle of the ball trajectory. For Short Irons, it is designed so that you can control the ball by restraining the movement of the tip while feeling the stiffness at the upper hand part (Butt Area) of the shaft. Each iron has unique characteristics performing extremely well in the middle irons.

  • Wedge
Spin System.
Focusing on the structure of Spin-Type golf balls ("Soft" on the outside and "Hard" on the inside) by adopting a highly elastic material in the deep layer of the shaft, making a fast swing path possible during the down swing. In addition, Low elastic pitch carbon is adopted and designed to reduce the overall rigidity of the shaft and convert energy to the maximum spin performance even in a short width.

What is Low Elasticity Pitch Carbon?
Carbon Fiber is divided into "Sheet based carbon" made by carbonizing fibers and "Pitch based carbon" made by bundling carbon from petroleum in fibers. Pitch carbon has milder vibration than the Sheet type, so it is ideal for producing the soft feel required for iron shafts. The sheet system has the ability to bend and improve the performance of the wood shaft.
