Graphite Design Tour AD Utility/Driving iron shaft vs ...
If we're talking the same shafts, the Tour AD Utility/Driving Iron is 0.355 and the Tour AD DI Hybrid is 0.370. Profiles are different, most likely cause one is designed to be used with (driving) iron heads and the other, obviously, with hybrids. Apart from the Iron possibly producing a bit more spin, the different feel can/will be noticeable.
AD Di Hybrid Vs Di driving iron
On 5/23/2023 at 10:26 PM, R_Swanson said: Yes, the profiles are different. Hybrid is pretty much a standard AD DI profile, the Driving Iron is different. They are different profile as they are built for different heads ( hybrid vs iron - obviously 🙂 ). I have played both and didn't notice a huge difference in either.

Tour AD DI Hybrid Shaft Review
The Tour AD DI Hybrid, even in stiff flex felt remarkably smooth but gave the accuracy of a stiff shaft. I plugged the Tour AD DI into my 4-hybrid and my spin rates stayed in the 3500 and 400 RPM spin range. This allowed me to thread the needle on narrow fairways and deftly avoid hazards. The torque was perfect for me but you can get less or ...

It has the smooth feel and pronounced kick of the blue with the ...

Graphite Design Tour AD Hybrid Shafts Review
The Graphite Design Tour AD IZ is slightly higher launching compared to the Tour AD DI. The Tour AD IZ is well suited for golfers looking to gain more height for approaching greens, especially on longer holes. Golfers looking to elevate lower lofted hybrids will also love the efficiency of this shaft and how easy it is to swing.
Driving Iron vs. Hybrid: Pros and cons in action
A hybrid generates more spin and a higher launch. Attacking the green with the driving iron is much more difficult than with the hybrid. Hybrids usually have more offset than driving irons. This is not optimal for draw-heavy players. Driving irons fly flatter and are easier to control, especially in windy conditions.

Shafts w/ Similar Profile to Tour AD-DI driving iron?
I've been gaming the Tour AD-DI 95s driving iron shaft in my G400 3H, and it's been the best hybrid shaft I've ever used.

Either the .355 head was reamed to .370 (easy job) or the .370 shaft shaved down to .355 at the tip. Both are fairly common. The hybrid and iron versions of the AD-DI are the same basic profile with the iron shaft being a little softer in the butt.
