Black tour ad di shaft real?

[mwilkins25]

Are there any specs out on how to spot a fake black ad di shaft? I just picked one up and I wanted to be sure it isn’t fake. 
 

edit: I’ve seen lots on the Orange but nothing on the black shaft.

This link should help you. Pretty informative, and straight from GD.

Thanks. I was hoping someone had something specific to the black ad di as their logos are pretty different.

Do you have the grip off? Difficult to tell from your photos. I always find the easiest way to tell are the engraved serial # and graphics. Also, if it's any consolation, X shafts are far less likely to be knock-offs due to lesser demand.

There should be an etched serial number on the butt.

 

Email Pros Choice, the distributor for Graphite Design, and they'll confirm the authenticity. I did the same a couple of years ago on two AD DI 7X black shafts, they were more than helpful

Thanks, I will pull the grip off and take a look!
