WRX Spotted: BGT Stability Tour putter shaft

Published

7 years ago

Jul 2, 2019

When you’re the new kid on the block, there is always going to be rapid innovation.

BGT and the Stability Shaft have proven to provide a tangible benefit to golfer using modern-day, heavier-headed putters and if you are curious about how it works, check out this feature piece done a few months ago (WRX BGT Stability Spotlight).

Here’s the newest shaft from BGT, the Stability Tour.

Although it looks extremely similar to the original Stability there are a couple of noticeable differences that stand our in the tour versions that we haven’t seen yet:

Even from the naked eye we can see that the new Tour version, has a smaller outside diameter than the original which in theory would make the shaft play softer. That’s not a 100 percent fact since there are different ways to use materials to make a composite (graphite) shaft play stiffer, but since this is the Tour version the assumption is this is to improve feel.
Black adapter from graphite to steel — it’s a smaller detail, but when it comes to putting and how something looks over the ball every detail counts. This new adapter certainly makes the transition look even cleaner.

We don’ have any official comment yet from BGT on what the specs are for the new Tour option or when it might be coming to retail, but we have reached out and looking forward to hearing more.

Just another marketing gimmick to increase the already exhorbitant golf gear prices: especially Drivers and putters. It’s the “puttie” not the “putter”

Having rolled one of these, i’m saddened by the “tour” being put on the end – as it is a last ditch effort to sell more product. As far as the original, I don’t see it being worth the 200$ they price it at now. The tour is sure to be more expensive. It’s a single-use shaft that made the scotty i put it on feel absolutely crap. A tour version is an attempt to make it prettier and will likely sacrifice some aspect of what people liked on the original. Breakthrough golf lost my interest when it took 4 days to contact someone on why i had to select the head i was putting the shaft in, when tips don’t even come with the shaft (unless it’s a straight shaft). No part of the experience seems worthy of the price tag.

I have this on my putter and it has changed my putting for the better. You still need to understand line and speed but this gives the ball a much better roll.Well worth the price!

Love it! I have the original and it is amazing. My putting stats have improved so it was worth it for me. Try it, you might like it, LOL.

Sort of like the UST Frequency Filter putter shaft, which has been on the market for years and can be had for $29.95.

The original was what? $200?!? How much can they command for the “tour” model? $300? $350?!? Prices on all golf equipment is getting out of control. Drivers over $500 are common. Iron sets under $1,000 are getting scarce. Pretty soon they will “revolutionize” the golf ball again and charge $10-$15/ball!

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Andrew Von Lossow

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
