Breakthrough Golf Technology launches new Paradox zero-torque putters

There have been plenty of new zero-torque putters that hit the market this year, making it one of the hottest categories in golf equipment. Breakthrough Golf Technology, better known as BGT, is a pioneer in highly engineered stable putter shafts that have proven performance at all levels of golf. BGT took its understanding of putters and decided to design its own. But for a company with “technology” in its name, the putter had to be more than just another zero-torque option on the wall. New Paradox putters are here and packed with tech!

BGT used Principal Axis Technology to design its new Paradox putters to optimize the putter through the stroke dynamically. Now this is engineering and physics well beyond my basic understanding, but it is all used to make putters that perform better for all golfers. Instead of just focusing on the center of gravity and where the shaft enters the head, BGT looked at weight distribution and face balancing as well.

Paradox putters move the weight in the heel low while the weight in the toe is pushed higher up in the head. BGT calls this design Swing Balancing, and you can see it in the unique face shape that has a shorter heel and rises up at the toe. All of this is done to improve performance throughout the stroke, and in BGT’s testing, the company saw more made putts, missed putts that ended up 10 percent closer to the hole, and a ball that got into a true roll 20 percent faster. The weighting can also help golfers make center contact more frequently, ensuring better distance control.

Two putter shapes are available, the Paradox Blade and Paradox Mallet, to fit your alignment needs or personal looks preference. Each putter is milled from a block of aluminum, and milled steel weights are fixed to the toe and heel areas. A unique Paradox face milling is applied to give the putter a consistent roll and a nice soft feel.

The Paradox Mallet head comes off the scales at 365 grams and the Paradox Blade is slightly lighter at 355 grams. Both putters come with a Paradox graphite shaft but can be optioned with BGT’s very popular Stability Tour shaft that reduces twisting of the putter head through the stroke and at impact. Paradox putters are finished off with a BGT non-taper grip that is more of a midsize diameter, a little smaller than some traditional non-taper grips.

These new Paradox putters are available for pre-order on Breakthrough Golf Technology’s website right now and will be shipping out on 4/15. Each putter has a price of $499 and the Stability Tour shaft upgrade will increase the price to $699.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
