TPT Pulse putter shafts: Different feels, same great performance

Published

Last week, we highlighted the launch of TPT Golf’s new Pulse putter shafts, which I got to check them out further down at the 2026 PGA Show. TPT has been pushing the limits in wood and iron shaft design since the mid-2010s, and now the company is taking that knowledge to the green.

The new Pulse putter shaft line is made up of three models that offer distinctly different performance and feel to match any putting stroke out there. Each shaft is created using TPT’s Thin Ply Technology, which uses ultra-thin carbon fiber layers to control bending and twisting more accurately. The engineering team also incorporated 4-Ply technology that lets the automated machines lay each carbon fiber layer at a specific angle for maximum performance.

We visited the TPT booth at the PGA Show, and it was packed with golfers who wanted to hear the story and roll a few putts to get a feel for the Pulse. There is definitely a buzz swirling around the company’s foray into putter shafts.

Pulse 50

You wouldn’t know this is the softest profile in the Pulse line unless you tried the other models. The Pulse 50 is still very stout and probably has a flex closest to a higher-end steel shaft. There is a little flex there for feel and should suit a slower tempo, more deliberate putting stroke, really well. The impact feel, to me, was the softest of the three models. It gave the Odyssey Ai-One Milled putter a more muted sound and reduced a little of the click that the insert usually produces. A few other people at the TPT booth also expressed amazement at how the Pulse 50 felt really good as they went through the line.

Pulse 60

While the 60 is the middle shaft in the Pulse line, it would probably be one of the stiffest shaft offerings from other manufacturers. There is a great feel of knowing where the head it at through the stroke as the shaft hardly flexes, even with newer, heavier heads. I personally like the stiff feel of the Pulse 60 and feel like it will fit a wide range of putting strokes. The impact feel is a little firmer than the 50 and for players who like that firmness as feedback, this shaft should offer a little more. Players who like a little more audible feedback will get a touch more click to their ears as well but it won’t be wildly amplified.

Pulse 70

Just grabbing the Pulse 70 off the rack will let you know it is the stiffest model in the line. Go ahead and do the typical waggle test, and you won’t feel any flex. For golfers who like that ultra-stiff feel or with a short, poppy stroke, this could be the shaft that feels right at home. The Pulse 70 can handle quick, jerky movements without loss of accuracy or unintended face movement at impact. When the putter head does get to impact, you will get the most crisp feel out of the three shafts. Sound will also be the most crisp as your senses will be able to pick up the slightest changes in impact location on the face.

TPT Golf has engineered these three shafts as a family, with all of them offering high stability and consistency. This means that no matter the model that fits your stroke and feel preferences, you aren’t giving up accuracy and consistency. The engineers at TPT have ensured that performance comes first, even refusing to paint the shafts, as this adds layers that could affect how they perform. TPT is truly bringing something special to the putting space.

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.”
