The final podcast of 2023! This week I talk about some golf goals I think I should shoot for. Santa brought me a couple of golf related gifts this year, I guess I was on the nice list! I also review the Breakthrough Golf Technologies Stability Tour Spec ONE putter shaft. This all graphite shaft offers stiffness, better accuracy, and added consistency. The ONE also softens the feel of my PXG putter.

The Year crazy I hope all you had a great holiday uh week weekend I guess like you know holiday fell in a weird time uh last year where it was or this year this week uh but hopefully you have a great one hopefully you traveled safe wherever you were going uh and hopefully

Get to spend some time with some uh you know family friends and whoever uh to enjoy uh the time but uh new year is coming uh shortly it’ll be here again kind of this weekend which is crazy uh excited for uh for the new year and what

It looks to bring uh and excited to keep uh rolling along with the old Club junkie here so uh it’s going to be uh another good year I’m going to try to do a little bit more I know I did a kind of a not a Q&A but I kind of asked

Everybody about uh you know things we I should do differently next year and uh so many people wanted to do you know more q&as and things like that so definitely going to try to do all those we’re going to definitely try to do uh more q&as more live stuff stuff like

That that’ll uh uh just you know interact with you guys but talk some golf talk some gear and you know there’s going to be a whole lot of new gear coming down the pipeline so a lot of it is uh in my possession uh excited that

I’ve been uh kind of hitting it and getting ready for uh the launch season here coming next month which is uh going to be what what a week away we’re going to start seeing a new product out and I’ve been hitting some stuff and getting ready and uh excited for all this new

Gear so I’m always super excited uh this time of year it’s always really busy in the golf world especially the media side because you’re just covering all these new product launches and uh there’s a ton of them and there’s so much stuff coming at you which is uh which is

Pretty wild but uh it’s going to be fun uh I’m excited I’ve hit some stuff that I’ve really liked I’ve been you know really impressed with some stuff and it’s going to be fun to be uh be able to finally talk about this stuff that I’ve

Been traveling out to go see go hit and learn about and uh finally now to uh to get my you know be able to to do these things and and discuss them and not keep them under wraps even though people probably are pretty sure what they are

So you know we’ve seen enough teasers enough spy shots from the tour that people are pretty pretty sure of of what’s coming out what it is but we’ll finally get the uh you know the whole rundown of of all the tech and everything else that will be uh coming

Along with it so I’m super excited for that uh people always ask me you know what are you most excited for honestly kind of at all I mean I know it’s stupid but like I am I mean you know drivers always great like it’s always fun to hit drivers always great

To hit the new drivers um but honestly it’s I think Fairy Woods are awesome especially for myself who I found a really great fairway wood in the Paradigm Triple Diamond um and I think in my last show I already kind of told you like I’ve hit one fairway wood that

Will already replace it I’ve hit a second one that I really like uh just on the Range so far but but hit it and really like I think it’s comparable uh if not a little bit better than I thought and uh you know it’s just I

Think Fairway Woods are great and I I really want to find one that that just fits in the bag uh and then uh also you know same thing with with my seven wood which is you know might be safe but I’ve got a you know really good one that I’ve

Hit um and I’ve got another one I think coming so you know there’s just a couple there that uh that I need to to hit more but I mean I think that part is really cool um now that the iron releases and all that I mean I know it’s not going to

Be as much of the whole uh you know we’re probably not going to see as much as the the crazy player stuff I mean a lot of that has already either been launched uh by companies or they’re on two year cycles and they’ll go through another year so that kind of stuff won’t

Be as as as I think as in demand in terms of content you guys want but uh we’ll talk about some of the uh the new stuff we’ll see in from irons and all that but uh just going to be a whole lot of fun and uh and and I’m I’m excited to

Hit it all I’m excited to to try it all to hit it all to get it to the range and then as soon as the weather gets even close you know get it out to the course and we’ll go play and have some fun and

And get it on the course and talk about it then so it’s going to be a fun fun beginning of the year and then as as I kind of talk about you know goals I definitely want to do stuff like the more Q&A do some Instagram lives I know

People are kind of you know they’re kind of into that um I just find it sometimes boring when I’m just sitting around and maybe I’m just not doing anything in terms of Instagram live uh cuz I like to have questions coming in to be able to

Like do something but I’ll try to build some more stuff and uh do some lives while I’m building uh and then you know maybe maybe try to do some more video stuff uh I know people always want uh you know building videos and stuff like

That I think a lot of you are interested in uh maybe you know starting up your own uh little workshop in your garage basement wherever you have room and uh and working on your own clubs uh it’s it’s a lot of fun I love it I mean it’s

Part of the reason I love this game so much is just being able to mess with and Tinker with uh different golf clubs and and I’m I’m going to try to do more videos based on that so whether they can be entertaining whether they can be critiquing me in my building skills or

They can be educational in some way going to try to do all that so it should be uh a really good 2024 and then uh you know I do work for golf the BX so I definitely you know my my whole thing for that next year is to try to get as

Much Club content as we can uh on the site I mean I know we do a pretty good job but I know there’s a lot of stuff that we miss there’s a lot of smaller manufacturers out there who are making stuff that we just don’t you know just

Not on the radar in terms of I don’t know we just don’t get their either press releases or don’t get their info on what they’re making or what they’re coming out with what they’re releasing and I know people are interested in that stuff you know there’s there’s smaller

Brands out there that uh you know either people have never heard of or people do know of and they want to know more about what they’re doing and what’s coming out and uh I think we need to definitely cover that more so I’m going to try to

Be uh helping out our team and and doing some of that and it should be a great year I’m excited for for 2024 uh my other goal is uh I definitely want to I want to I want to get back to hitting the ball a little bit better and and by

That I know a lot of people are like well you just you know you switch clubs every every round or every nine holes or every whatever and that isn’t going to change like that will never change that’s just who I am like I’m going to hit different clubs every time there’s

No way around that um but I think I can still kind of improve and get my handicap back down I’d like to get back down to like a an a an eight something uh under nine back under nine yeah I don’t think it’s I was this there like a year ago

Um I was like like a high eight I would like to get on like the mid like 85 I’m not looking to be a scratch player or anything like that but I’d like to get some of my stuff uh figured out get myself to like an eight and a

Half and just kind of keep it there and keep it a little more steady uh so that’s one and then two definitely want to play well to help my team win for my big kind of guys out and guys match in August I definitely want to win again uh

After we won this year and kind of dominated definitely want to win again next year so I definitely want to be a big part of that and I definitely want to keep like a decently high draft stock uh I don’t want to keep you know falling backwards so I definitely want to have

Uh uh people want want me on the team and I want to be able to back that up so those are my big things is uh that and and honestly I kind of want to play a little bit more this year and I know that’s stupid to say but it’s it’s tough

When you have a family uh but I want to play a little bit more find ways to play a little bit more without disrupting being around my wife and my daughter cuz I I love that too like I’m I’m a home guy I don’t love the like you know world

Traveling stuff like that I like being home I like being with uh my family I like doing things uh with them whether it’s just nothing in the backyard or whatever so I want to find a way to do it without disrupting the family life

That I enjoy so those are kind of my my goals for 2024 or kind of the I don’t know if you want to call them goals but stuff I want to set uh and try to achieve for for 2024 and I think they’re all pretty attainable uh just a matter

Of being a little more disciplined excuse me and you know thinking a little bit maybe more creatively around what I’m doing and how I do things so all that stuff I is there and then uh yeah definitely want to keepow Growing this whole club junkie thing I mean it’s it’s

A blast I have a great time and uh I want to make it to the point where I can go to the people above me and and kind of focus more on it than other stuff that I do so that’ll be uh another big uh big thing so hopefully I can pull all

Those things off I know everybody kind of has their 2024 stuff again yeah I would excuse me I would love to lose some weight and I’ve been kind of working on it um with the holiday you know that’s always a struggle so I’m going to get back on the bike here real

Shortly I took a few days took a week off um actually it was like two weeks when I was traveling then I got sick then I was traveling again and then holiday hit so it’s been uh been a couple weeks so I got to get back on the

Horse get going try to lose a couple lbs uh and uh and maybe have some clothes fit a little better so which uh which is always a good thing if I get fit back into some old polos that would be uh be awesome but anyway we’re here going to

Almost be the new year uh Christmas just hit uh I mean I’m an older guy now I don’t really get as many gifts anymore I mean my my parents still toss me something here and there a couple things uh it’s s of my in-laws just uh you know

As part of the GU part of the season but uh it’s not uh you know it’s something where my brothers and I have kind of you know gotten to the point we’re old enough you know we don’t need to buy each other gifts things like that and

When it comes to gifts I rarely if ever uh get golf stuff I just uh I never put it on my list I never ever try to I’m just I’m so picky about what things are uh and then also a lot of stuff is just extremely expensive that I do want so uh

I don’t do any of that I just kind of leave it as you know no golf stuff on there and it typically works pretty well but uh I actually you know this year got a couple golf things which is kind of cool I got a uh Deo golf uh one of their

Like I think it’s their skull with a tour visor uh Fairway headcut cover in kind of an off-white color that I really liked um I know some people the skulls are way over done and they’re old I’m still a big fan I still like the skulls

So it was uh kind of cool so I got that uh and then also a pair of FootJoy hydrite X rain pants which uh super light super packable and I my rain pants I had I had some old gortex they weren’t even like golf specific they were just

Like some gortex like hiking style pants that I had uh that just like finally got old enough where they were just falling apart like the elastic waistband you know the spring in there just like disintegrated everything was like toast so those were gone so got some new pants

Uh which is kind of nice cuz I got a new uh like Adidas rain uh rain jacket last year or this year so I’m uh set to go for inclement weather and uh got a little head cover to update the bag a little bit so I don’t know if that’s

Going to go on seven wood or that’s going to go on three-wood um we’ll see I got to decide what I’m going to do with that and then uh again as usual I got to figure out head covers that are like you know Club Junkie related so we’ll see

How that uh that goes but um anyway that’s pretty much my end of the year I’m excited for like I said excited for next year and today I guess we’re going to talk about uh you know talk about something cuz why not uh but I have been

Messing around with I got this shaft a while ago um kind of before I was traveling they I finally got it a lot of you guys have asked about the uh stability the Breakthrough golf technology stability one shaft which uh is their full graphite shaft so they’ve

Got a full graphite shaft called the stability one uh or the stability two respect one and this is a shaft that if you’re watching this on YouTube is going to be tough to focus cuz it’s basically like matte black and uh gloss black all in one so the camera doesn’t want to

Focus on it um and the the labels and stuff are super super kind of stealthy uh it basically just has like a little bgt stability tour spec and then the only thing and that’s matte black on a shiny black uh gloss black and then the

One logo that is white so that is like all you see um so very cool very subtle kind of very stealthy kind of mean looking uh which is very cool but this is their full graphite option so most of their shafts the stability shafts if if

You’ve seen them uh have been kind of steel tip section composite graphite upper section and they’re put together with like an aluminum uh kind of ring uh that goes around that connects the two and I did a video while go installing one and it’s pretty cool the way they do

It I mean the tip section is uh that way you can use it with double bends you can use it with slant neck you can use it with flown neck you can use it with just about anything uh cuz that’s cuz basically you could either use their

Straight steel tip or you would cut off a section of your double Bend single Bend whatever it was uh or flown neck and then you would basically epoxy the composite piece uh handle section onto it uh and it was kind of nice cuz you

They it was a whole kit you could do and install your yourself um and it was pretty awesome and I really like those shafts I still got a stability tour uh up in my kind of rack of shafts it’s not in a club at the moment um but only

Because I don’t really have the way I installed it in a plumber’s neck uh so the prep the tip is prepped and I don’t really have a plumber’s neck at the moment available to put it in so it’s just kind of uh sitting up there waiting

For a Putter and when one comes in that deserves it it’ll it’ll go in that head but uh as you guys know I’ve tried a major 40 uh of different putter shafts on the market uh so I’ve hit just about everything and this is one that a lot of

You asked about that I just hadn’t hit yet I’d hit the standard ones but but not the one so uh the guy you know breakthrough golf was nice enough to uh to reach out and uh and send me one which was uh which was pretty awesome

And out of the box the looks are pretty cool uh as I said kind of gloss black on the top uh and then matte black uh down kind of near the tip section and at uh 33 in putter which is what I play pro pro a little bit short uh you’ll see

More matte black than gloss back black at 34 35 in it’s probably going to be about a 50/50 split so uh for me I see a little more matte on there as I look down on it but uh I installed this in a brand new pxg uh Brandon head uh with

Just a standard uh standard plumber’s neck or L neck on it I just got this putter when I was at about at pxg few weeks ago so put it in here because one I’m I like the Putter and two an L neck and I puted decently well with it out at

Pxg so I figured why not put in here and and the using of they had their own little M16 shaft with the steel tip carbon uh upper uh that’s very similar like an odyssey stroke lab so use that there so I could kind of directly

Compare it to that it was fresh in my mind and as I said it’s kind of a nice putter I like this thing it looks good uh it’s you know another little blade that I’ve started using more blades uh it’s a little softer more rounded than my

Bbaw uh but it’s not quite as wide like the flange isn’t quite as wide it’s definitely a little wider than like a a standard Newport uh but it’s not quite uh as wide as like my bb8 um got some heavier weights in it uh again at 33 in

So added a few heavier weights to bump the head weight up a little bit and uh yeah this is uh just an overall you know nice head and put it well with it and I I’ll probably be using in a good amount this year as well uh we haven’t dialed

In the full gamer yet in terms of putter but this will definitely be something in the rotation a lot uh but out of the box it matches the head really well black L neck uh silver and black head uh the matte and gloss black uh finish here out

Of the box looks really really solid uh I I think it looks very stealthy kind of mean like as I described before uh the logo on the back uh you can almost barely see it you just kind of see the the one on there which is which is

Pretty cool but uh yeah very subtle if you’re a picky person in terms of I know some uh of these other graph models and and stuff like that have quite a bit of color quite a bit of Graphics stuff like that to them and to some people that is

A distracting thing uh this is definitely something that is not distracting uh now the one downside to this is that you can only use it with a putter that is going to have uh kind of a straight in install like an L neck here where the putter is going to go

Into the hosle uh they do make it in both 355 taper and 370 tips so it should fit any putter with an L neck that you have um but it ALS so the one limitation is that that is it it’s not going to uh if you have like a little slant neck

It’s not going to slide over that post uh on the uh on the putter hosle uh and the same thing with some of these others you’re not going to be able to put the putter you know the putter shaft over anything it’s going to have to install

Into the head uh so you’ll need an an L neck or uh you know if a center shaft putter some of those you’ll be able to insert in there but it’s going to take a a a standard kind of neck uh to to install into uh so you’ll have a little

Bit of that limitation but if if you do have a uh you know a flown neck or a slant neck or something like that one of the other stability models is still going to be able to be uh used with that putter so again full graphite this one

Here comes in 115 gram which is pretty popular uh you’ll see most of these graphite shafts for most companies uh kind of around that weight the 120s 115s uh even you know the 110s there’s some 125 135s uh those seem to be a little rare but it seems like the full graphite

Models are getting into this 115 120 range so this is pretty pretty common um the buildup is uh is really good it’s a 37 37in blank as I said two different tip sizes depending on the putter if you’re not sure uh when you order one from uh you know breakthrough golf you

Can kind of send them what putter you’re putting it into and they can kind of help you identify that hosle and and what you need to to go in here so this one here the pxg 355 taper uh so that’s what is in here and uh yeah it was

Pretty easy install just you know measure it off sand off uh you know carefully sand off the paint on the tip epoxy it in let it dry butt cut it down to size and then slap a grip on so pretty easy pretty uh standard pretty straightforward nothing too uh crazy uh

Bgd labels this as an ultra stiff uh shaft and it’s pretty stiff uh it is not the stiffest I’ve ever seen uh I will still give that uh uh designation to the fujiura MC MC1 15 extra firm uh that’s probably the stiffest putter shaft I’ve

Ever felt in terms of in my hands like giving it the flex test uh you know just kind of bending it in your hands this one here is pretty stout uh I would say it’s uh very similar uh stiffness wise to I would give it say just maybe a hair

Stiffer than the KBS GPS 120 uh and I would say maybe just a hair more stiff than the uh the Fuji Cura firm the the MCI firm uh those two there uh definitely a little bit stiffer than the the US Allin 2p shaft uh that I have

I’ve got the one with the steel tip uh this one definitely feels a little bit stiffer than that but uh not rebar not crazy crazy stiff uh it’s still got a little Flex to it uh and a little bit of give which usually means you’re going to

Have a little bit more feel with it uh you know when you get to the crazy crazy stiff in terms of bending uh they when you get crazy stiff uh some of them they they do take away a little feel from the putter uh and then this one here labeled

1° of torque 115 G 37in blank and a 60 handle section for for gripping so pretty stock pretty standard uh but then you know the material here one degree of torque is really really low uh and this thing here is built in with a head that is definitely a little heavier I think

This thing comes in at about 370 G uh right about I think that’s what we bumped it up to with the heavier weights so definitely a heavier uh heavier head on there and when you’re putting with it it really gives that kind of one piece connected feel where when you hold it by

The grip and you take that head back or that that putter back uh and then when you bring It Forward that whole stroke Everything feels connected nothing feels like it’s moving too much too little uh there’s just the head stays right there and that’s what I really like I really

Want uh like a stock steel shaft uh just it it has a lot of play it has some some movement to it uh and that’s okay because depending on you know certain Strokes uh if you’ve got a really smooth Tempo and and you know a longer putting

Stroke uh you can definitely find those work really well I’m a little shorter a little more jabby and uh for me I really like kind of this stiffer feel it just kind of has that that feeling of you know exactly where the head is at all times through the stroke uh even when

There’s that little bit of Arc uh in my stroke uh the head kind of it it opens and it rotates through you never feel like that head moves at all you know it doesn’t stay open or want to shut too quickly or doesn’t want to release too

Fast uh and you know you cause you any any feeling of of that you’re you’re losing some accuracy this is uh 100% right there uh in terms of that that connected feel the head does not feel like it TW wants to twist or Ken twist

Uh at all uh when you hit it uh when you bring that thing through I think even if you’re somebody who has a lot of Arc in the stroke you’re still going to have that feeling of being able to square it up really really easily and it does

Square up really simple e because you know exactly as your hands Square back up to uh to squared impact the the head’s going to be right there it’s not going to move it’s not going to twist uh there’s just you know there’s no droop there’s nothing uh to it uh with those

Putter strokes and even longer putts uh which you know I’ve been down here putting on my mat an absolute ton I haven’t been out to unfortunately a really real green with it uh but just using it on uh you know some some indoor pting mats and some indoor punting

Greens uh nothing’s been where I can hit like 60 yard putts or or anything or 50ft putts uh but I’ve been hitting some hard putts like in my basement I’ve had my uh mat set up there and then I’ve been basically putting uh like you know

Some softer items at the end and hitting some much harder putts uh just to see kind of how that feel is uh through the you know as the head moves and it stays extremely stable and stays right online uh every time it just uh it’s extremely consistent it it offers just a really

Easy uh you know way to feel like the putter is always going to be pointed wherever you’re uh you’re aimed uh on Miss hits It’s still again excuse me stays really stable if you hit it on the heel hit it on the toe the head does definitely feels like it wants to resist

Kind of opening closing or twisting in any way and with mallets you can typically feel that a little more or I mean with blades you can typically feel that a little more when you hit it off the toe you can usually feel the the club want to kind of fly open a little

Bit or on the heel you can kind of feel it want to close a little bit for me I feel like when you hit it off the heel there tends to be a little bit more mass with the hustle and all that I don’t

Feel it want to close as much uh but off the toe you can kind of feel a lot of times with the the head will want to maybe swing open or stay open uh just a a hair longer and then you typically miss that putt to the right um when this

Thing hits it pretty much keeps the head right there I mean there’s there’s minimal to zero uh kind of twist in that head whether you hit it on the heel hit it on the toe uh and whether it’s a little high or a little low on the face

Anything like that uh the CL the club face just stays Square it just always stay Square to your target uh and it does not want to move uh for for basically anything um which is nice I mean that’s the whole point of a lot of these shafts uh and then feel extremely

Soft uh I was you know I I think all these full graphite models kind of soften up the feel a little bit uh they kind of take away some of that unwanted vibration and then I think also they even change audibly the sound just a

Little bit and this putter as I said I had it with the original M16 shaft which is pretty good uh and it does you know soften things up a little bit this definitely takes it to a different level uh you know hitting balls uh it was

Almost uh you know hitting prov1 X’s I almost thought I was hitting a prov1 like it kind of softened it up that much and this of course has like kind of this Diamond Mill face that does offer a little softer feel as well there’s just less material to contact the ball so you

Still get a little softer field there but hitting prov1 X’s which is you know my usual ball um it almost felt like Pro v1’s like and usually there’s like a very distinct audible click difference and and I put down a prov1 versus Pro 1X and hit them both and when you’re

Hitting them side by side you can tell the difference uh but if you weren’t hitting them side by side you just throw down a Prov 1X uh it really does soften it up kind of mute mute some of that uh that sound uh and the am amount of

Vibration that gets to your hands is just uh is just minimized uh you still can hear and feel those those misses when you miss it hit it on the toe hit it on the heel you’re still going to feel a little bit of that vibration now

It is muted but you still get it like you still know and then audibly uh the sound is still there there that it changes you know it’s a little higher pitched it’s a little more loud uh off the face but compared to a standard steel Shaft or a two-piece steel

Graphite that was in here before uh the the the two spe one the stability two spe one really does uh soften it up I I was actually really imp impressed because after hitting so many graphite chaps I figured yeah they’re all kind of the same they all do the same thing uh I

Do have to say this is probably one of the softest out of all of them uh that I’ve hit and and there’s a few that I haven’t hit yet so I’m not going to you know lump it and say it is the end but out of the ones I’ve hit uh this is

Probably one of the softest feeling uh shafts in terms of a head now I know it’s it’s hard to say CU you’re comparing one head to another head and all that and it’s you know you’re not putting him there but um you know this thing is just it it really does uh you

Know give that that softer feel which which I kind of like I’ve always been that guy who I love the prov1x the performance of it is great it launches a little bit higher spins a little bit more more especially with the irons and I just I I hit better iron shots and

Stuff like that with it but I always like to feel the prov1 a little bit more a little bit better cuz it’s just a little bit softer and honestly this gives that that kind of a little bit of that feel back that you get with prov1

But you know still get the P performance out of the prov1x so uh really impressed with with how it feels uh and how it translates that vibration from face uh to your hands it’s just like I said just a little bit softer I think any putter head uh out there it’s going to

Basically do that for it’s going to soften it up just a touch uh reduce just a little bit of that vibration and keep things uh you know keep things just a little more muted to the hands which is nice but still uh you know give you that

Responsiveness that when you do have a little Mish hit you hit it off the toe you hit off the heel you know none of us are perfect we’re all you know we’re not hitting uh uh perfect putts every single time off the dead center uh you’re still

Going to know that you’re still going to get that response from the putter that says oh yeah you you caught it off the toe a little bit um now cutting with it uh th those M hits you know with that head staying more stable uh I found that

Those shots off the toe shots off the heel uh heel strikes I almost felt didn’t really miss it basically stayed on line from Center to heel I felt like if you aimed at the cup you basically hit the cup and now maybe you caught it

On the heel it might be like that left Edge or or just you know left Center uh but I felt like everything kind of stayed in the hole still uh on the toe you hit it off there and again depending on how egregious the the Miss was uh if

You’re light toe you’re probably still going to make the putt you know the speeds there uh now you know if you hit it really far off there it may open it up just a hair uh and you just may just miss the cut but I feel like uh the

Misses there were were very very minimal and it was probably more of me not getting a dead Square uh at impact is why I missed uh those putts out to the right but hitting it off the toe very minimal deflection that bulb pretty much stays close to inside the cup maybe just

A hair outside uh so even if you miss it uh you you know it it you’re probably going to be right around the hole or or you’re not going to have something that’s super short way right and have uh you know something you have to think about coming back it’s going to be

Basically you know you miss it off the toe ball comes up just right you’re probably just going to walk in tap it in I mean you’re really going to be close so uh the consistency there is really really good uh and it’s the same way time after time I mean just hitting

Putts down here uh and like you know the 10-footers which is kind of my mat uh decent Strokes everything was like in the hole everything was on top of the hole the hole right around it stuff that was really hit off the toe you notice that they were just outside the cup but

Not by much and honestly the speed held up pretty well uh now again we’re not uh on the course uh truly with it yet and you know not playing undulation but I mean you know as long as you’re reading stuff right the speed all that uh I I think these these high-end graphite

Putter shafts I think do give you some consistency that you don’t get from you know some of the stock softer steel stuff I feel like you do gain a little bit of accuracy now yes this isn’t going to make every single putt for you you’re

Not going to all of a sudden one putt every Green um you know you still got speed you still got read there’s still stuff there that uh that you got to get right but I feel like on putts that are kind of straight that you would you know

That you don’t hit perfectly these can kind of help you make some of those putts and get some of those to stay right near the cup and have a chance of falling in uh where you know some other shafts you know maybe you don’t get away

With that um but the stability one from breakthrough is really really solid I would I was uh really impressed with it and uh I I didn’t really know what to expect when I first got it I mean I I’ve hit a lot of graphite putter shafts so

Uh I kind of expected it to be kind of just one of the same kind of get lost in the crowd but uh I feel like this thing you know does offer you the stability the consistency uh but then offers you also just like a little bit softer feel

Uh than a lot of the other putter shafts uh out there is at least that I’ve hit which are what is it three or four of them different ones all that um that I think it does offer a decent amount uh of of kind of feel

Adjustment that I I really like I think it’s uh I think it’s really good I like softening up the putter just a little bit I was always kind of an original you know Odyssey white hot guy back in the day I like a little softer feeling Putter and softer sounding Putter and uh

And this definitely does that but um no the uh the consistency of this thing and I think it helps let you get away with uh some puts that that you might not have got away with with a stock uh stock shaft so uh definitely something

Interesting uh I’m glad I got to hit it so far it’ll definitely be excuse me out on the course with me as soon as I can as soon as I’m able to go hit balls and and get out there uh this is going to be out you know out with me and and

Definitely taking this out so uh this will definitely be in the rotation I’m and I’m excited to get on the course I’m excited I want to hit that like 50ft Putt and see uh see how it goes uh as well as you know just you know some some

Little you know sketchy putts that you don’t quite commit to as much I want to see uh see what happens there uh that you can’t really replicate on uh on a putting green indoors or a putting mat or anything like that you need that little bit of pressure and that little

Bit of uh uh you know fear uh in you to uh to get those putts to uh to come out that way but overall the the Breakthrough golf uh stability TP one really really solid love the feel the soft feel of it uh and you get that soft

Feel while still having a ton of consistency and accuracy so uh if it’s one of those where you know you’re kind of feeling down that road to go try some of these uh you know upgraded putter shafts uh and you like a little bit softer feel uh you know definitely

Stability to or spec one is is definitely worth uh worth taking a look at especially if you just have a standard hle that you can put it into but a really really solid putter shaft um and I like the feel of it and uh yeah it uh it’s done everything it’s claimed

To do and uh and and offered some good feels so a really solid option if you go to a breakthrough golf tech.com you can go check out kind of all the specs all that on this uh this putter shaft so um very cool very excited to to play it

Some more and uh you know see how it goes so golf is as one of my buddies said over this holiday like golf just around the corner like we’re going to be playing soon just around the corner so I hope he’s uh hope he’s right and uh we

  1. I've been using stability tour shafts in my putter for the last few years and I won't go back to steel putters shaft. The putter feels so stable with the stability shaft. I have stability cobalt in my byron morgon and a stability polar in my tp mills.

  2. Couldn't agree with you more on the new Titleist irons. A few months ago I added a T150 5 iron to my set of T100S (6 thru 48 deg. wedge) and its like butter. Fatter sole, slightly thicker top line. If i didn't have my 2021 T100S irons which i love i would've went for a full set of T150's. I was custom fit for all my gear in 2ndSwing, DE. Love that store. This works out better anyway getting a bit more help in my longest iron. I hear you on lowering your handicap. I'm currently at 10.6, my lowest was 7.0 in October 2022. Considering I had a full left hip replacement surgery in Jan. 2022 and just recently had my right one replaced last month, no doubt i was having issues all this year especially fatigue later in the rounds. My 2024 goal is to get back to a 7. Happy New year.

  3. love the content man. im in the same boat. trying to play more but still enjoying time with my 3 young kids. tough battle for sure
